Computational fluid dynamics modelling of pipeline on-bottom stability.
… hydrodynamic loads on pipeline and soil resistance in isolation. In reality, the pipeline stability problem is much more complex involving hydrodynamic loadings, pipeline response, soil resistance, embedment and pipe-soil-fluid interaction. In this thesis Computational Fluid Dynamics …

Korean English teachers' perceptions about teaching English through English (TETE)
… reality, which has resulted in widespread passive resistance to TETE. The literature on curricular innovation suggests that classroom innovation is greatly affected by factors outside the classroom and, furthermore, that the diffusion of innovations is a complicated process. A study about …

Study of Hybrid Magneto-Active Propellant Management Device for Slosh Damping
… to counteract the free surface effect in both passive and active membrane known as Magneto-Active Propellant Management Device (MAPMD) to actively control the free surface effect and reduce fuel slosh is explored in this research. Being a hybrid membrane, it would initially offer passive …

Seismic behaviour of anchored steel sheet pile walls in sand
… and (iv) the progressive mobilization of the passive resistance of the soil. In saturated conditions, these were counterbalanced by the generation of excess pore water pressure. Accounting for these aspects in limit equilibrium pseudo-static solutions improved the predictions of the failure …
