Secondary Currents Generated due to Spanwise Discontinuity in Wall Roughness (Existence of Secondary Currents and Momentum Transport)

an investigation of the influence of longitudinal channel slope on secondary currents in compound channels using 2 d momentum model

secondary flow investigation could be regarded as an important issue in open channel flow, in spite of its lower quantity compared to the base flow in the water course. it should be given special consideration because of the influence on some hydraulic factors in open channel, specifically in compound channels. in compound channels' due to the difference in the flow velocity of the main ch...

Numerical and Empirical Investigation of Flow Separation Phenomenon around Semi-buried Pipelines due to Steady Currents

In this paper, in order to understand the flow-pipe interaction more clearly, the variations on flow pattern around semi-buried pipelines due to steady current have physically and numerically been investigated. In physical modeling section, the experiments have been carried out in a flume with 10 meter length, 0.3 meter width and 0.5 meter depth using a P.V.C pipe with 6.35 cm in diameter (for ...

Mechanism of secondary currents in open channel flows

This paper describes the conditions for initiation and maintenance of secondary currents in open channel flows. By analyzing the Reynolds equation in the wall-normal and wall-tangent directions, this study reveals that, like other types of vortices, the secondary currents are originated in the near-boundary region, and the magnitude (or strength) of secondary flow is proportional to the lateral...

Reduction of Parasitic Currents in Simulation of Droplet Secondary Breakup with Density Ratio Higher than 60 by InterDyMFoam

Assessment of secondary neutron dose due to dental restorations in head and neck radiation therapy

Introduction: One of scientific concern is increasing of unwanted neutron dose to the patient, in head and neck radiation therapy due to the presence of some isotopes in dental restorations and head of medical linac. The aim of this study is to measure the equivalent dose of thermal and fast neutron due to head of Siemens Primus Linac and a healthy tooth, Amalgam, Ni-Cr alloy a...
