(
Hamad bin Khalifa University Press (HBKU Press)
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
The aim of this study is to investigate the urban morphological factors that influence urban microclimate and outdoor thermal comfort in hot semi-arid climate. It explores the main features that influence the urban climate ...
A Robust Modification to the Universal Cavitation Algorithm in Journal Bearings
(
American Society of Mechanical Engineers
, 2016 , Article)
In the current study, a modified fast converging, mass-conserving, and robust algorithm is proposed for calculation of the pressure distribution of a cavitated axially grooved journal bearing based on the finite volume ...
Aeroacoustic Simulation for NASA CC3 Centrifugal Compressor Operating at off Design Condition
(2016 , Conference Paper)
This paper covers the characterization of the acoustic noise and the unsteady flow field of a high speed centrifugal compressor NASA CC3. In order to accurately predict the noise, all analyses are carried out through the ...

State-of-the-art review on sustainable design and construction of quieter pavements-Part 1: Traffic noise measurement and abatement techniques
(
Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI)
, 2016 , Article)
Noise pollution due to highway traffic has drawn the attention of transportation agencies worldwide. Noise pollution is an irritant to residents, especially in urban areas near roads with high traffic volume. In addition ...
Joint replenishment model for multiple products with substitution
(
Elsevier Inc.
, 2016 , Article)
We extend the classical economic order quantity model to address the joint replenishment of multiple products under substitution. The proposed model optimizes ordering quantities for each product under substitution effects ...
