Using lateral intake is a method of floodwater diverting. In arid and semi-arid areas, floodwatercontains a large amount of sediment that will be carried in to the intakes and it causes a reduction inchannel conveyance. Sediment is almost transported into the intake and it is settled in the upstreamside of lateral channel. Sedimentation in this zone reduces the conveyance of lateral channel and...

Multiple barriers are commonly installed along predicted geophysical flow paths to intercept large flow volumes. The main criterion for multiple-barrier design is volume retained. The velocity of the incoming (far-field) undisturbed flow is also sometimes used, although this neglects the influence of other obstacles on the flow characteristics. This study investigates the influence of upstream ...

Visualization of the website clickstream data has been a pivotal process as it aids in defining the user preferences. It includes the processes of gathering, investigating and reporting about the web pages that are being viewed by the users. Clickstream visualization is primarily employed by organizations which focuses on gaining the user preferences and improve their products or services towar...

Many marine animals track odor plumes to their source. Although studies of plume-tracking behavior have been performed in unidirectional flow, benthic animals such as crustaceans live in coastal habitats characterized by waves. We compared signal encounters by odor-plume-tracking stomatopods (mantis shrimp) in wave-affected and unidirectional flow in a flume. Stomatopods are small enough that w...

The effects of seagrass bed geometry on wave attenuation and suspended sediment transport were investigated using a modified Nearshore Community Model (NearCoM). The model was enhanced to account for cohesive sediment erosion and deposition, sediment transport, combined wave and current shear stresses, and seagrass effects on drag. Expressions for seagrass drag as a function of seagrass shoot d...

The paper presents the results of a series of experiments conducted on physical models of Quarter-circle breakwater (QBW) in a two dimensional monochromatic wave flume. The purpose of the experiments was to evaluate the reflection coefficient Kr of QBW models of different radii (R) for different submergence ratios (d/hc), where d is the depth of water and hc is the height of the breakwater cres...
