Environmental Hydraulics (EH) is the scientific study of environmental water flows and their related transport transformation processes affecting quality natural systems, such as rivers, lakes, aquifers, on our planet Earth [...]

center pivot irrigation system is used as a modern irrigation method in different parts of iran. unfortunately due to lack of proper design and hydraulic shortcomings of the system in several agricultural lands in iran, the efficiency of the center pivot irrigation system is low or unacceptable. low system efficiency results in non-uniformity of water distribution along the lateral and on the c...

This book provides a concise and up-to-date summary of the essential thermo-hydraulic analyses and design principles of nuclear reactors for electricity generation. Beginning with the basic nuclear physics, it leads through technical and quantitative analyses to descriptions of both the normal operation of the various modern nuclear reactor designs and the analyses of the possible departures fr...

Trees transport water from roots to crown—a height that can exceed 100 m. The physics of tree hydraulics can be conveyed with simple fluid dynamics based upon the Hagen–Poiseuille equation and Murray’s law. Here the conduit structure is modelled as conical pipes and as branching pipes. The force required to lift sap is generated mostly by transpiration or capillary action; we investigate the ef...

This report presents the software engineering effort under way at ANL towards a comprehensive integrated computational framework (SHARP) for high fidelity simulations of sodium cooled fast reactors. The primary objective of this framework is to provide accurate and flexible analysis tools to nuclear reactor designers by simulating multiphysics phenomena happening in complex reactor geometries. ...
