Local scour around a cylindrical pier in a channel with an erodible bed or natural bed is a common problems in bridge or pile supported structure. The highly unsteady complex flow field around a circular pier produces scour hole mainly for the presence of vortices. The main mechanism that drives the formation and evolution of the scour hole around bridge pier is horse shoe vortex motion. In the...

in many industrial equipment such as boilers and heat exchangers, the cylindrical tubes are exposed to the gas- liquid two phase flow. for any immersed body in flow field vortex shedding is created with a frequency that may be constant or variable, according to conditions such as flow rates, geometry of body, and etc. the failure will happen in the equipment, when this frequency is close to one...

Bridges are one the most important and useful river structure and as a key of Communication ways are very significant. Local Scouring is one the most reason of Instability of bridges and finally its failure annually immense human and financial cost to the government imposes. So far, several studies on ways to control and reduce scouring around piers of the bridges has been done among them, the ...

this paper is a computational study of the behavior of aerodynamics  characteristics of an airfoil with blunt trailing edge and  studies the effects aerodynamic performance caused by modifications made to the trailing edge. blunt trailing edge airfoils are of interest in the engineering of large wind turbine blades because they allow for a strong structure with a high aerodynamic lift to struct...

This paper investigates vortex shedding processes occurring at the end of a stack of parallel plates, due to an oscillating flow induced by an acoustic standing wave within an acoustic resonator. Here, Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) is used to quantify the vortex shedding processes within an acoustic cycle phase-by-phase, in particular during the “ejection” of the fluid out of the stack. Stan...

A rectangular rod is placed in a flow field flowing parallel to a flat plate. Effect of chord-thickness ratio of rectangular rod on developing vortex shedding downstream to the rod is studied. Then, for each one of the aspect ratios, the distance of the rod from the neighboring flat plate is reduced until the rod sticks to the flat plate. In each case, the effect of the flat plate boundary laye...

Abstract The study of scouring around bridge piers is very significant and plays a important role in the safe economical design piers. term process by which bed particles periphery pier get eroded removed over certain depth resulting formation scour hole This paper presents detailed investigation local six different shapes namely rectangular, circular, chamfered, joukowsky, oblong, sharp-nosed ...

Despite many reports on the shedding of Giardia parasites by scouring calves, the role of Giardia as a cause of calf diarrhea is still controversial. To elucidate the role of Giardia duodenalis in calf scours, diagnostic samples from 189 scouring calves were tested by different assays during a 1-year-study period. Giardia antigens were detected in 22/189 scouring calves by a fecal-based enzyme-...

In some case of laboratory and industrial applications, various kind of measurement instruments must be placed in a conduit, in which multiphase fluid flows. Vortex shedding for any immersed body in flow field is created with a frequency, which according to flow conditions such as flow rates, geometry of body, etc. may be constant or variable. Failure may happen, if this frequency is close to o...

Local scouring around bridge piers is a natural phenomenon caused by the erosive process of flowing stream on alluvial beds. The 3D flow field around bridge piers interacting with the bed materials increases complexity of local scour process. The local scour depth develops in accelerated flows and if it is not predicted correctly, the bottom level of local scour hole will exceed the original le...
