SUMMARY:C & S Colloquium: Dr. Sankar Arumugam
DESCRIPTION:Title: Design and Adaptation under a changing world – Opportunities for Synthesis and Convergence Research\n\nAbstract: One of the critical concerns in using climate change projections for design and adaptation is in the uncertainty and variability in the projections depending on the emission scenarios.  It has been shown that this uncertainty in the projections  is at its minimum  over the near-term (10-30 years)\, which is a critical time scale for infrastructure planning. In this sabbatical talk\, I present a methodology for revising USGS flood frequency analysis – a federally mandated procedure for designing spillways and bridges – using near-term climate change projections. Working with the USGS scientists on a federal highway project also highlighted how flood information is viewed and interpreted across disciplines\, thereby necessitating the need for synthesis for flood frequency analyses under various thresholds of change.  Such synthesis also needs to promote a convergence approach on quantifying the potential flood risk from the societal perspective. Towards this\, I will present potential opportunities for convergence research within NSF and other agencies and  will also discuss ongoing initiatives on urban flooding from the NSF funded convergence accelerator (C-ACCEL) project.\n\nBio: Dr. Sankar Arumugam is a Professor and University Faculty Scholar in the Department of Civil\, Construction\, and Environmental engineering at NCSU. Sankar spent the sabbatical at the USGS headquarters in Reston (VA) and also at the USGS John Wesley Powell Center for Synthesis and Analyses at Fort Collins (CO).  He also collaborated with the UCAR scientists on performing a review of methodologies on sub-seasonal to seasonal streamflow forecasting at Boulder\, CO.

SUMMARY:CE 2050 Faculty Seminar: Dr. Abhinav Gupta
DESCRIPTION:Title: Role of Civil Engineering in improving sustainability\, resiliency\, and growth of nuclear energy\n\n\nAbstract: Civil Engineers play a significant role in the sustainability and safety of existing nuclear power plants as well as in the design and construction of advanced reactors. Structural safety assessments are key to ensuring resiliency of not only the concrete containment and other buildings but also the mechanical and electrical systems. Engineers continue to work on improving the resiliency of these large complex systems against natural hazards such as earthquakes\, hurricanes\, and floods. In addition\, the plant systems exhibit fairly significant thermal and vibration fatigue\, flow assisted corrosion\, and ageing related degradation during their lifetimes. All of these aspects require innovative solutions based on the concepts of structural mechanics\, innovative materials\, geotechnical engineering\, fluid-structure interactions\, computational fluid dynamics\, non-destructive testing\, health monitoring\, etc. In recent decades\, nuclear industry has led the development of risk-informed design and decision making approaches for operational as well as licensing decisions. This requires appropriate characterization of uncertainties in our understanding of physical phenomenon and in our models that are used to represent them. Some of the most recent research has focused on developing risk-informed methodologies for verification and validation of advanced simulation tools and on developing Artificial Intelligence (AI) based solutions to assist with the design and construction of advanced reactors which are truly being designed as cyber-physical systems. Nuclear industry has also struggled with managing the cost and schedules of constructing new large-sized plants throughout the developed countries. Recent research aims to address this aspect through an integrated virtual design and construction platform that uses the power of digital and thermal imaging. Presently\, more than a quarter of North Carolina’s electricity comes from nuclear and at national level this largest source of carbon-free electricity generation contributes about 20% to our consumption.

SUMMARY:C&S Colloquium: Amir Mazrooei and Sudharshana Mukhopadhy
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Amir Mazrooei (post-doctoral associate\, CCEE) and Ms. Sudharshana Mukhopadhy (PhD Candidate\, CCEE) will discuss software tools developed by CCEE for hydroclimatological geospatial analyses.  Refreshments will be provided. Details follow. \n  \nGeospatial Analyses using GrassGIS: A Global Assessment Of ET fluxes Impacted By Anthropogenic Land Cover Changes \nDr. Amir Mazrooei   \nGrass GIS is a fully functional software that can handle many different geo-spatial analyses tasks such as vector processing\, image and raster analyses\, and database creation. Unlike ESRI’s ArcGIS\, Grass is open source and can be compiled and executed in Linux environments which makes it much easier in terms of bash scripting\, and much faster to conduct large-scale analyses. In this C&S seminar\, as part of my ongoing research about the human influence on natural hydroclimatic conditions\, I would present how urbanization affects evapotranspiration (ET) flux rates in a global scale\, resulting in urban heat islands. We would see a demo of the quantitative analysis of remotely sensed data through Grass GIS\, along with the post-processing and visualization of the results using R. \nA geo-processing tool for co-locating the dependency of critical infrastructure with hydrologic information network \nMs. Sudharshana Mukhopadhy  \n \nUnderstanding the interactions between the natural environment and physical infrastructure is critical for sustainable development. Most water infrastructure such as reservoirs\, dykes\, wastewater treatment plants depend on river conditions and other infrastructure (e.g.\, power system)\, but the nature of the river network introduce a cascading interdependency between the regional riverine system and their infrastructure. We have begun to address this by developing an R package\, River-Infrastructure Cascade (RIC) and demonstrating it for referencing the reservoirs with respect to streamgage network over the entire Coterminous United States (CONUS). I will discuss our systematic approach of combining multiple layers of topographic information of infrastructures with high resolution National Hydrographic Dataset (NHDPlusv2) over the Colorado River Basin (CRB)\, and I will illustrate our methods of handling different conditions along the river network – such as river junctions (e.g. divergences\, convergences or both)\, boundary of watershed\, isolated network and coastlines or end of a stream reach.

SUMMARY:C & S Colloquium: Jorge Pesantez
DESCRIPTION:A Multi-Phase Procedure to Design District Metered Areas for Water Distribution Networks \nJorge Pesantez\, PhD Candidate \nAbstract: Dividing a water distribution network into subsystems can improve the efficiency and ease of achieving management goals. Subsystems or District Metered Areas (DMAs) are isolated  control zones with a defined number of entrances and exits. This research presents an automatic approach based on graph theory\, optimization\, and a heuristic methodology to design DMAs for water systems by minimizing the coefficient of variation of demand similarity among DMAs. The Multi-Phase Procedure to Design DMAs (MPPDMA) satisfies constraints specified to limit the number of entrances per DMA\, meet maximum and minimum pressure at non-zero demand nodes\, and maintain water levels of the tanks over extended periods of simulation. MPPDMA is applied to four water networks. Results demonstrate that MPPDMA can improve demand similarity among DMAs.

SUMMARY:Joint CCEE & MEAS Seminar: Christophe Darnault\, Clemson University
DESCRIPTION:Flow and Transport in Porous Media: Applications in Environment and Energy \n \nDR. CHRISTOPHE DARNAULT \nAssistant Professor\, Department of Environmental\nEngineering and Earth Sciences\, Clemson University\nAssociate Editor\, Journal of Hydrology \nABSTRACT\nFlow and transport in porous media with applications in environment and energy are complex phenomena that encompass a\nwide range of disciplines\, including physics\, chemistry\, biology\, earth sciences\, hydrology\, soil and water engineering\, and \nreservoir engineering. Understanding flow and contaminants transport processes in porous media is critical for the mitigation\nof their impacts\, the development of effective remediation procedures\, the exploitation and management of subsurface\nresources — aquifer systems and petroleum reservoirs\, and the protection of the environment and public health. The release of\nemerging contaminants\, such as engineered nanomaterials\, into the environment; the prevalence of microbial pathogens due\nto wildlife and agricultural activities in rural and agricultural watersheds; and the discharge of radionuclide wastes during\nstorage\, handling\, and disposal of nuclear materials in groundwater systems are inevitable. To study the fate and transport of\nthese contaminants in the vadose zone\, we have investigated their mobility under different hydrodynamic and biogeochemical\nconditions found in the natural environment. We have demonstrated the critical role that preferential flow (macropore flow\nand fingered flow); transient in water content and velocity; transient in solution chemistry\, gas-water interfaces; solid\ninterfaces; system heterogeneities; plants and microbes; and their interactions and feedback have in the flow\, transport\, and\nretention of contaminants in the vadose zone. Mobilization of crude oil from geologic formations is essential for the\nexploitation of petroleum reservoirs and the oil recovery process. We have explored the ability of nanoparticles to improve the\nefficiency of the chemical-enhanced oil recovery process (EOR) that uses surfactant flooding by examining interfacial and\nrheological properties of multiphase systems and sandstone-crude oil-nanofluid systems. To elucidate the individual\ncontribution of the mechanisms and natural parameters affecting the flow phenomena\, transport\, and retention of these\ncontaminants\, as well as to quantify and visualize them\, we have developed monitoring methods and tools using physical\,\nchemical\, microbiological\, molecular\, and non-intrusive technologies. The results of our research will contribute to the\ndevelopment and validation of flow\, fate\, and transport models of contaminants from pore scale to watershed scale for\nmanagement and protection of groundwater resources\, petroleum reservoirs\, public health\, ecosystem sustainability\, risk\nassessment\, and life-cycle analysis. \nBIOGRAPHY\nChristophe Darnault is Assistant Professor at the Department of Environmental Engineering and Earth Sciences at Clemson\nUniversity. He serves as Associate Editor for Frontiers in Environmental Science – Soil Processes\, and served as Associate Editor\nfor the Journal of Hydrology (Elsevier) (2011-2017). He is one of the Clemson’s representatives for the Consortium of\nUniversities for the Advancement of Hydrologic Science\, Inc. He has research and teaching experience at Rensselaer Polytechnic\nInstitute and University of Illinois at Chicago. He was also a visiting scholar at Yale University.

SUMMARY:C & S Colloquium: Kumar Mahinthakumar
DESCRIPTION:Sabbatical Experience at the University of Cape Town – Water distribution leakage detection and other research \n \nI will discuss my experience at the University of Cape Town (UCT) during my sabbatical from January to July 2017 as a US Fulbright scholar. In collaboration with the water distribution team at UCT\, previously developed methods at NCSU for leakage detection in water distribution systems were extended to include more realistic leakage models as well as model and data errors. The methods were validated for a district metering area in the city of Cape Town. I also worked with the urban water management group at UCT in examining groundwater pumping schemes for extracting infiltrated stormwater for a study area in Cape Town.

SUMMARY:EERI Lecture on Power Plant Seismic Design
DESCRIPTION:Indonesia is located along the Ring of Fire and has a lengthy history of earthquakes\, tsunamis\, and volcano eruptions. Seismic design of a power plant in Indonesia is an interesting challenge due to the large masses of equipment that are supported in the steel structure. This presentation provides an overview of the project\, description of the seismic force resisting system\, and the challenges faced during structural steel design. \nNils Fuessle is a structural engineer in the Power division at Black & Veatch. He has structural design experience in various areas of the Power division including air quality retrofit work\, combined cycle plants\, coal plants\, and international projects. Nils started working at the Black & Veatch headquarters in Kansas City in 2005 and then moved to the regional Cary office in 2013. His current project is a power plant in a high seismic region of Indonesia where Black & Veatch is providing engineering and construction. Nils Fuessle graduated in 2005 from Bradley University with a BS in Civil Engineering.
