rheological characteristics of al2o3, cuo and tio2 nano particles were investigated in oil asthe base fluid at 1 and 2 wt.%. constitutive relations for non-newtonian fluid were discussedbased on the power-law model. measured viscosities of each nanofluid were used to evaluatethe power-law and consistency index. results indicated that the nanofluid viscosity decreasedby increasing the concentrat...

Stream power is a widely used parameter to investigate, engineer, and manage river systems. The varied uses of stream power are increasing as it becomes easier to derive stream power using remotely sensed data coupled with Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and improved computational power and technology. This document was created to provide clarity to researchers and practitioners using stre...

the objective of this study was to diagnose integrative ecological health of an urban stream,which is located in the asian temperate region. the research approach was primarily based on the index ofbiological integrity (ibi) using fish assemblage and a qualitative habitat evaluation index (qhei). and these indexes were compared with long-term conventional chemical dataset during 1996-2005. for ...

in this paper, river regime equations through developing of unit stream power equation and based on data of sistan and karaj rivers were derived. at the first step, methods and out-comes of former researchers are classified. on the next step, based on dimensional analysis, unit stream power as a function of river flow parameters including suspended sediment load and specific gravity of particle...

On the basis of stream power, the phenomena including regime channel establishment and river meandering can be studied. So, previous researchers have suggested and developed the stream power theory and believed that stream power minimization affects these phenomena. In this paper, the stream power theory and a criterion for meandering river modeling will be studied. Then the conclusion of case ...

An erosion hazard index methodology (EHIM) was developed for assessing stream erosion. The index of stream erosion is designed as a management tool. Assessing stream erosion involves consideration of a range of aspects of streams and a value judgment about a desirable state. The assessment of the erosion indicators of streams was based on a state-wide assessment of physical stream condition. A ...
