WSU Tri-Cities Speaker Series - Fariba Alamdari, Ph.D.
2018-11-15 18:00 - 20:00 | East Auditorium, 2710 Crimson Way, Richland, WA, 99354
“If I don’t believe in my diversity, why would anyone else?”
In a world in which many are raised to believe that our workplaces are responsible for raising us up, recognizing our value, and promoting us accordingly, we are missing a key step in diversity and inclusion efforts. When we are fully accountable for our successes, when we “own” our value, and express our capabilities, the “system” will advance and support us so we can do the work we are most called to do. If we wait for inclusion to come to us, we may wait a lifetime.
This is Dr. Fariba Alamdari’s truth. It is her life experience, and her results speak for themselves.

CE Seminar Series - Evaluating Water Security in Jordan using a multi-agent hydroeconomic model with Dr. Jim Yoon - PNNL

CE SEMINAR SERIES

Evaluating Water Security in Jordan using
a Multi-Agent Hydroeconomic Model
Abstract
Jordan currently faces a water crisis of unprecedented severity, dealing with the combined impacts
of extremely limited water availability, destabilizing regional conflict, and adverse climate change
impacts. We developed a coupled human-natural system multi-agent model for the long-term
evaluation of water security in Jordan, the product of a multi-year international research effort
carried out by an interdisciplinary research team spanning the fields of hydrology, water resources
engineering, political science, geography, and economics. The modular multi-agent model is used
to evaluate interventions for enhancing Jordan’s water security, integrating biophysical modules that
simulate natural and engineered systems with human modules that represent decision-making at both
institutional and consumer levels. The model is run through the end of the 21st century to evaluate
water supply, demand, and institutional interventions over a wide range of plausible climate and
socioeconomic scenarios. Model results paint an alarming outlook of Jordan’s future water security
with nearly 60 percent of the country’s low-income household population experiencing water use
below 40 liters per capita per day. Surface water supplies decrease by over 50 percent relative to
historical conditions and groundwater wellfields near the main urban centers are depleted by over 50
percent. Although climate and socioeconomic change will place extreme stress on the system under
all conditions evaluated, model results also indicate that an aggressive combination of supply and
demand management interventions can substantially reduce Jordan’s water insecurity through the
end of the century.

MME Seminar Series - Vortex-Breakdown and Wall-Separation States in Swirling Flows in Finite-Length Pipes
2019-02-22 12:10 - 13:00 | BSEL 102
Abstract
The dynamics of inviscid-limit, incompressible and axisymmetric swirling flows in finite-length, long circular pipes
with varying geometries is studied through global analysis techniques and numerical simulations. The inlet flow is
described by fixed-in-time profiles of the circumferential and axial velocity together with a fixed azimuthal vorticity,
while the outlet flow is characterized by a state with zero radial velocity. A numerical algorithm based on the upwind
finite-difference method for the evolution of the circulation and azimuthal vorticity together with a Poisson solver for
the solution of the stream function in terms of the azimuthal vorticity is developed. The convergence of computed
results with mesh refinement is demonstrated. Moreover, a mathematical analysis that is based on the Squire-Long
equation (SLE) is formulated to identify steady-state solutions of the problem with special conditions to describe
states with separation zones. These solutions include the base columnar flow state, a decelerated flow along the
centerline, an accelerated flow along the centerline, a vortex-breakdown state and a wall-separation state. The
problem is then reduced to the columnar (axially independent) SLE, with centerline and wall conditions for the
solution of the outlet flow stream function. The numerical simulations realize the various flow states and show
correlation between time-asymptotic states and steady states predicted according to the SLE and the columnar
SLE problems. The simulations also shed light on the stability of the various steady states. Results show that pipe
divergence promotes the appearance of breakdown states at lower inlet swirl levels while pipe contraction delays
the appearance of vortex breakdown to higher swirl levels and promotes formation of wall-separation states. The
influence of various inlet swirling flow profiles on the manifold of steady states in a straight, finite-length pipe and
on flow dynamics is also investigated. Depending on the inlet profiles, flows may first exhibit vortex breakdown while
others wall-separation states.

MME Seminar Series: The Dynamics and Thermodynamics of Gas Dynamic Shock Waves
2019-03-01 12:10 - 13:00 | BSEL 102
This seminar presents a computational investigation of shock-wave structures through a novel
implicit high-order Galerkin finite element Runge–Kutta algorithm. The algorithm induces no spatial
discretization artificial diffusion, relies on cubic and higher-degree elements for an accurate resolution
of the steep shock gradients, uses an implicit time integration for swift convergence to steady states,
and employs original Neumann-type outlet boundary conditions in the form of generalized Rankine
Hugoniot conditions on normal stress and balance of heat flux and deviatoric-stress work per unit time.
Through an innovative approach, the formulation also calculates the shock extent, which is an additional
unknown, and employs the single non dimensional (0, 1) computational domain for the determination
of any shock structure. The algorithm rapidly generates steady shock structures, in at most 150 time
steps for any upstream Mach number considered in this study, in the range 1.05 < M < 10.0. The finite
element discretization is shown to be asymptotically convergent under progressive grid refinements, in
respect of both the H0 and H1 error norms, with an H0 accuracy order as high as 6 and reduction of the
discretization error to the round-off-error threshold of 1 x10-9 with just 420 computational cells and
5th-degree elements. For any upstream Mach number, the computational results are shown to satisfy the
Rankine–Hugoniot conditions, an established requirement for solution reliability.

National TRIO Day
2019-03-06 11:00 - 14:00 | Floyd Atrium, 2710 University Dr, Richland, WA, 99354, United States
In honor of National TRIO Day, TRIO Student Support Services is hosting a celebration event next Wednesday March 6, 2019. Leading up to and at the event we will be collecting non-perishable food items to donate to the WSUTC Cougar Cupboard. In addition, our students have been signing up for local volunteer opportunities such as tutoring support at the Family Learning Center, providing workshops at the Kids Engineering Day at Jeffereson Elementary, and offering mentorship for the Dream It, Be It conference.

Overview of National TRIO Day:

On February 24, 1986, a congressional resolution (H. Con. Res. 278) declared that Saturday, February 28, 1986, should be designated as “National TRIO Day” to commemorate the annual achievements of the Federal TRIO programs in communities across the country.
Every year since then, our community has reserved the fourth Saturday in February as National TRIO Day — an opportunity to focus the nation’s “attention on the needs of disadvantaged young people and adults aspiring to improve their lives if they are to become contributing citizens of the country, and to the talent which will be wasted if that investment is not made.”
For many programs, National TRIO Day has become a tradition as it allows students who benefit from the TRIO programs and to give back to their local communities through acts of service.

Please join us next week, and bring a non-perishable food item, in the Atrium beginning at 11:00 am as TRIO Student Support Services celebrates National TRIO Day. There will be guest speakers from PNNL, activities hosted by our students, and light appetizers.
