most of river engineering problems are complicated and need to be analyzed by three dimensional models of flow and sediment transport. considering the fact that computers and numerical methods with great ability of flow and sediment transport simulation are developing quickly, using numerical modeling by engineers is inevitable. nevertheless, before application, numerical models need to be veri...

numerical investigation of 3d electrokinetic mixing through micromixer has performed both qualitatively and quantitatively. in order to reduce numerical expenses of 3d flows, we implement the helmholtz-smoluchowski method for the numerical modeling of electroosmotic flows. according to the previous study of electrokinetic mixing inside the heterogeneous microchannels, existence of the vortexes ...

Reservoir modeling is the process of generating numerical representations of reservoir conditions and properties on the basis of geological, geophysical, and engineering data measured on the Earth’s surface or in depth at a limited number of borehole locations. Therefore, reservoir modeling requires an incorporation of the data from a variety of sources, along with an integration of knowledge a...

As the first phase of a series of monitoring and modeling studies of Iranian coastal areas, Chabahar Bay, located on the north coast of the Gulf of Oman, was under a comprehensive monitoring and modeling study in 2006-2007. The study included an extensive one-year field measurements program to help understanding the ongoing processes in the bay and provide inputs or boundary conditions and vali...

The expansion of the settlement trough is an important factor in the risk assessment of the tunneling induced settlement. The increase of settlement trough requires buildings to be included in the impact zone, which causes damages. This paper conducts estimation of the settlement trough width (STW) using empirical approaches, field measurement data and numerical solutions. The credibility of th...

Outdoor high-voltage equipment is exposed to rain and moisture. Water droplets on the surface of insulators influence negatively the insulating and hydrophobic material properties. The shape of the droplets signifies the state of the aging material. The present paper develops a numerical procedure to determine the three-dimensional shape of water droplets in strong electric fields. That include...

In this research work, a 3D numerical modeling technique is proposed based on the 3D particle flow code in order to investigate the failure mechanism of rock foundations. Two series of footings with different geometries and areas are considered in this work. The failure mechanism obtained is similar to that of the Terzaghi’s but there is a negligible difference in between. Lastly, one equation ...
