Retention of Hydrophobic Colloids in Unsaturated Porous Media using Microfluidics
(
Qatar University Press
, 2023 , Conference Paper)
Water recharge wells can provide a solution for 3.5 billion people, living in regions suffering from water scarcity. Due to fines migration, freshwater wells that are used to recharge aquifers, often experience expedited ...
Automated Calibration of the EPA-SWMM Model for an Impact of Land Use and Land Cover Changes on Peak Discharge for a Sub-Urban Catchment of Delhi
(
Qatar University Press
, 2023 , Conference Paper)
The Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) Storm Water Management Model (SWMM), USA is a dynamic hydrologic-hydraulic model that simulates the amount and quality of runoff from urban areas. It is broadly used for planning, ...
Efficient Turbidity Removal Using a New Gel Filtration Process
(
Qatar University Press
, 2023 , Conference Paper)
The removal of turbidity is a prime objective in the treatment of seawater, especially in the production of potable water. The water turbidity exists because of the colloidal particles or large-weight molecules that remain ...
The Dependent Clogging Dynamics and Its Impact on Porous Media Permeability Reduction
(
Qatar University Press
, 2023 , Conference Paper)
The dynamics of fine particle entrapment, transport, and deposition within pore systems, particularly the ability of mobile fines to impair permeability within porous media, are critical to a variety of natural and manmade ...
A Static and Free Vibration Analysis of Porous Functionally Graded Beams
(
Qatar University Press
, 2023 , Conference Paper)
In this work, the static and free vibration analysis of functionally graded (FG) porous beams is investigated using a new higher-order shear deformation model (HSD). The porosity that develops naturally during the fabrication ...
A Multi-Criteria Decision-Making Approach for Selection of Wave Energy Converter Optimal Site
(
Qatar University Press
, 2023 , Conference Paper)
Ocean wave energy is an essential source of renewable power for coastal communities. Choosing the optimal site for the wave energy converter (WEC) deployment depends on a number of criteria. The characteristics of the WEC ...
Statistical Analysis of the Effect of Water Table Fluctuation and Soil Layering on the Distribution of BTEX on Soil and Groundwater Under Anaerobic Condition
(
Qatar University Press
, 2023 , Conference Paper)
Crude oil, gasoline, and diesel fuel spills pollute groundwater in many coastal areas. BTEX is a hydrocarbon of concern due to its high-water solubility, which allows it to spread widely in the subsurface environment. The ...
Watermain Breaks in Hong Kong: Causes and Consequences
(
Qatar University Press
, 2023 , Conference Paper)
Watermain failure is a complex problem associated with significant socio-economic and environmental impacts. The complexity of this problem originates from many factors of physical, operational, and environmental nature. ...
Criteria and Challenges of Inclusive Design in the Built Environment
(
Qatar University Press
, 2023 , Conference Paper)
Inclusive design is about designing accessible spaces for individuals with different needs. It beholds the ability to affect people's behaviour in the built environment, especially People With Disability (PWDs). Inclusive ...
Performance Criteria Priorities in Green Buildings: A Proof-of-Concept Study
(
Qatar University Press
, 2023 , Conference Paper)
Green Buildings (GBs) are becoming increasingly popular as an alternative to resource-intensive traditional buildings. Like any other construction project, GB projects are subject to project management-related criteria, ...
