Slurry Transport : Fundamentals, A Historical Overview & The Delft Head Loss …
In dredging, the hydraulic transport of solids is one of the most important processes. Since the 50’s many researchers have tried to create a physical mathematical model in order to predict the head losses in slurry transport. One can think of the models of Durand&Condolios(1952)& Durand (1953), Worster& Denny(1955), Newitt et al.(1955), Gibert (1960), Fuhrboter (1961), Jufin & Lopatin (1966)…

The end of automobile dependence
In this publication, Newman and Kenworthy look at how we can accelerate a planning approach to designing urban environments that can function reliably and conveniently on alternative modes. They consider a refined and more civilized automobile playing a very much reduced and manageable role in urban transportation. The authors examine the rise and fall of automobile dependence using updated dat…
