In this paper, a saltwater intrusion model, in view to study the dynamics of interface between and freshwater coastal aquifer, is established. This dynamic caused by an injection pumping through well located given position. From flow model each phase, we defined appropriate hypothesis obtain our global based only on height interface. The numerical simulation led us effect parameters some empiri...

measuring salinity of water at different depths along six transacts at the mouth of the wetland and along five tributaries connecting the wetland to the sea the extent of caspian sea penetration into anzali wetland was determined. the results demonstrated a depth-dependent salinity gradient extending up to 10 kilometres into the wetland. a pattern of saltwater and freshwater interface is presen...

Freshwater mussels are mollusks-close relatives of clams, oysters, and saltwater mussels. Many species of freshwater mussels can live for 20 to 30 years, and individuals of some species live for more than 100 years. Freshwater mussels have been valued by humans throughout history. They can produce pearls, and their shells can be used to make buttons for clothing or to serve as seedstock for the...

Recently, dielectric elastomer actuators (DEAs) have gathered interest for soft robotics due to their low cost, light weight, large strain, low power consumption, and high energy density. However, developing reliable, compliant electrodes for DEAs remains an ongoing challenge due to issues with fabrication, uniformity of the conductive layer, and mechanical stiffening of the actuators caused by...

A sharp interface numerical model is developed to simulate saltwater intrusion in multilayered coastal aquifer systems. The model takes into account the flow dynamics of salt water and fresh water assuming a sharp interface between the two liquids. In contrast to previous two-fluid flow models which were formulated using the hydraulic heads of fresh water and salt water as the dependent variabl...

Nitrous oxide (N2O) has 265 times greater greenhouse potential than carbon dioxide and its atmospheric concentration has increased by about 20% since industrialization; however, N2O production and emissions from aquatic systems are poorly constrained. To evaluate N2O fluxes associated with meteoric groundwater discharge to coastal zones, we measured N2O concentrations in May and October 2011 fr...
