turbulence structure on the gas side of a wavy stratified flow was experimentally investigated in a near horizontal 18.7 cm (h) 10 cm (w) 5.5m (l) rectangular duct.by applying the variable interval time averaging (vita) technique to the hot wire anemometer measurements frequency of occurrence of turbulent events were detected near the air-water interface. experimental results showed that freque...

For a quantitative assessment of debris flow risk, it is essential to consider not only the hazardous process itself but also to perform an analysis of its consequences. This should include the estimation of the expected monetary losses as the product of the hazard with a given magnitude and the vulnerability of the elements exposed. A quantifiable integrated approach of both hazard and vulnera...

in this paper, the problem of turbulent forced convection flow of water- alumina nanofluid in a uniformly heated pipe has been thoroughly investigated. in numerical study, single and two-phase models have been used. in single-phase modeling of nanofluid, thermal and flow properties of nanofluid have been considered to be dependent on temperature and volume fraction. effects of volume fraction a...

in this paper, a non-isothermal two-phase flow in the cathode gas diffusion layer (gdl) of pem fuel cell is modeled. the governing equations including energy, mass and momentum conservation equations are solved by numerical methods. also, the optimal values of the effective parameters such as the electrodes porosity, gas diffusion layer (gdl) thickness and inlet relative humidity are calculated...

flow regime in dam's bottom outlet is divided in pressurized flow and free surface flow by the gate located for discharge control. down stream tunnel involves high velocity multi component air –water flow studied by mathematical model. in this research work, we used finite volume mixture two phase flow model. because of high reynolds number, standard two equations k-e turbulence model was ...

[1] The middle of a hillslope hollow in the Oregon Coast Range failed and mobilized as a debris flow during heavy rainfall in November 1996. Automated pressure transducers recorded high spatial variability of pore water pressure within the area that mobilized as a debris flow, which initiated where local upward flow from bedrock developed into overlying colluvium. Postfailure observations of th...

This paper aims to present a useful numerical method to simulate the propagation and deposition of debris flow across the three dimensional complex terrain. A depth-averaged two-dimensional numerical model is developed, in which the debris and water mixture is assumed to be continuous, incompressible, unsteady flow. The model is based on the continuity equations and Navier-Stokes equations. Ras...

Debris flows triggered by glacier lake outbursts have repeatedly caused disasters in various high-mountain regions of the world. Accelerated change of glacial and periglacial environments due to atmospheric warming and increased anthropogenic development in most of these areas raise the need for an adequate hazard assessment and corresponding modelling. The purpose of this paper is to provide a...

Debris flows and hillslope debris endanger people infrastructures. Technical protection measures are important elements in addition to spatial planning (adapted use of space like hazard maps) organizational (warning systems, emergency plan, evacuation). Additional other rigid flexible flow nets were developed 2008, 2010 respectively. Such barriers consist an interception surface netting spanned...

Debris flow hazard and risk assessments are critical tools in mitigating planning for these events. Existing debris can provide a rapid view of the likelihood flows recently burned watersheds along stream segments within watershed. Furthermore, volumes be predicted segments. Advances modeling remote-sensing data add further value to assessments. Here, modeled more detailed understanding rainfal...
