Laboratory Investigation of Polymer-flooding, ASP-flooding, and Foam-flooding in Heavy Oil System
… because heat losses will be too severe. Water flooding is an alternative but it can only achieve a very low oil recovery due to severe viscous fingering. Hence, research into other non-thermal recovery methods is necessary. This thesis presents a laboratory-scale investigation of heavy oil …

THERMOSYPHON FLOODING IN REDUCED GRAVITY ENVIRONMENTS
… innovative experiment to study the thermosyphon flooding limits was designed and flown on a parabolic flight campaign to achieve the Reduced Gravity Environments (RGE) needed to obtain empirical data for analysis. Current correlation models of Faghri and Tien and Chung do not agree with the data. …

Efficient flooding for wireless mesh networks
Flooding in wireless mesh networks involves distributing some data from one node to rest of the nodes in the network. This dissertation proposes UFlood, a flooding protocol for wireless mesh networks that targets large file transfers, such as software updates, where achieving high throughput …

Prepositioning for flooding in the Sacramento region
California is a state prone to many natural disasters such as earthquakes, fires, and floods. The CAL EMA (California Emergency Management Agency) is in charge of planning for such events, and in coordination with other state and local agencies, CAL EMA prepositions resources to provide basic food, …

Probable maximum flooding using quantitative weather radar
Reservoir spillways are designed to pass extreme flood events without significant damage. For Category A dams in the UK (whereby a breach will endanger lives in a community), designs are based on the Probable Maximum Flood (PMF) arising from the critical duration Probable Maximum Precipitation …

Riverine flooding using GIS and remote sensing
Floods are caused by extreme meteorological and hydrological changes that are influenced directly or indirectly by human activities within the environment. The flood trends show that floods will reoccur and shall continue to affect the livelihoods, property, agriculture and the surrounding …

Analysis, Modeling, and Forecasting Of Urban Flooding
… increase in frequency and intensity, urban flooding is an emerging concern. Urban flooding is caused when heavy rainfall collects on the landscape, exceeding the capacity of drainage systems to effectively convey runoff. Unlike riverine and coastal flooding, urban flooding occurs frequently, …

An improved agent-based adaptive protection model for distributed denial of service flooding attack and flash crowd flooding traffic
… Similar to a DDoS attack is the Flash Crowd (FC) flooding traffics, in which a particular service is assessed by many legitimate users concurrently, which results in the denial of service. Overloading of network resources is a common issue associated with both of these events, which impact CPU, …

Gravel barrier dynamics, coastal erosion and flooding risk
… gravel barrier dynamics on coastal erosion and flooding risk. Establishing the potential for coastal landforms to provide effective risk reduction is salient given growing momentum behind coastal management approaches seeking to incorporate ‘natural’ processes and landforms into more …

Semantic model and updated screening criteria for polymer flooding
… a comprehensive study of data related to polymer flooding technology, from laboratory, pilot, and field applications. The project starts with intensive analysis of polymer flooding as a specified knowledge domain, extracting major concepts in the domain and data that can be generated from or by …

Incorporating Wider Infrastructure Disruption in Urban Flooding Resilience Investments
Resilience planning for critical infrastructure (CI) is essential for mitigating disruptions caused by natural hazards, particularly in flood-prone urban areas. This research explores the application of resilience concepts, CI interdependency models, and quantitative assessment frameworks to …

NUMERICALLY MODELING FLOODING SUSCEPTIBILITY OF THE UNITED STATES NAVAL ACADEMY
Urban flooding affects many of the world’s low-lying, coastal cities today. Whether induced by prolonged periods of rainfall, storm surge, or river overtopping, these issues pose as a hazard to human life as well as a source of damage to urban infrastructure. The United States Naval Academy is one …

Impacts of coastal flooding on watersheds in Hampton Roads, VA
Coastal communities face threats of flooding associated with episodic storm events and high tides that are increasing in severity and frequency due to climate change and sea level rise (SLR). The Mid-Atlantic U.S. is experiencing SLR at rates faster than the global average, especially in Hampton …
