To study the influence of impinging height H/D on flow field characteristics oblique submerged jets, numerical calculation an jet was carried out based Wray–Agarwal (W–A) turbulence model. The structure and pressure distribution under various heights (1 ≤ 8) when angle θ = 45° were analyzed. results show that with increase in height, diffusion degree gradually increased velocity decreased reach...

Often simple metrics are used to summarise complex patterns in stream benthic ecology, thus it is important to understand how well these metrics can explain the finer-scale underlying environmental variation often hidden by coarser-scale influences. I sampled 47 relatively pristine streams in the central North Island of New Zealand in 2007 and (1) evaluated the local-scale drivers of macroinver...

Unchanging physicochemical conditions and nutrient sources over long periods of time in cave and karst subsurface habitats, particularly aquifers, can support stable ecosystems, termed autochthonous microbial endokarst communities (AMEC). AMEC existence is unknown for other karst settings, such as epigenic cave streams. Conceptually, AMEC should not form in streams due to faster turnover rates ...

jet impingement heat transfer is an effective and practical approach that is employed in many industrial processes where heating, cooling, or drying is required. details of the heat or mass transfer rate have been investigated both experimentally and numerically and can be found in the published literature. in most of the numerical studies, control-volume approach has been employed to solve the...

The aim of this article is the measurement of the basic characteristic of superhydrophobic surfaces using high speed shadowgraphy. Here we describe the novel patented system for the industrial production of superhydrophobic surfaces. These surfaces were investigated with two optically based measurement methods: impinging drop and inclined wall. The results of the visualization and analysis help...

Streams are infinite sequences over a given data type. A stream specification is a set of equations intended to define a stream. We propose a transformation from such a stream specification to a term rewriting system (TRS) in such a way that termination of the resulting TRS implies that the stream specification is well-defined, that is, admits a unique solution. As a consequence, proving well-d...

We propose a model, called a deliberation structure model, that represents streams of relevant messages in email communication. The deliberation structure model treats e-mail messages that include several topics and uses tree structure, called deliberation trees, that are based on Clark’s contribution trees to represent message structure. Deliberation trees are useful to visualize the message s...

This paper presents a new method to calculate the freshwater target for water using networks with single contaminant. The pinch point is determined by exploiting one of the features of water-pinch-analysis: freshwater is only necessary below the pinch. With the known pinch point, the calculation of the freshwater target becomes very simple, especially for the networks with many streams. The res...
