Calibrating a CFD canopy model with the EC1 vertical profiles of mean wind sp...Stephane Meteodyn
For some projects, applying the basic rules of EC1 is not sufficient, and it is required to get a more accurate estimation of the wind speed on the construction site. This can be done by using computational fluid dynamics codes which have the advantage, both to take into account of the terrain inhomogeneity and to calculate 3D orographic effects. In this way, the orography and roughness effects are coupled as they are in the real world. However, applying CFD computations must be in coherence with EC1 code. Then it is necessary to calibrate the ground friction for low roughness terrains as well as the drag force and turbulence production in case of high roughness lengths due to the presence of a canopy (forests or built areas). That is the condition for such methods to be commonly used and agreed by Building Control Officers. In this mind, TopoWind has been developed especially for wind design applications and can be a very useful, practical and objective tool for wind design engineers. The canopy model implemented in TopoWind has been calibrated in order to get the mean wind and turbulence profiles as defined in the EC1 for standard terrains. In this way, TopoWind computations satisfy the continuity between the EC1 values for homogeneous terrains and the more complex cases involving inhomogeneous roughness or orographic effects

Immunizing Image Classifiers Against Localized Adversary Attacksgerogepatton
This paper addresses the vulnerability of deep learning models, particularly convolutional neural networks
(CNN)s, to adversarial attacks and presents a proactive training technique designed to counter them. We
introduce a novel volumization algorithm, which transforms 2D images into 3D volumetric representations.
When combined with 3D convolution and deep curriculum learning optimization (CLO), itsignificantly improves
the immunity of models against localized universal attacks by up to 40%. We evaluate our proposed approach
using contemporary CNN architectures and the modified Canadian Institute for Advanced Research (CIFAR-10
and CIFAR-100) and ImageNet Large Scale Visual Recognition Challenge (ILSVRC12) datasets, showcasing
accuracy improvements over previous techniques. The results indicate that the combination of the volumetric
input and curriculum learning holds significant promise for mitigating adversarial attacks without necessitating
adversary training.

NUMERICAL SIMULATIONS OF HEAT AND MASS TRANSFER IN CONDENSING HEAT EXCHANGERS...ssuser7dcef0
Power plants release a large amount of water vapor into the
atmosphere through the stack. The flue gas can be a potential
source for obtaining much needed cooling water for a power
plant. If a power plant could recover and reuse a portion of this
moisture, it could reduce its total cooling water intake
requirement. One of the most practical way to recover water
from flue gas is to use a condensing heat exchanger. The power
plant could also recover latent heat due to condensation as well
as sensible heat due to lowering the flue gas exit temperature.
Additionally, harmful acids released from the stack can be
reduced in a condensing heat exchanger by acid condensation. reduced in a condensing heat exchanger by acid condensation.
Condensation of vapors in flue gas is a complicated
phenomenon since heat and mass transfer of water vapor and
various acids simultaneously occur in the presence of noncondensable
gases such as nitrogen and oxygen. Design of a
condenser depends on the knowledge and understanding of the
heat and mass transfer processes. A computer program for
numerical simulations of water (H2O) and sulfuric acid (H2SO4)
condensation in a flue gas condensing heat exchanger was
developed using MATLAB. Governing equations based on
mass and energy balances for the system were derived to
predict variables such as flue gas exit temperature, cooling
water outlet temperature, mole fraction and condensation rates
of water and sulfuric acid vapors. The equations were solved
using an iterative solution technique with calculations of heat
and mass transfer coefficients and physical properties.

Hierarchical Digital Twin of a Naval Power SystemKerry Sado
A hierarchical digital twin of a Naval DC power system has been developed and experimentally verified. Similar to other state-of-the-art digital twins, this technology creates a digital replica of the physical system executed in real-time or faster, which can modify hardware controls. However, its advantage stems from distributing computational efforts by utilizing a hierarchical structure composed of lower-level digital twin blocks and a higher-level system digital twin. Each digital twin block is associated with a physical subsystem of the hardware and communicates with a singular system digital twin, which creates a system-level response. By extracting information from each level of the hierarchy, power system controls of the hardware were reconfigured autonomously. This hierarchical digital twin development offers several advantages over other digital twins, particularly in the field of naval power systems. The hierarchical structure allows for greater computational efficiency and scalability while the ability to autonomously reconfigure hardware controls offers increased flexibility and responsiveness. The hierarchical decomposition and models utilized were well aligned with the physical twin, as indicated by the maximum deviations between the developed digital twin hierarchy and the hardware.

A.1.1 Silty Sand with 20% Fines
The typical saturated unit weight value for this type of soil is 120 lb/ft3
(based on Table

Since FLAC analyses were configured for groundwater (CONFIGgw), the dry density
of the soil should be used. FLAC will compute the saturated density of each element, using the
known values of the density of water, the porosity, and the saturation. The dry unit weight of
soil can be determined by the following equations:

γd = the dry unit weight of soil
Based on Table A.2, a value of void ratio (e) of 0.7 was selected. Based on the known
values of γsat (=120 pcf), e (=0.7), and γw (=62.4 pcf), Gs = 2.57 was obtained by using equation
(A.1). This value was used in equation (A.2) and γd = 94 pcf was obtained, which is equivalent
to 2.93 slug/ft3
.
Based on the selected void ratio (e) of 0.7, the porosity of soil can be determined using
equation (A.4) and n of 0.412 was obtained.

Table A.3 shows the relationship between Standard Penetration Test N-values, (N1)60
versus friction angle (φ). Based on this relationship, the values of 10 blows/ft and 30° were
used for (N1)60 and φ, respectively.
Tables A.4 and A.5 show the typical values of elastic modulus (E) and Poisson’s ratio
(ν) for various types of soil. Based on these tables, the values of 15 MPa (315,000 psf) and 0.3
were selected for E and ν, respectively.
The values of E and ν were then used to calculate the bulk modulus (K) and the shear
modulus (G) using the following equations:

A.1.2 Soft Clay
The typical saturated unit weight (γsat) value for this type of soil is 110 pcf (based on
Table A.1), which is equivalent to density (ρsat) of 3.42 slug/ft3
. Based on Table A.2, a value of
void ratio (e) of 1.1 was selected. By using equation (A.4), porosity (n) of 0.524 was obtained.
Based on the known values of saturated unit weight (γsat) of 110 pcf, void ratio (e) of 1.1, and
unit weight of water (γw) of 62.4 pcf, specific gravity (Gs) of 2.60 was obtained by using
equation (A.2). This value was used in equation (A.3) and dry unit weight (γd) of 77 pcf was
obtained, which is equivalent of 2.40 slug/ft3
.
Table A.8 shows the relationship between SPT (Standard Penetration Test) N-values
versus consistency of clay soil. Based on this relationship, (N1)60 of 4 blows/ft was selected for
soft clay.
Table A.9 shows the typical values of strength properties. Therefore, the values of 10
kPa (210 psf) and 17° were selected for cohesion (c) and friction angle (φ), respectively.
Based on Tables A.4 to A.6, the following values were selected for soft clay:
E = 5 MPa = 105,000 psf, ν = 0.414, and ψ = 0°
The above values were then used to calculate the bulk modulus (K) and the shear
modulus (G) using equations (A.5) and (A.6). The following results were obtained:
K = 204,421 psf
G = 37,118 psf
4. 265
Based on Table A.7, permeability (k) of 10-7
cm/sec. (3.28*10-9
ft/sec.) was selected.
Equation (A.7) results in the value of FLAC permeability of 5.26*10-11
ft3
-sec/slug.
A.1.3 Silt
Based on the Tables A.1 to A.6 and A.8 to A.9, the following values were selected and
used in FLAC analysis:
γsat = 115 pcf ⇔ ρsat = 3.57 slug/ft3
e = 0.9 ⇔ n = 0.474
γd = 85 pcf ⇔ ρd = 2.65 slug/ft3
(N1)60 = 8 blows/ft
c = 3 kPa = 63 psf
φ= 25° ⇔ ν = 0.4
E = 10 MPa = 210,000 psf
ψ = 0°
The bulk modulus (K) and the shear modulus (G) were calculated using equations (A.5)
and (A.6). The following results were obtained:
K = 261,268 psf
G = 76,865 psf
Based on Table A.7, permeability (k) of 10-6
cm/sec. (3.28*10-8
ft/sec.) was selected.
Equation (A.7) results in the value of FLAC permeability of 5.26*10-10
ft3
-sec/slug.
A.1.4 Determination of Parameters Used in Finn Model
As noted in Chapter 5, equations suggested by Byrne (1991) were used in the FLAC
analyses. Based on the selected (N1)60 values the constant C1 and C2 can be computed.

For soft clay, the following values were used:
C1 = 1.54
C2 = 0.26
For silt, the following values were used:
C1 = 0.65
C2 = 0.62
A.2 Aggregate Pier Parameters
As noted previously in Chapter 5, an angle of friction (φ) of 50° was selected for the
aggregate piers. Also selected the use of aggregate pier stiffness of 8 times stiffer than that of
the surrounding soils. Therefore, the value of elastic modulus of 2,520,000 psf and 1,680,000
psf for the aggregate pier were used. These values are eight times stiffer than the elastic
modulus of soil (315,000 psf and 210,000 psf for silty sand and silt, respectively).
Based on equation (5.6), the elastic modulus can be calculated. For silty sand, the elastic
modulus of aggregate pier is:

By using equations (A.5) and (A.6) and Poisson’s ratio (ν) of 0.2, the following values
were obtained:

and
K = 334,199 psf
G = 261,608 psf
Based on Table A.6, dilation angle of 0° was used.
The saturated unit weight of the aggregate pier is 147 pcf (ρsat = 4.57 slug/ft3
) and the
dry unit weight is 136 pcf (ρd = 4.23 slug/ft3
). These values correspond to e = 0.25 (n = 0.2)
and Gs = 2.69.
Based on Table A.7, permeability (k) of 10-1
cm/sec. (3.28*10-3
ft/sec.) was selected,
which corresponds to FLAC permeability of 5.26*10-5
ft3
-sec/slug.
A.3 Water Parameters
As noted previously, for uncoupled flow-mechanical approach, the flow calculation can
be set in flow-only mode (SET flow on, SET mech off), and then in mechanical-only mode
(SET flow off, SET mech on), to bring the model into equilibrium. For the latter, Kw is set to
zero, while for the former, Kw should be adjusted to a
wK by using the equation (4.29).

Once, the system is brought into equilibrium, bulk modulus of water (Kw) of 108

should be adjusted that the value of Rk is ≤ 20 by using equation (4.27). Since this case was
