Hydropower has grown to play an important role in power systems including increasing clean and low-carbon energies, the effect of electric loads should be basically evaluated for reliable operation these systems. For hydraulic–mechanical–electrical system hydropower station, state equation model stability evaluation was derived with typical load models elastic pipe flow, after experimental conf...

The present study was designed to analyze quantitatively the effects of a wide range of endothelin-1 levels on renal hemodynamics and renin release in the canine nonfiltering kidney, including their effects on glomerular hydraulic pressure. Intrarenal infusion of endothelin-1 produced dose-dependent reductions in renal blood flow, but it did not affect glomerular hydraulic pressure until the in...

This paper focuses on the implementation, validation and exploitation of a vertical dropshaft flow operation using the commercial VOF-based Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) code, FLOW-3D ® . Using the experimental data of Chanson (2002), the package was used to simulate the flow patterns in a rectangular dropshaft with plunge-flow pattern. Both k−ε and k−ε RNG turbulence closures were tested ...

Aquifer drainage was numerically simulated by a coupled, unsaturated-saturated flow equation. The effect of the vadose zone on aquifer parameter predictions of classical hydraulic theory was investigated. Saturated-zone hydraulic theory was shown to be fairly robust in estimating the saturated hydraulic conductivity but less so in estimating drainable porosity, mainly because of the much tighte...

Analytical solutions for non-steady flow are an important aspect of mathematical modeling in all fields of computational science. An analytical solution provides an exact solution for a specific (simplified) test case, which then can be used to test and verify numerical solutions. Within soil physics, there has been a multitude of analytical solutions that model transient flow through onedimens...

Electro-hydraulic proportional control valves are widely applied for motion control in the electro-hydraulic fluid power system. Normally, a sliding spool is used in the proportional control valve to control the flow direction and flow rate passing through the valve, as a result, the meterin and meter-out orifices are mechanically connected [1]. The sliding spool makes the system robust and eas...

According to the results of studies steady operation modes electric pumping units Ukrainian oil stations, have been identified main reasons efficiency decrease their performance during operation. It is determined that normative documents regulating efficient pipelines Ukraine need be improved. The assessment energy potential unit on example pump НМ-3600-230 with synchronous drive СТД-2500-2 car...

Hydraulic Energy dissipators are devices to protect downstream areas of basin from erosion by reducing the velocity of flow up to an acceptable limit. The stilling basins are transition structures fabricated to dissipate excess energy confined by flow with high velocity at the outlet of conduit or tunnel so that the flow beyond the basin does not threaten the firmness of bed and banks of downst...
