measuring salinity of water at different depths along six transacts at the mouth of the wetland and along five tributaries connecting the wetland to the sea the extent of caspian sea penetration into anzali wetland was determined. the results demonstrated a depth-dependent salinity gradient extending up to 10 kilometres into the wetland. a pattern of saltwater and freshwater interface is presen...

we performed molecular dynamics simulations using the coarse-grained model to study the freezing behavior of pure water and 14% water-salt mixture in a wide range of temperatures for a very long time around 50 nanoseconds. for the salty water, an interface in nanoscale was used. for both systems, the freezing behavior of water molecules was studied using some qualities such as density, total en...

We investigated the effects of hygrothermal aging on the tension–tension fatigue behavior of unidirectional (UD) glass/polydicyclopentadiene (pDCPD) composites. Samples were immersed in deionized (DI) water and salt water, and glass/epoxy composites were used as a benchmark for comparison. Composites of pDCPD showed less water uptake and superior fatigue performance compared to similarly aged e...

In this paper we propose a scaling argument to quantify the role of added electrolyte salt in affecting the stability and the morphology of preformed surface nanobubbles on hydrophobic substrates like the water-OTS-silicon or the water-HOPG interfaces. The added salt controls the electric double layer formation as well as affects the zeta (ζ) potential at the air-water and solid-water interface...

In coastal areas groundwater quality may be degraded by intrusion of salt sea water into freshwater aquifers. The salinity of the groundwater changes its physical properties: an increase in salinity increases both the density and viscosity of the groundwater. These density differences are the primary driving force that allows salt water to move into the coastal aquifer, forming a salt water “we...

Molecular-dynamics simulations were performed to model the effect of added salt ions on the liquid-liquid interface in a partially miscible system. Simulations of the interface between saturated phases of a model 1-hexanol+water system show a bilayer structure of 1-hexanol molecules at the interface with -OH heads of the first layer directed into the water phase and the opposite orientation for...
