Building Information Modeling (BIM) is a highly promising technique for achieving digitalization in the construction industry, widely used in modern construction projects for digitally representing facilities. Nevertheless, retains limitations in terms of representing construction operations. The digital twin concept may potentially overcome these limitations and initiate advanced digital transformation in the construction industry as it has revolutionized the product lifecycle management in the manufacturing industry. This research provides a critical review of applying digital twin in the construction industry. Altogether, 140 papers from related journals and databases were reviewed. The digital aspect of twinning consists of BIM and simulation modeling. These two techniques have been used to create virtual or digital representations of actual buildings and real-world construction processes. However, integrating and applying BIM and simulation modeling according to the digital twin concept remains to be fully studied. Comprehensive evaluations of BIM, simulation modeling, and digital twin will provide a well-defined framework for this research, to identify direction and potential for digital twin in the construction industry, thereby progressing to the next level of digitalization and improvement in construction management practice.","PeriodicalId":32885,"journal":{"name":"AlKhawarizmi Engineering Journal","volume":"242 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75322078","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The propos is a new design and development of an advanced separator for oil production in Thailand on a prototype scale to order to avoid deposition of sand contaminated include oil production. The novel separator was designed by installing a series of impellers along the horizontal bottom of the separator. The system was successfully implemented on the laboratory scale. A computational fluid dynamics (CFDs) model is employed to investigate the 3D hydrodynamics and flow behavior inside the separator tank modified with impellers. The CFD simulation was operated for 300 min. It could fundamentally demonstrate the flow phenomena of the crude fluids that the sand flowing out from the separator through the water outlet part depends on the accumulation of sand packing bed near the open channel of the outlet and including the effect of impeller rotation. It also shows the wave pattern of the sand outlet and the movement of the impeller did not disturb the efficiency of oil-water phase separation. In the laboratory experiments, the optimum conditions for sand separation in the water outlet part were investigated in terms of impeller sizes, the rotational speed of impellers, and the effect of duration times. The impeller sizes were compared between 3 inches and 5 inches in diameter. The results show that 5 inch-impeller is the optimum size for preventing the sand packing in this system. It was found that 200 rpm gave the most powerful speed of rotation to remove sand to the open channel. From all over the results of the CFD simulation and lab experiment, it could be concluded that the separator system with a strong rotation of impellers leads to effectively prevent sand sedimentation in the separator.","PeriodicalId":32885,"journal":{"name":"AlKhawarizmi Engineering Journal","volume":"22 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81419330","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The assessment of flood dynamics is essential in supporting the nation and all stakeholders for the better flood management and adaptation. Climate change and hydropower dam operation pose threat to water resources in the Lower Mekong Delta. Cambodia is vulnerable to the flood impact due to its low adaptive capacity. Historically, flood has big impact on Cambodian society, economics and environment. This research was conducted by using the 2D HEC-RAS Modeling Application to study the flood dynamics under the influence of climate change, hydropower operation and irrigation expansion. The analysis is based on the observed flow and water level of 5 years from 2015 to 2019 and digital elevation model (6 m x6 m). The indices indicated satisfactory performance for the simulation model with the value of NSE between 0.78 and 0.97 and R2 between 0.80 and 0.96. The impact of climate change, hydropower operation and irrigation expansion, on the Cambodian Mekong floodplain area in forms of the flood inundation characteristics using the above well-configured hydraulic model framework. The results show that the flood extent increases around 74% in dry season and decrease around 20% in rainy season. Comparing to the baseline, the results of the scenario study suggest that the study area is likely to experience larger floodplain area in dry season (October to April), and flood extent in rainy season is lesser (May to October). The simulated results will provide important hydraulic information to respond to the future change of flood extent. The increase of water level in the dry season will provide water availability in the water supply sector and agriculture.","PeriodicalId":32885,"journal":{"name":"AlKhawarizmi Engineering Journal","volume":"119 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-10-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84806292","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
