Hydrodynamic Assessment of a Proposed FSRU Development in the Visakhapatnam Outer Harbour
Abstract: This study presents a detailed hydrodynamic assessment of a proposed Floating Storage andRegasification Unit (FSRU) in the Visakhapatnam Outer Harbour. A depth-integrated, two- dimensional hydrodynamic model was developed using MIKE-21 Flexible Mesh (FM) to quantify theinfluence of the terminal layout, dredged pocket configuration, and vessel presence on tidal circulation, freshet-driven flows, and extreme-event conditions. Baseline simulations were performed using existing bathymetry and operational geometries, followed by proposed configurations that included …

Hydrodynamic and Sedimentation Modelling for Capacity Optimization of OR1, OR2, and Fertilizer Berths at Visakhapatnam Port, India
Abstract: This study presents comprehensive hydrodynamic and sediment transport modeling undertaken to assess the impact of proposed deepening and development at the Western Arm of the Visakhapatnam Inner Harbor, India, encompassing OR1, OR2, and Fertilizer berths. The work, carried out by the Central Water and Power Research Station (CWPRS) for the Visakhapatnam Port, utilized the MIKE 21 Flexible Mesh (FM) finite-volume model to simulate hydrodynamic and siltation conditions under existing and …

Evaluation of Physico-Chemical Parameters of Drilling Fluid and Its Effects on Water Quality Discharged in (Okoroagu River) in Etche LGA of Rivers State
Abstract: The study evaluated the surface water quality of Okoroagu River, Niger Delta of Nigeria, in order to determine the water quality index. Water samples were collected at five sampling points of the Okoroagu river. The results revealed that the Physicochemical and heavy metals parameters exceeded the NSDWQ and WHO recommended permissible limits except for TDS, pH, EC, Zinc, Chromium, Nickel and Manganese whicht were within the acceptable limit. The water …

Comparative Analysis of Sustainable Materials in Road Construction: A Review
Abstract: The immediate need for sustainable infrastructure has driven research into new materials in road construction with the goal of reducing environmental degradation and enhancing resource efficiency. This review is a comparative analysis of four innovative technologies involving industrial and natural waste products: recycled aggregates from construction and demolition (C&D) waste, feldspar powder from lithium mining, stabilized dam sediments using eucalyptus ash, and calcium carbide residue (CCR) blended with dredged sludge. …
