in this research, the numerical method of computational fluid dynamics and dimensionless parameter of froude number have been applied to determine the flow regime over ogee spillways.froude number is a dimensionless dynamic parameter calculated using the square root of the ratio of inertia force and gravitational force. considering that the study of the regimes of flow over hydraulic structures...

Due to an increase in demand of petroleum products which are transported by vessels or exported by pipelines, oil spill management becomes a controversial issue in coastal environment safety as well as making serious financial problems. After spilling oil in the water body, oil spreads as a thin layer on the water surface. Currents, waves and wind are the main causes of oil slick transport. The...

We study numerically the spatial properties of relaxation clusters in a two dimensional sandpile automaton with dynamic rules depending stochastically on a parameter p, which models the eeects of static friction. In the limiting cases p = 1 and p = 0 the model reduces to the critical height model and critical slope model, respectively. At p = p c , a continuous phase transition occurs to the st...

In this paper we investigate a nonlinear evolution model described by the Rosenau-KdV equation. We propose a three-level average implicit finite difference scheme for its numerical solutions and prove that this scheme is stable and convergent in the order of O(τ2 + h2). Furthermore we show the existence and uniqueness of numerical solutions. Comparing the numerical results with other methods in...

an analytical nonlinear stress-strain model and a microscopic damage index for confined and unconfined concretes together with a macroscopic damage index for reinforced concrete (rc) structures under cyclic loading are proposed. in order to eliminate the problem of scale effect, an adjustable finite element computer program was generated to simulate rc structures subjected to cyclic loading. by...

in this study, gas evolution in a vertical electrochemical cell is investigated numerically with a modified two-fluid model. the mathematical model involves solution of separate transport equation for the gas and liquid phases with an allowance to inter-phase transfer of mass and momentum. the governing equations are discreted via the finite volume technique and then are solved by the simple al...
