Dust storm forecasting through coupling LOTOS-EUROS with localized ensemble Kalman filter

Super dust storms re-occurred over East Asia in 2021 spring and casted great health damages and property losses. It is essential to achieve an accurate dust forecast to reduce the damage for early warning. The forecasting system fundamentally relies on a numerical model which can forecast the full evolution of dust storms. However, large...

基于分段步进式弹塑性格构模型的混凝土破坏过程细观模拟

The classically lattice model assumes the local elements behave elastic brittle, neglecting the ductility of the mortar matrix. This leads to the simulated load⁃displacement response more brittle than the realistic. To solve the aforementioned issue, a piece⁃wise approach was introduced to describe the elastic⁃plastic constitutive relation of...

Calibration and validation of cellular automaton traffic flow model with empirical and experimental data

For traffic flow models, calibration and validation are essential. Cellular automaton (CA) models are a special class of models, describing the movement of vehicles in discretised space and time. However, the previous work on calibration and validation does not discuss CA models systematically. This study calibrates and validates a stochastic...
