Creator:: Mosier, Thomas M.
Abstract:: In many regions of the world, a significant portion of the surface water originates in mountain headwaters where the timing and magnitude of streamflow is largely dictated by the seasonal storage of precipitation as snowpack and long-term storage as glaciers. Accumulation, persistence, and melt of snow and ice are functions...

Creator:: Jayasuriya, Waduge Jayani A.
Abstract:: Smoldering combustion in wildland fires is a critical phenomenon that needs in-depth study because it can initiate with weaker ignition sources, can persist for long periods, is difficult to suppress, and can transit to flaming combustion. Cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin are the major organic constituents within biomass, in varying proportions...

Creator:: Bean, Derek R.
Abstract:: The severity of wildfires around the globe is increasing. At the same time, urban development is expanding outward into areas where severe fires occur. There is an increased risk of home loss to fires in areas where severe fires and urban expansion meet. Ignition of homes or nearby fuel is...

Creator:: Elhashimi, Mohammed A.
Abstract:: The accelerated development in water-energy systems calls for advanced modeling and optimization tools to improve technologies’ performance. Water desalination is a manifestation of water-energy system that is challenged by different operational constraints. The scarcity and uneven distribution of freshwater around the world makes water desalination an indispensable process to address...

Creator:: Bonebrake, Jonathan M.
Abstract:: Practical combustion devices frequently rely upon forced ignition of turbulent fuel/oxidizer mixtures that also contain the product species of combustion. Examples of this include engines that use exhaust gas recirculation (EGR), inter-turbine burners in aircraft engines, and other systems the utilize staged combustion. In this work, the effects of major...
