Numerical Study on the Hydraulics of Stormwater Catch Basin Grate Inlets under Clean and Clogging Conditions
DownloadSpring 2023
Accurate assessment of urban drainage system is vital for municipalities. Stormwater catch basin (CB) inlets are critical linkages between the two dimensional (2-D) urban street flow and the 1-D underground sewer network flow. So far, extensive studies have been conducted to quantify the...

Experimental Tight Rock Characterization and Surfactant Screening for Hydraulic Fracturing Operations
DownloadSpring 2023
Recently, unconventional resources, especially tight and shale reservoirs, have developed rapidly because of advances in horizontal drilling technologies and hydraulic fracturing technique. Based on the annual energy outlook of the Energy Information Administration, tight oil production in the US...

Developing Penetration Rate Prediction Models to Enhance the Productivity Prediction of Microtunneling Construction Projects
DownloadSpring 2023
Predicting the productivity of microtunnelling construction projects is challenging due to the inherent complexities of this trenchless excavation method. One of these complexities has to do with estimating the micro-tunnel boring machine penetration rate, given that it is subject to a number of...

Inclusion of Hydro-Mechanical Behaviour of Discrete Fracture Networks in Coupled Reservoir Geomechanical Simulations
DownloadSpring 2023
Discontinuities are one of the most prominent features of the Earth’s upper crust, these are the result of the action of different geological, mechanical, thermal and chemical activities over millions of years. The term rock mass was created to describe the in situ medium containing intact rock...
