  3. 2. Bluegreengrey (BGG) solution for future climate and flood-resilient urban drainage network by enhancing the natural hydrological cycle

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Teknisk vattenresurslära

    Author : Adnan Asif Rifat; [2023]
    Keywords : Bluegreengrey; Sustainable stormwater; Basement flooding; Urban flooding; Pipe Network; BGG; Climate change; Hydrology; Mike .; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : A loop of urbanization, increasing impervious surface in urban areas, increasing temperature, rainfall, surface runoff and flooding, and lack of new spaces have been adding challenges to urban drainage systems for decades. The climate change impacts are exposing the existing vulnerable conventional urban drainage systems to more challenges in the future. READ MORE

  4. 3. Development of a DEM-FEM framework for infrastructure simulations

    University essay from Göteborgs universitet / Institutionen för fysik

    Author : Anita Ullrich; [2022-09-20]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : This thesis presents a coupling algorithm of the discrete element method (DEM) and finite element method (FEM). The algorithm formulates an explicit coupling of transient simulations of particle systems interacting with elastic bodies. READ MORE
