Clustering Process and Interfacial Area Analysis in a Large-size Dropshaft
نویسندگان
چکیده
Dropshafts are commonly used in sewers and stormwater channels as energy dissipator systems. Since recent effort has been devoted to characterize dropshaft hydraulics and air-water flow properties, and the present paper develops an analysis of the bubble clustering process using new experimental data collected in a large-size facility. The results highlight some significant patterns in clusters production. Finally, interfacial areas for mass-transfer were measured.

Bubble clustering in a large-size dropshaft. Comparative analysis of different cluster criteria
The study of clustering processes is fundamentally significant in hydraulic engineering to comprehend the interactions between turbulence and particles. Previous studies on bubble clustering were carried out in plunging jets, hydraulic jumps and dropshafts. The present paper focuses on the bubble clustering process in a large-size dropshaft, and three criteria for cluster identification were ap...
متن کاملInterparticle arrival time analysis of bubble distributions in a dropshaft and hydraulic jump
The analysis of bubble clustering in air-water flows may provide some measure of the bubble-turbulence interactions. A cluster of bubbles is as a group of two or more bubbles, with a distinct separation from other bubbles. This paper compares the results of a clustering study in a dropshaft and in a hydraulic jump to point out differences/similarities between those complex turbulent flows. The ...
متن کاملA partition-based algorithm for clustering large-scale software systems
Clustering techniques are used to extract the structure of software for understanding, maintaining, and refactoring. In the literature, most of the proposed approaches for software clustering are divided into hierarchical algorithms and search-based techniques. In the former, clustering is a process of merging (splitting) similar (non-similar) clusters. These techniques suffered from the drawba...
متن کاملAn experimental study of Roman dropshaft hydraulics Une etude experimentale de l’hydraulique des puits de rupture romains
In Roman aqueducts, series of vertical dropshafts were used to dissipate the kinetic energy of the flow : i.e., the dropshaft cascades. A re-analysis of Roman dropshaft hydraulics is conducted with physical model tests. Three basic flow patterns are observed. The results demonstrate that the vertical dropshafts could be very efficient energy dissipators and re-oxygenation structures, under appr...
