Experimental Study on Unsteady Air Flows over Dune

Numerical Investigation on Contaminant Dispersion from a Source over the Blocks in Steady and Unsteady Flows

This paper deals with numerical study of semi-finite incompressible flow of air over two blocks with different heights in the presence of a condensing-source, dispensing- contaminant in the flow, in both steady and unsteady states. The numerical solution of governing PDE equations are constructed by a finite-volume method applied on structured grid arrangement. The effects of air flow velocity,...

Unsteady air–water flow measurements in sudden open channel flows

Measurements of air–water flow properties are reasonably simple in steady flows, but not so in unsteady flows. Some studies investigated periodic flows in which instantaneous data were averaged over several cycles. During the present work, new unsteady air–water flow measurements were performed in sudden open channel flow surges. Unsteady air–water flow measurements were performed in the wave f...

Air–water and momentum exchanges in unsteady surging waters: An experimental study

Flood waves resulting from dam breaks and flash floods have been responsible for numerous losses. In the present study, sudden flood releases were investigated down a large flume with a succession of abrupt drops. A new experimental technique was developed to obtain instantaneous void fractions, bubble count rates and velocities using arrays of conductivity probes. The results showed the surge ...
