In a hydraulic jump, the turbulent flow region between the upstream supercritical flow and downstream subcritical flow is called the jump roller. The turbulence development in the jump roller leads to substantial energy dissipation as well as free-surface fluctuations, oscillations of jump position, air entrainment and unstationary velocity field. The time scales of these motions cover a broad ...

dispersivity (?) and effective transport porosity (?eff) are input parameters in equilibrium convection dispersion equation (cde). normally these parameters are obtained from breakthrough curves by inverse method. however, obtaining breakthrough curves in the field is not often possible in practice. the objective of this study was to estimate ? and feff from soil hydraulic data. for this purpos...

The Olmos Formation (upper Campanian), with over 60 angiosperm leaf morphotypes, is Mexico's richest Cretaceous flora. Paleoclimate leaf physiognomy estimates indicate that the Olmos paleoforest grew under wet and warm conditions, similar to those present in modern tropical rainforests. Leaf surface area, tree size and climate reconstructions suggest that this was a highly productive system. Ef...

The work presented includes a review of the state art porous concrete. Its purpose is to evaluate potential use concrete in constructions where level surface runoff justifies it. A literature here has been necessary parameters special consideration have defined dosage permeable mixtures. study definition terms its main components: cement, coarse aggregate, water, additives, and sand, little or ...
