A GPU-Implemented Lattice Boltzmann Model for Large Eddy Simulation of Turbulent Flows in and around Forest Shelterbelts

Using porous wind barriers for the microclimate modification of agricultural lands, urban areas, and surrounding roads is a ubiquitous practice.This study establishes a new method for numerically modeling the turbulent flow in and around forest shelterbelts using an advanced multiple-relaxation-time lattice Boltzmann model (MRTLBM).A detailed descr

Household Wastes as Larval Habitats of Dengue Vectors: Comparison between Urban and Rural Areas of Kolkata, India.

Porcelain and plastic materials constitute bulk of household wastes.Owing to resistibility and slow degradability that accounts for higher residence time, these materials qualify as potential hazardous wastes.Retention of water permits these wastes to form a congenial biotope for the breeding of different vector mosquitoes.Thus porcelain and plasti
