Spreading of Effluent Discharges from Two Adjacent Outfalls on a Sloping Seabed in Spring-Neap Tidal Waters

Anton Purnama, Ahmed Al-Kasbi, Easwaran Balakrishnan · Sultan Qaboos University Journal for Science · 2025 · 10.53539/2414-536x.1406

… s. When two or more outfalls along a coastline are discharging, the long-term impacts are interdependent. Analytical solutions of two-dimensional advection-diffusion equations with a two-point source in a spring-neap oscillating tidal current on a sloping seabed are presented to study the far-field merging and interact …

Determination of Potential Profile In Planar Electronic Structures Using A Semi-Analytical Technique

Hadj Bourdoucen, Mokrane Dehmas, El-Bachir Yallaoui · The Journal of Engineering Research · 2010 · 10.24200/tjer.vol7iss1pp62-69

In this paper, a semi-analytical technique known as the Method of Lines (MoL) with uniform and non-uniform discretization schemes is developed. The aim is to determine static potential profile in planar electronic structures. Even though this method has been known for some time, there has been reported work on its appl …
