The plinth elevation angle was related to the upstream slope and face slab shape of CFRD, as well dam axis, which very important in design. Based on space vector algorithm, function established consists three-dimensional coordinate key points line, taken unique input variable, then directly obtained. improved method with characteristics high efficiency, simple parameters clear spatial concept, ...

We provide evidence from field experiments that within-coral colony variation in lightlimited electron transport rates through Photosystem II is positively correlated with water flow over the coral surface. We made in situ paired measurements of water flow and photosynthetic electron transport rates (rETR) over the upstream and downstream faces of several coral colonies at Conch Reef, Key Largo...

During construction of concrete faced rockfill dam (CFRD), the extrusion-sidewall will be protruding or deficiency under normal. Before panel construction, local slope cutting should taken for squeezed side wall supplementary filling measures after excavating wall, which affect mechanical deformation panel. According to monitoring data concrete-faced dams some hydro-electric station in Hubei Pr...

In this study, a series of laboratory tests were performed to investigate the effects side ramp slope, crest length, and porous media properties on flow regimes, water-surface profiles, discharge coefficients, energy dissipation in embankment gabion weirs with upstream downstream slopes. 24 physical models solid three different upstream/downstream slopes (90°, 45° 26.5°) created. To complexity ...

Lateral slope deposits along a channel represent an important source of material for initiation and development debris flows/floods that are typically observed in many headwater tributaries. This study found the failure process such deposit reflects combined interaction between external hydrodynamic factors (inflow discharge slope) internal (compactness fine particle content). The erosion compr...

Abstract Weirs are structures that important for measuring flow and controlling water levels. Research has shown the discharge coefficient is not constant depends on crest length, height of weir, upstream head, downstream slopes. In this study, effect these parameters ( C d ) investigated by numerical simulation. The current study present simulation using ANSYS FLUENT software. total number sim...
