Transfer mechanism of bed load being unsteady.

Impulse Framework for Unsteady Flows Reveals Superdiffusive Bed Load Transport

Sediment transport is an intrinsically stochastic process, and measurement of bed load in the environment is further complicated by the unsteady nature of river flooding. Here we present a methodology for analyzing sediment tracer data with unsteady forcing. We define a dimensionless impulse by integrating the cumulative excess shear velocity for the duration of measurement, normalized by grain...

Unsteady-State Modeling of the Fluidized Bed Polyethylene Reactor

Energy transfer mechanism in a vibrating fluidized bed

The mechanism of vibration energy transfer in a vibrating fluidized bed (VFB) is reported in this paper. A series of sensors was employed to simultaneously detect pressure wave propagation signals at different positions at various heights in the fluidized bed. The mechanism of vibration energy transfer in an VFB is found by wave propagation. The pressure wave was produced from a vibrating base ...

Effect of bolt rib spacing on load transfer mechanism

Rock bolting has firmly used as the coal mine roof reinforcement in underground coal mine. The bolting effect of fully grouted rebar bolt is closely related to the bolt surface profile. This paper provides an experimental study to confirm that bolt rib internal length has great influence on bolting effect. Pull-out tests were conducted using rebar bolt with different rib spacings of 12, 24, 36 ...

Origin of Hysteresis in Bed Form Response to Unsteady Flows

Field and laboratory studies indicate that changes in riverbed morphology often lag changes in water discharge. This lagged response produces hysteresis in the relationship between water discharge and bed form geometry. To understand these phenomena, we performed flume experiments to observe the response of a sand bed to step increases and decreases in water discharge. For an abrupt rise in dis...
