refractor ambiguities are big problem in seismic refraction method especially in seismic engineering. there can be hidden subsurface geological phenomena such as hidden faults and shear zones which are not simply predicted by the travel-time graph or some geophysical methods. head wave amplitudes are used to show the resolution of refractor ambiguities and the existence of anisotropy in complex...

The absence of high velocity redshifted forbidden lines in classical T-Tauri stars (Appenzeller et al. 1984; Edwards et al. 1987) has long be taken as evidence of opaque circumstellar disks: disks which occlude the receding component of the stellar wind or outflow, allowing only the blueshifted emission to be observed. There has been some controversy in the literature recently as to whether a d...

The indispensable vital structure in any harbor is a breakwater in order to make available calm water region inshore. Pile breakwater can be employed as a small coastal protection structure where tranquility required is low. This study is concerned with CFD study on the performance of perforated hollow pile to dissipate wave energy and the novelty of this investigation is the role of perforatio...

seismic piezocone device (scptu) together with resonant column and cyclic triaxial test apparatus are employed to measure small strain shear modulus (g0) of carbonate sandy and clayey soils of southern coasts of iran. a large area of southern regions of iran is formed from clay, silt and sand. in this study, maximum shear modulus that is derived from both field (by seismic piezocone) and labora...

the spontaneous generation of inertia–gravity waves (igws) in the idealized simulation of vortical flows is investigated using the isentropic two-layer model on a sphere. the contour-advective semi-lagrangian (casl) algorithm is applied to solve the primitive equations using the potential vorticity (pv), velocity divergence, and acceleration divergence as the prognostic variables. the casl algo...
