  • WebRUSLE : web-based revised universal soil loss equation (RUSLE)

    Creator:
    Wuttiwat, Teerawat
    Abstract:
    Revised Universal Soil Loss Equation (RUSLE) is a standard for estimating soil loss caused by rainfall and overland flow. The current software tool that implements this standard is RUSLE 1.06b, which is a stand-alone DOS application. In this project, we converted the DOS application to a Web application, which we...

  • On existence and uniqueness of weak solutions to the Navier-Stokes equations in R3

    Creator:
    Peterson, Samuel H.
    Abstract:
    This thesis is on the existence and uniqueness of weak solutions to the Navier-Stokes equations in R3 which govern the velocity of incompressible fluid with viscosity ν. The solution is obtained in the space of tempered distributions on R3 given an initial condition and forcing data which are dominated by...

  • Swept time-space domain decomposition on GPUs and heterogeneous computing systems

    Creator:
    Magee, Daniel J.
    Abstract:
    Modern scientific and engineering problems often require simulations with a level of resolution difficult to achieve in reasonable amounts of time—even in effectively parallelized programs. Therefore, applications that exploit high performance computing (HPC) systems have become invaluable in academia and industry over the past two decades. Addressing the questions that...

  • Static and Wave Equation Analyses and Development of Region-specific Resistance Factors for Driven Piles

    Creator:
    Bougataya, Youssef
    Abstract:
    This study uses an existing database of dynamic loading tests of driven piles installed in the Puget Sound Lowlands to improve the reliability of axial performance. First, the unit shaft resistances developed from stress wave signal matching to dynamic records of pile installation are used to develop an effective stress-based...

  • Persistence of Populations in Environments with an Interface

    Creator:
    Rekow, James A.
    Abstract:
    We model a fish population in a spatial region comprising a marine protected area and a fishing ground separated by an interface. The model assumes conservation of biomass density and takes the form of a reaction diffusion equation with a logistic reaction term. At the interface, in addition to continuity...

  • Steady State Modeling of the Minimum Critical Core of the Transient Reactor Test Facility

    Creator:
    Alberti, Anthony L.
    Abstract:
    With the advent of next generation reactor systems and new fuel designs, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) has identified the need for the resumption of transient testing of nuclear fuels. The DOE has decided that the Transient Reactor Test Facility (TREAT) at Idaho National Laboratory (INL) is best suited...

  • Operator splitting methods for Maxwell's equations in dispersive media

    Creator:
    Keefer, Olivia A.
    Abstract:
    Accurate modeling and simulation of wave propagation in dispersive dielectrics such as water, human tissue and sand, among others, has a variety of applications. For example in medical imaging, electromagnetic waves are used to interrogate human tissue in a non-invasive manner to detect anomalies that could be cancerous. In non-destructive...
