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...

introduction temporal and spatial change of meteorological and environmental variables is very important. these changes can be predicted by numerical prediction models over time and in different locations and can be provided as spatial zoning maps with interpolation methods such as geostatistics (16, 6). but these maps are comparable to each other as visual, qualitative and univariate for a lim...

the motivation for this work is to propose a first thorough review of dough rheological models used in numerical applications. although many models have been developed to describe dough rheological characteristics, few of them are employed by researchers in numerical applications. this article reviews them in detail and attempts to provide new insight into the use of dough rheological models.

in this paper, numerical simulation of frp composite cylinder tubes progressive crushing processes is conducted using ls-dyna. details on the numerical modeling strategy are given and discussed. it is found that triggers introduced in the numerical simulation can effectively model the bevel trigger at the end of the tubular specimens. it is also found that two-layer finite element model based o...

Bimrocks are complex geomaterials that are defined as mixtures of rocks composed of geotechnically significant blocks within a matrix of finer texture. Bimslopes are made from bimrocks and are usually seen in weathered and shallow environments. Some characteristics of blocks affecting the strength of bimrocks include VBP (Volumetric Block Proportion), orientation, and arrangement, which have im...

seismic behavior of a rockfill dam with asphalt-concrete core has been studied utilizing numerical models with material parameters determined by laboratory tests. the case study selected for these analyses, is the meyjaran asphalt core dam, recently constructed in northern iran, with 60 m height and 180 m crest length. the numerical analyses have been performed using a nonlinear three dimension...
