the estimation of velocity distribution plays a major role in the hydrodynamics of vegetated streams or rivers of extensive natural floodplains. the velocity profile in vegetated channels can be divided into three zones: uniform zone which is close to bed with uniform velocity distribution, logarithmic zone which involves the main channel with no vegetive cover and the transition zone that is a...

prediction the river flow discharge values are important in the surface water resources management. find an appropriate model to accurately predictionof this parameter is one of the most important ways to simulation and prediction. in this study three anfis, svm and gp models were evaluated and compared to modeling the monthly flow discharge of nazloochi river in tapik hydrometric station that ...

abstract for investigating the effect of bed form in alluvial channels on the amount of bed load transport, a set of experiments was carried out in a tilting flume under unsteady flow conditions (hydrograph). the produced hydrographs were in triangular form with a maximum discharge of 30 to 45 lit/s/m. three size of sediment particles were used with equal to 1.5, 2.1 and 3.0mm, clear water with...

This paper reports improved performance of discharge plasma in filtered engine exhaust treatment. Our paper deals about the removal of NOX emissions from the diesel exhaust by electric discharge plasma. For the treatment of diesel exhaust a new type of reactor referred to as cross-flow dielectric barrier discharge reactor has been used, where the gas flow is perpendicular to the corona electrod...

This paper is about the analysis 0f the liquid discharge by falling film within a distillation tube. Specifically about some flow rates that can be used in this process, when we talk about film ́s discharge and maintenance. This aim of this paper is to study through simulations in CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) what influence the feeding flow rate has on the film ́s formation, its stability a...

Abstract: A detailed numerical study of turbulent flow through a micro-orifice is presented in this work. The flow becomes turbulent due to the orifice at the considered Reynolds numbers (∼104). The obtained flow rates are in good agreement with the experimental measurements. The discharge coefficient and the pressure loss are presented for two input pressures. The laminar stress and the genera...

abstract rockfill dams are usually used for affecting the flood and reducing the peak discharge. the materials used in these dams will usually make the flow turbulent, therefore darcy's law can not be used for this kind of dams and the equations based on the non-darcy flow must be applied. non-darcy flow equations are showed in two general ways including: and .one of the main parameters for flo...

different construction materials with different roughness used to make circular weirs highly affect surface roughness and, in turn, flow hydraulics passing over these structures.  in the present research, numerous experiments under different hydraulic conditions were performed on a physical model to study the effects of roughness on flow hydraulics over a circular weir. the flow hydraulics incl...
