چکیده مقاله:

As a result of the limitations in the application of Darcy Law (V=ki) to linear-laminar flow regimes through porous media and due to the fact that in coarse alluviums, the Reynolds number may exceed its critical value, the so-called Laplas equation cannot be used for precise analyses of coarse granular foundations. A more general relationship is, therefore, required for such cases. However, a common relationship between piezometric gradient "i" and the approach velocity "v" within porous media shown as i=mVn leads to major difficulties in undertaking complicated tests to determine the values of m and n. It is shown that by combining the above-mentioned relationship with the continuity equation, a differential equation may be obtained to give piezometric head and a potential function Φ, which in turn, leads to the uplift force distributions and the seepage quantities through porous media. To overcome difficulties associated with m and n estimations in the model and as a result of fulfilling an extensive research programme, a fresh and reliable procedure has been developed and explained to assess m and n by means of a simple stepped pump-out test. The practical applicability of the method for a given confined aquifer is also examined. Findings indicates that the proposed procedure a) makes the use of the differential equation for turbulent flow in porous media possible, and b) provides means to determine the nonlinear equation parameters (m&n) at an acceptable precision. The computed values of the parameters are also submitted.&#10&#10Keywords: Turbulent flow, Rock fill, Alluvium foundation, Reynolds number, Aquifer &#10

On the Performance of Different Empirical Loss Equations for Flow Through Coarse Porous Media (RESEARCH NOTE)

In this paper, the empirical equations that estimate hydraulic parameters for non-linear flow through coarse porous media are evaluated using a series of independent data collected in the laboratory. In this regard, three different relatively uniform soils ranging in size from 8.5 to 27.6 mm have been selected and three random samples drawn from each material. The physical characteristics such ...

Efficient Determination of Nonlinear Burnett Coefficients

In previous papers [Phys. Rev. A 41, 4501 (1990), Phys. Rev. E 18, 3178 (1993)], simple equilibrium expressions were obtained for nonlinear Burnett coefficients. A preliminary calculation of a 32 particle Lennard-Jones fluid was presented in the previous paper. Now, sufficient resources have become available to address the question of whether nonlinear Burnett coefficients are finite for soft s...
