A Study on the Delineation of Flushing Sections and Simulation Method to Verify Appropriate Flushing Velocity for Applying Flushing

Model study reservoir flushing

Sediment flushing of reservoirs is an operational technique, whereby previously accumulated sediments in the reservoirs are hydraulically removed by accelerated flow when the bottom desiltingoutlets of the dam are opened. In this research, the process of sediment flushing is simulated by a three dimensional numerical model in which sediment and flow interaction are reflected in the reservoirs. ...

FLUshing in the bathroom

There are effective vaccines against multiple extracellular bacterial pathogens, many of which contain surface antigens or toxoids of potent secreted exotoxins. But despite successful preclinical studies and multiple human trials using Staphylococcus aureus surface antigens as vaccine candidates, none have protected humans against S. aureus infections. In 2007, the CDC published that S. aureus ...

Flushing out the diagnosis.

A 30-year-old man presented with a 4-h history of severe headache, vomiting, diarrhoea and epigastric pain. 1 week previously, he had undergone a left hip arthroscopy in another hospital. He had no other medical history and his only medication was naproxen for post-operative pain. His blood pressure was 70mmHg systolic, pulse rate 130 bpm, respiratory rate 24 bpm and temperature was 38.38C. Phy...

One dimensional simulation of flushing sediment through reservoirs

Control of sedimentation in reservoirs of dams is considered to be one of the most important issues in exploitation of dams and increasing their useful life. Reservoirs act as traps for sediments and prevent transport of sediments to the river. The deposited sediments will decrease the capacity of the reservoirs so that they cannot be in use any more. Various methods are discussed in this study...
