abstract bottom intake is one of the most appropriate systems for diverting discharge in steep rivers. bottom intake with porous media is a new system of diverting discharge which can be replaced by bottom rack intakes. to investigate the hydraulic flow characteristics on diverted discharge of this intake, an experimental model was designed in which the inflow, diverted discharge and remained f...

abstract bottom rack intake is one of the most popular structures used for diverting water in mountain region. corrosion and rotten problems of bottom racks inspire the introduction of a new system of bottom intake in which a porous media is replaced by the bottom rack. obviously, clogging and reduction of diverted discharge are the most important problems in this new system, too. in this paper...

abstract bottom rack intake is one of the most appropriate structures for diverting water in steep rivers. the problems of corrosion, deformity and clogging of the bottom racks in long term, inspires a new system of bottom intake in which a filled trench of porous media is replaced by the bottom racks. diversion of a specified amount of discharge through the porous media when void space in the ...

scattering of an incoming wave train by a discontinuity at the upper surface of the ocean over a uniform porous bottom of finite depth is considered here in the framework of linearized water wave theory. by employing residue calculus method, the reflection and transmission coefficient are obtained. these coefficients are computed numerically for different values of the porosity parameter g and ...

The problem of scattering of capillary waves by a semi-infinite dock with a porous undulatory sea bed is attempted using perturbation technique. Two different eigen function expansions of the velocity potential function on the two sides of the surface discont inuity are constructed. An integral expression for first order reflection coefficient is arrived at involving the bottom shape function. ...

a numerical investigation of forced convection in a channel with hot solid block inside a square porous block mounted on a bottom wall was carried out. the lattice boltzmann method was applied for numerical simulations. the fluid flow in the porous media was simulated by brinkman-forchheimer model. the effects of parameters such as porosity and thermal conductivity ratio over flow pattern and t...

In this paper we study the propagation of acoustic waves in two dimensional oceans with porous-elastic seabeds. First we outline our results developed for three dimensional ocean with rigid bottom and a depth dependent index of refraction. Then we extend this problem to an ocean bed consisting of porous, elastic sediment, lying over an elastic rock substrata.

Electrodeposition of platinum and silver into hydrophobic and hydrophilic microporous silicon layers was investigated using chemically-modified microporous silicon electrodes. Hydrophobic microporous silicon enhanced the electrodeposition of platinum in the porous layer. Meanwhile hydrophilic one showed that platinum was hardly deposited within the porous layer and a filmy growth of platinum on...

in this work, three-dimensional turbulent forced convection flow through a b-type section pipe, which porous material inserted at the bottom wall, is investigated numerically. the b-type section pipe are used in cooling systems, such as cars’ radiators. the main purpose of this research is to enhance heat transfer and to reduce the scales of such systems. the governing equations are formulated ...
