Abstract:

The effect of a combined system of the bed suction and jet injection as a pier-scour countermeasure on the turbulent flow field is studied in a laboratory flume using an Acoustic Doppler Velocimeter (ADV). The three components of the velocities in the vertical symmetry plane in the equilibrium scour hole in front and rear of the pier under 3-jet injections and bed suction rate Qs/Q0 = 2%located between 0

turbulent characteristics in flow subjected to bed suction and jet injection as a pier-scour countermeasure

the effect of a combined system of the bed suction and jet injection as a pier-scour countermeasure on the turbulent flow field is studied in a laboratory flume using an acoustic doppler velocimeter (adv). the three components of the velocities in the vertical symmetry plane in the equilibrium scour hole in front and rear of the pier under 3-jet injections and bed suction rate qs/q0 = 2%located...

Evolution of a turbulent jet subjected to volumetric heating

The goal of this study is to understand the effect of latent heat release on entrainment in cumulus clouds by employing a laboratory analogue consisting of a volumetrically heated turbulent axisymmetric jet. The jet fluid is volumetrically heated in an offsource manner to simulate condensation heat release in clouds. The experimental setup is similar to Bhat & Narasimha (1996), and the current ...

Predicting Bridge Pier Scour Depth with SVM

Prediction of maximum local scour is necessary for the safety and economical design of the bridges. A number of equations have been developed over the years to predict local scour depth using laboratory data and a few pier equations have also been proposed using field data. Most of these equations are empirical in nature as indicated by the past publications. In this paper attempts have been ma...

تأثیر توأم صفحات مستغرق و طوق در کاهش عمق آبشستگی پایه‌های استوانه‌ای شکل پل‌ها

Submerged vanes are low aspect ratio flow-training structures mounted vertically on the river bed at an angle to the prevailing flow. The aim of application of vane is to generate a secondary circulation in the main flow, designed to modify the near-bed flow pattern and thus redistribute flow and sediment transport within the channel cross section. Collar is a flat sheet with low thickness fixe...

Numerical study of turbulent forced convection jet flow of nanofluid in a converging sinusoidal channel

Research in convective heat transfer using suspensions of nanometer-sized solid particles in base liquids started only over the past decade. Recent investigations on nanofluid, as such suspensions are often called, indicate that the suspended nanoparticles remarkably change the transport properties and heat transfer characteristics of the suspension. Bending walls can also improve heat transfer...

Turbulent oscillating channel flow subjected to a free-surface stress

The channel flow subjected to a wind stress at the free surface and an oscillating pressure gradient is investigated using large-eddy simulations. The orientation of the surface stress is parallel with the oscillating pressure gradient and a purely pulsating mean flow develops. The Reynolds number is typically Re!=10 and the Keulegan–Carpenter number—the ratio between the oscillation period and...
