Aerosol Heat and Mass Transfer in The Regulatory Science of Emerging Tobacco Products

El Hourani, Mario (4/26/2023)

For decades, the tobacco industry has manipulated the sensory characteristics of tobacco products including the degree of harshness experienced at the back of the throat. Commonly referred to as “throat hit”, this harshness ...
The Assessment and Enhancement of Thermal Comfort in the Makased Schools, Beirut

Zakharia, Michel (5/18/2022)

Improving the thermal behavior of old buildings’ external envelope to meet current standards is a subject that every country needs to tackle when talking about eco-efficient building design. In cities, buildings constructed ...
Comparison of the Levels of Particle Bound Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons between Pre and During Economic Crisis in Beirut

Al Hallak, Mohammad (2024-02-05)

The presence of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in urban areas due to human activities poses a significant risk to human health. A comparative study of three representative sites (AUB, BCD, and NSMU) in Beirut ...
Design, Evaluation and Optimization of Concentrated Solar Power-Desalination Hybrid Tri-generation Systems

Klaimi, Rachid (9/13/2022)

Water scarcity and energy security are two global challenges that are of high concern. In order to address the water shortage problem, seawater desalination was found to be a feasible solution that can provide the required ...
Development of a Smart Algorithm for Air Pollution Sources Identification using Physical Dispersion Modeling and Bayesian Inference

AlAawar, Elissar (6/15/2021)

Air pollution plumes are commonly observed in the atmosphere above many cities and residential areas. These plumes may be the result of either a normal operation or an accidental release from certain sources. In both cases, ...
Eddy Detection Using Reanalysis Datasets

Hakla, Omar; Lakkis, Issam; Hoteit, Ibrahim; Abou Jaoude, Dany (2022-09-05)

Oceanic eddies are ubiquitous in oceans and play a major role in several parameters that include ocean energy transfer, nutrients distribution and air-sea interaction. Typically, eddy detection algorithms are based on ...
EULERIAN-LAGRANGIAN MODEL FOR DOWNSCALING WIND FIELDS AND PARTICLES DISPERSION WITH APPLICATION TO BEIRUT CITY

Saleh, Ali (9/22/2020)

The study of pollutant dispersion in urban areas is complex due to its dependency on the atmospheric boundary layer (ABL) flow and the near buildings perturbed flow. Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) models with the RANS ...
Experimental Validation of a Computational Fluid Dynamics Model of The Upper Respiratory Airways Utilizing a Heat Transfer Approach

Sawan, Samer (2024-04-17)

Tobacco smoking is one of the leading causes of death and disease globally. E-CIGS (e-cigarettes) were introduced in 2004 and marketed as a safer alternative. However, there is growing concern that instead of displacing ...
Impact of the Cosmic Magnetic Field on the Formation of the Early Stars in the Universe

Saad, Cynthia (12/20/2022)

The investigation of the formation of the first stars in the Universe, termed Population III (Pop III), has until now largely neglected the impact of the cosmic magnetic field on their formation. Our present work focuses ...
METEOROLOGICAL SIMULATIONS TO INVESTIGATE THE STRATEGIES IN MITIGATING URBAN HEAT ISLAND (UHI) EFFECT IN A NEIGHBORHOOD IN BEIRUT CITY: A MODEL BASED APPROACH

Jaafar, Hasan (9/23/2020)

The Urban heat island (UHI) effect is a threatening event expected to be as alarming as global warming. Given the aforementioned, several mitigation strategies were investigated in order to detect which has the most impact ...
Modeling the Mechanical Response in BCC Metals Under Extreme Thermo-Mechanical Loading: Atomistically Informed Multiscale Dislocation Dynamics Simulations

El Ters, Pascale (7/27/2021)

The mechanical response of materials subjected to extreme thermo-mechanical loading is of supreme importance to satisfy the highly technological needs. In this work, a multiscale model of plasticity that couples three-dimensional ...
Natural Convection in An Open-ended Isothermally-heated Three-dimensional Building Shaft

Ammar, Maram (5/18/2022)

The increased rates of mortality and morbidity in urban areas have been associated with increased levels of pollutant concentration. This study aims at employing natural convection effects to ventilate urban street canyons ...
Numerical and Data Analysis of Methane Leakage through Petroleum Wells

Hodroj, Mohammad (2/10/2023)

Subsurface methane leakage around oil and gas wells contributes to fugitive greenhouse gas emissions and contamination of freshwater aquifers. The leakage can occur through natural or induced permeable pathways or due to ...
ON THE MODELING OF GRAIN FRAGMENTATION IN METALLIC STRUCTURES USING THE CONTINUUM DISLOCATION DYNAMICS APPROACH

Kobaissy, Ali Al-Hadi (2/4/2022)

Predicting the mechanical properties and the microstructural features of metals subjected to severe thermo-plastic deformation processes is of supreme importance in designing novel or enhanced materials. The objective of ...
Stochastic Transport and Identification of Moving Passive Tracer Sources with Application to Marine Traffic in the Mediterranean Sea

Rustom, Alexios (9/23/2020)

Source Reconstruction Problems are widely used for the aim of determining the sources of contaminants and pollutants in the case of deliberate or accidental release scenarios. This involves the inverse problem and inference ...
Towards Resurrecting Grid-Free Three Dimensional Vortex Methods

Salloum, Samer Omar (4/21/2021)

We present expressions for approximating the velocity and vortex stretching vectors induced by a far-field collection of point vortices and we propose a set of recurrence relations to properly evaluate these expressions. ...
XCT Non-Destructive Evaluation of FSW Joints via Predictive Modeling of Hounsfield Units

Baydoun, Ahmad (2024-05-09)

This work employs X-ray computed tomography (XCT), coupled with machine and deep learning techniques to non-destructively evaluate the quality (detecting defects and differentiating of materials) of dissimilar friction ...
