  • Analysis of pollutant dispersion in a street canyon of Astana 
    Akhatova, A.; Kassymov, A.; Kazmaganbetova, M.; Rojas-Solorzano, L. (Nazarbayev University, 2014)
    Due to the steadily rising number of vehicles, atmospheric air pollution has become one of the evident problems in main cities around the world. Astana, the capital city of Kazakhstan, is not an exception with it current ...
  • CFD study of an oil catch can 
    Abilgaziyev, A.; Nogerbek, N.; Rojas-Solorzano, L. (Nazarbayev University, 2014)
    Oil catch cans are devices used in some internal combustion engines to prevent oil droplets from entering into the exhaust manifold of the engine. The main purpose of this paper is to study the design of a typical oil ...
  • Comparison between landfill gas and waste incineration for power generation in Astana 
    Inglezakis, V.; Rojas-Solorzano, L.; Kim, J.R.; Kystauova, A.; Shorakyzy, G. (Nazarbayev University, 2013)
    The population of Astana, Kazakhstan, generates more than 1,100 tons of municipal solid waste daily and they are deposited mostly without preliminary separation or other treatment in open dumps.Rapid growth of Astana ...

    Rojas-Solorzano, L.; Saliev, T.; Adair, D.; Finol, E. (Nazarbayev University, 2013)
    Cardiovascular Disease (CVD) leads to the major number of deaths in the USA and Europe (European Heart Network, 2008; US National Center for Health Statistics, 2012). In Kazakhstan, CVD represents also the first cause of ...
  • Modeling and optimazation of energetic system in a hybrid smart house 
    Kaishubayeva, N.; Kazmaganbetova, M.; Mukhanov, N.; Rojas-Solorzano, L.; Ko, M. W. L.; Khakimova, A. (Nazarbayev University, 2014)
    The project objectives are to model the energetic configuration of a Smart House in a numerical platform (e.g., HOMER Energy™ software), to validate the numerical predictions of technical performance with experimental ...
  • Numerical modelling of compound channel flow 
    Filonovich, M. S.; Leal, J. B.; Rojas-Solorzano, L. (Nazarbayev University, 2014)
    Most natural rivers have compound cross-section. Compound channel flow is characterized by complicated three-dimensional flow structures. These structures are called secondary flows and have been classified into two ...
