Jökulhlaups: A reassessment of floodwater flow through glaciers

New thinking on water flow through glaciers

Flow and Fluctuations of Glaciers

Floodwater challenges

When Hurricane Katrina swept into Louisiana and Mississippi, it took more than a thousand lives, displaced more than a million people, and exposed an incompetent government response plan. But that was apparently not enough bad news for some folks to report. It was time to turn to one of our era’s favorite bogeymen: toxic sludge. “The dank and putrid floodwaters choking this oncegracious city ar...

Purification of Floodwater by Electrolysis

An adequate supply of pure water is absolutely essential to human existence. During floods, water is available in adequate quantity, but the quality is often not suitable for drinking or cooking purposes. The goal of the study was to develop an easier, cheaper and faster technique of water purification. Oxygen ions are well known for their high reactivity. An attempt has been made to use oxygen...

Mathematical modelling of Sisko fluid flow through a stenosed ‎artery

In the present study, the nonlinear model of non-Newtonian blood flow in cosine-shape stenosed elastic artery is numerically examined. The model is carried out for axisymmetric, two-dimensional and fully developed blood flow. The vessel wall is assumed to be have time-dependent radius that is important factor for study of blood flow. The cosine-shape stenosis convert to rigid artery by using a ...
