abstract study of turbidity current hydrodynamics plays an important role in increasing the economical life of dams though reduction in sediment accumulation. in the present experimental study, the effect of entrance densimetric froude number of turbidity current in sub and super critical conditions (fr =0.6-3.5) have been tested through effect of channel slope and change related to opening hei...

hydroponic experiments were performed to exam the dynamic change of endogenous proline in rice seedlings exposed to potassium chromate chromium (vi) or chromium nitrate chromium (iii). although accumulation of both chromium species in rice seedlings was obvious, more chromium was detected in plant tissues of rice seedlings exposed to chromium (iii) than those in chromium (vi), majority being in...

Selecting the flow accumulation threshold (FAT) plays a central role in extracting drainage networks from Digital Elevation Models (DEMs). This work presents MR-AP (Multiple Regression and Adaptive Power) method for choosing suitable FAT when DEMs. employs 36 sample sub-basins Hubei (China) province. Firstly, topography, normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI), water storage change are us...

Sludge management in waste stabilization ponds (WSPs) is essential for safeguarding the system performance. Sludge accumulation patterns in WSPs are strongly influenced by the pond hydrodynamics. CFD modeling was applied to study the relation between velocity profiles and sludge deposition during 10 years of operation of the Ucubamba WSP in Cuenca (Ecuador). One tracer experiment was performed ...

In this work we deal with the perimeter flow control problem of bi-modal urban networks by use of a three-dimensional Macroscopic Fundamental Diagram (3D-MFD). The 3D-MFD relates the accumulation of cars and buses and the outflow (or circulating flow) in a bi-modal traffic network. We assume that the impact of each mode on the traffic flow in the network is different, i.e. each bus can not be c...

In 23 patients with reflex sympathetic dystrophy (RSD) of the hand, scintigraphy with indium-111 labeled human non-specific polyclonal immunoglobulin G (In-111-IgG) was performed to investigate whether inflammatory characteristics are present in RSD. Both blood flow and accumulation over 48 h were assessed. Nineteen patients had increased flow to the affected hand, and 3 had decreased flow. One...

A three dimensional transient model fully coupling the two phase flow, species transport, heat transport, and electrochemical processes is developed to investigate the liquid water formation and transport in a polymer electrolyte fuel cell (PEFC). This model is based on the multiphase mixture (M2) formulation with a complete treatment of two phase transport throughout the PEFC, including gas ch...

We present 1 and 100MHz ground-based radar data from the onset region of Rutford Ice Stream, West Antarctica, which indicate the form and internal structure of isochrones. In the flowparallel lines, modelled isochrone patterns reproduce the gross pattern of the imaged near-surface layers, assuming steady-state flow velocity from GPS records and the current accumulation rate for the last 200 yea...
