Sensitivity Analysis
ISBN: 9783639212730 / Angielski / Miękka / 200 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. An important step to determine whether certain coastal environment parameters can be estimated using optical remote sensing measurements is to establish their identifiability from the measured water leaving remote sensing reflectance. This work addresses the Sensitivity Analysis of water leaving remote sensing reflectance to water constituents, based on the prior uncertainties of all input parameters to the model used, Hydrolight, a radiative transfer code for ocean waters. The Morris screening method is used to determine which parameters have a substantial influence on the Remote Sensing...

Volcano Seismology Case Studies
ISBN: 9783639220452 / Angielski / Miękka / 140 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. I study the structure beneath volcanoes; describe unexpected effects of the shaking from an earthquake on volcanoes; and suggest a model for a magma system. The conceivable configuration of magma systems beneath Galeras (Colombia) is studied with b- value mapping. I obtain models for earthquake- volcanoes interactions by studying drops in seismicity at Mt. Wrangell (Alaska), after the 2002 Denali Fault Earthquake. A model for the magmatic system beneath Mt. Veniaminof is proposed by modeling velocities and relocating shocks, and by studying the temporal changes of frequencies and ...

Sustainable Cities for the Third Millennium: The Odyssey of Urban Excellence
ISBN: 9781441960368 / Angielski / Twarda / 233 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. At the dawn of the third millennium, planet Earth entered a zone of turbulence. The 2008 crisis added economic uncertainty to the threat of global warming and extreme events such as droughts, floods and cyclones, the persisting crisis of p- erty and the spectrum of pandemics and terrorism. Against this global landscape in an era of fragility, cities, already sheltering more than half of humankind, appear as Janus-faced realities, the best and worst of places, vulnerable but still full of hope and will to overcome the crisis of societal values and progress in the path of susta- able...

Reliability-Based Rock Slope Stability Analysis
ISBN: 9783639079784 / Angielski / Miękka / 116 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Design of a safe slope or checking the safety of an existing one is an important and complicated problem in rock engineering. The main source of complication is the existence of uncertainties, which can be analyzed and quantified in a rational way only through probabilistic methods. This book explains the principles of reliability-based analyses and design of rock slopes that can easily be used by the practicing engineers. The first-order second-moment (FORM) method and Monte Carlo Simulation (MCS) procedure are adopted as the reliability assessment models and they are implemented for the...

Streamline Simulation with Capillary Effects
ISBN: 9783639166514 / Angielski / Miękka / 180 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The advantages of the streamline methods are their exceptional simulation speed and less dispersed solutions. However streamlines provide limited abilities, compared to finite-difference simulators. One of such drawbacks is lack of capillary effects, which may be crucially important in heterogeneous and fractured reservoirs. The book starts with an introduction into the fluid flow in the porous media and capillary effects. In the second chapter the mathematical formulation of the governing equations with capillary effects are presented. A Capillary-Viscous Potential (CVP) is introduced as...

Waterflooding Heavy Oil Reservoirs
ISBN: 9783639224351 / Angielski / Miękka / 128 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Waterflooding is one of the most common techniques used to improve oil recovery. Although waterflooding has been extensively implemented in light oil reservoirs, only a few waterflooding studies and field tests have been conducted in heavy oil reservoirs. Therefore, the effect of various operating and reservoir parameters on the performance of waterflooding in heavy oil reservoirs is not well understood. This study presents the results of several series of displacement experiments and simulation studies evaluating different aspects of the waterflooding process in heavy oil reservoirs. The...

Tropical Cyclone Induced Changes in Tropoposphere
ISBN: 9783639226393 / Angielski / Miękka / 212 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The characteristics of the troposphere and lower stratosphere during the passage of tropical cyclones have been studied in detail using the Indian MST radar located at Gadanki (13.5 N, 79.2 E), India. The winds in the troposphere and lower stratosphere are greatly affected by the passage of cyclones. Lower and middle tropospheric winds showed signs of reversal, while strengthening of winds are noted in the upper troposphere and lower stratosphere during the passage of cyclones. The vertical wind showed marked variations only when the cyclone is closest to the station. The presence...

Modelling the Evolution of Arctic Melt Ponds
ISBN: 9783639221558 / Angielski / Miękka / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. An accurate estimate of the fraction of the Arctic upper sea-ice surface covered in melt ponds during the summer melt season is essential for a realistic estimate of the albedo for global climate models. Presented here is a melt-pond-sea-ice model that simulates the evolution of melt ponds across an Arctic sea-ice surface. Thermodynamic processes are modelled using the mushy-layer equations in sea ice, heat diffusion equations in snow and using assumptions of turbulent heat flux in melt ponds, along with a three-layer two-stream radiation model. There is a realistic hydraulic...

Direct Spatiotemporal Interpolation of Reservoir Flow Responses
ISBN: 9783639232561 / Angielski / Miękka / 88 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The traditional reservoir modeling workflow consists of first developing a reservoir model, performing flow simulation on that model, verifying the model by performing history matching and finally using the history matched model to make predictions of future performance. In contrast, this work demonstrates two quick approaches to directly analyze the spatio-temporal variations of dynamic responses such as pressure and well flowrates and perform interpolation. Both these techniques are anchored to the data at the wells. Therefore, the resultant spatio-temporal predictions of dynamic response...
