the effects of changing roughness on the flow structure in the bends

flow in natural river bends is a complex and turbulent phenomenon which affects the scour and sedimentations and causes an irregular bed topography on the bed. for the reason, the flow hydralics and the parameters which affect the flow to be studied and understand. in this study the effect of bed and wall roughness using the software fluent discussed in a sharp 90-degree flume bend with 40.3cm ...

construction and validation of the translation teacher competency test and the scale of students’ perceptions of translation teachers

the major purpose of this study was to develop the translation teacher competency test (ttct) and examine its construct and predictive validity. the present study was conducted in two phases: a qualitative phase as well as a quantitative phase. in the first phase of the study, the author attempted to find out the major areas of competency required for an academic translation teacher. the second...

Topographic asymmetry of the South Atlantic from global models of mantle flow and lithospheric stretching

The methodology for building deforming regions into global plate reconstructions builds on the continuously closing plates framework described by Gurnis et al. (2012). Plates are defined within the open-source software GPlates (Boyden et al., 2011) by building polygons from a series of lines defining plate boundaries. The lines can move independently, so that the geometry of plate polygons cont...

Application of Global Route-Planning Algorithms with Geodesy

Global Route-Planning Algorithms (GRPA) are required to compute paths between several points located on Earth's surface. A geodesic algorithm is employed as an auxiliary tool, increasing the precision of distance calculations. This work presents a novel simulator for three GRPA – A*, LPA* and D*Lite – implemented to solve the shortest path problem for points located at different cities. The per...
