Self‐formed waterfall plunge pools in homogeneous rock

Influence of air entrainment on rock scour development and block stability in plunge pools

Influence of air entrainment on rock scour development and block stability in plunge pools The impingement of high-velocity water jets on plunge pools, such as it occurs downstream of spillways of high-head dams, may cause scour on the rock foundations. The scour process is the result of complex and consecutive physical phenomena. Turbulence plays a major role, especially in the jet development...

Prediction of scour dimension in the Plunge Pools below Outlet Bucket with Artificial intelligence method

Accurate prediction of sediment scour hole dimensions downstream of hydraulic structures, e.g. the outlet bucket, is a complex and not straight forward engineering problem encountered worldwide. Because of the complexities of the study, its comprehensive, simultaneous including water flow,  sediment and applying all of the effective variables involved in scouring it is not easy possible. Dimens...

Understanding Waterfall Plots

Author's disclosures of potential conflict of interest are found at the end of this article. C linical trials in oncology continue to offer hope for tumor control. Such hope intensifies as the rapidly advancing knowledge from molecular biology, genetics, and immunology is more readily applied to targeted therapies. The ability to discern genomic or genetic risks and likelihood of response on a ...
