The numerical simulation of three-dimensional dam break flows is discussed. A non-hydrostatic numerical model for free-surface flows is considered, which is based on the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations coupled with a volume-of-fluid approach. The numerical results obtained for a variety of benchmark problems show the validity of the numerical approach, in comparison with other numerical ...

A limited seismic investigation of Ball Mountain Dam, an earthen dam near Jamaica, Vermont, was conducted using multiple seismic methods including multi-channel analysis of surface waves (MASW), refraction tomography, and vertical seismic profiling (VSP). The refraction and MASW data were efficiently collected in one survey using a towed land streamer containing vertical-displacement geophones ...

Metallic nanoparticles can exhibit very large optical extinction in the visible spectrum due to localized surface plasmon resonance. Spherical plasmonic nanoparticles have been the subject of numerous studies in recent years due to the fact that the scattering response of spheres can be analytically evaluated using Mie theory. However a major disadvantage of metallic spherical nanoparticles is ...

Diatoms samples in Zayandeh Rood Dam Lake were taken in four stations from surface, 0.5 and 3 m depths of water in three replicate by Nansen sampler. Additional samples were taken from the surface with plankton net. Diatoms samples fixed with 4% formaldehyde and were concentrated and identified using microscope at 400 x. Salinity, NO3, PO4 and SO4 were measured using standard methods (APHA). In...

dam spillways are the structures that lead rightly and safely the outflow downstream, so that the dam integrity can be guaranteed. many accidents with dams have been caused by an inadequate spillway design or insufficient capacity. to accurately respond the hydraulic spillways, designers use physical modeling for designing this kind of structures. the scale effect in the spillway modeling, as a...

T he last tooth in the dental arch frequently requires treatment of dental caries. Using the rubber dam, dentists encounter difficulty in preparing the distoproximal box because the bow of the clamp interferes with the dental handpiece. This problem has been partly ameliorated by the clamp with a long distal extension. However, in some instances, the extension impinges on the anterior border of...

Surface-Piercing Propellers (SPPs) have been widely used in high speed craft due to some desirable features such as high efficiency, omission of resistance of equipment attached to the propeller and proper functioning of cavitation. Unlike the submerged propellers, theoretical methods have no significant application on simulation of SPPsbecause of problems related to modeling of these propeller...
