hydrograph analysis is a complex problem in a variety of water resources investigations and its estimate is critical in the assessment of low flow characteristics of river for use in water supply, water management and pollution assessment. the paper describes different methods of base flow separation based recession analysis from daily river flow records and distinguishes the most suitable meth...

commonly used environmental flow evaluation techniques range in complexity. some requires stream flow records alone, and some accounts for the habitat requirements of individual species life-stages and physical characteristics of the stream. hydrological based methods for environmental flow assessment are the first step in planning for environmental allocation in developing countries. for deter...

A digital filtering algorithm for continuous base flow separation is compared to physically based simulations of base flow. It is shown that the digital filter gives comparable results to model simulations in terms of the multiyear base flow index when a filter coefficient is used that replicates the watershed-specific time delay of model simulations. This way, the application of the heuristic ...

Aerodynamic drag is an important factor in vehicles fuel consumption. Pressure drag which is the main component of total drag is a result of boundary layer separation from vehicle surface. Flow control methods are applied to avoid or at least delay separation. Depending upon whether these methods consume energy to control the flow or not, they are called active or passive control methods. In th...

This paper studies the effects of viscous loss, flow separation and base pressure for ducted turbine designs using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulation. Analytical model coefficients for inlet and diffuser efficiency and base pressure coefficient parameterize these effects and have been identified from CFD results. General trends are: the inlet efficiency is nearly unity for the simula...
