Rotating convection is analysed numerically in a cylinder of aspect ratio one, for Prandtl number about 7. Traditionally, the problem has been studied within the Boussinesq approximation with density variation only incorporated in the gravitational buoyancy term and not in the centrifugal buoyancy term. In that limit, the governing equations admit a trivial conduction solution. However, the cen...

The behaviour of the wake Strouhal number for flow past a cylinder close to a free surface at both low and moderate Froude numbers is investigated numerically. For the low Froude number case (i.e., gravity-dominated), the results obtained are similar to those for flow past a cylinder close to an adjacent no-slip boundary. As the distance between the wall and the cylinder is reduced, the Strouha...

Hydraulic jump on adverse stilling basin is an unstable phenomenon which causes some complexities in controlling of the   jump. This paper considers the stability of free hydraulic jump on adverse stilling basins from a theoretical point of view. A minimum value of upstream Froude number is needed to produce the free hydraulic jump on adverse stilling basins which was presented by a theoretical...

Sediment Bypass Tunnels (SBTs) are deviant channels that convey the current containing sediments from the upstream of the reservoir to the downstream of the dam. In this research, by applying submerged plates on the entrance of a 90-degree diversion channel for sediment transport, the effect of hydraulic parameters of flow and changes in the angle of plates on sediment transport and deviated fl...

The Froude number (a ratio of inertial to gravitational forces) predicts the occurrence of dynamic similarity in legged animals over a wide range of sizes and velocities for both walking and running gaits at Earth gravity. This is puzzling because the Froude number ignores elastic forces that are crucial for understanding running gaits. We used simulated reduced gravity as a tool for exploring ...

The transition between the slope and basin floor is typically marked by a break, in some cases causing channels to terminate turbidity currents undergo loss of confinement. It thus essential understand how these breaks losses confinement influence hydrodynamic evolution impact their depositional variability within natural scale channel mouth settings. Flume experiments, utilizing Shields scalin...

abstract one of the most frequently encountered cases of rapid varied flow is the hydraulic jump. it occurs when a supercritical open channel flow changes into sub critical flow. in the present research, the experimental study of the hydraulic jump on seven sinusoidal corrugated beds with different wave steepness. the wave steepness of sinusoidal corrugated beds is in the range of 0.1667 to 0.7...
