PURPOSE: The Coastal and Hydraulics Engineering Technical Note (CHETN) herein describes a method for estimating the percentage of sand-sized material placed in suspension by breaking waves and carried by a cross-channel current to either fall into a navigation channel or travel across it. Required inputs are channel width and depth, depth in the vicinity of the channel, depth-averaged current v...

The potential energy recovery of hydraulic excavators is very significant for improving efficiency and reducing pollutant emissions. However, the more common solutions require conversion processes before these energies can be reused, which adds to complexity high cost system. To tackle above challenges, we proposed a novel system hybrid based on digital pump with an function. new could operate ...

Simulation codes allow one to reduce the high conservativism in nuclear reactor design improving reliability and sustainability associated with power. Full-core coupled physics at rod level are not provided by most simulation codes. This has led UK development of a multiscale multiphysics software focused on LWRS. In terms thermal hydraulics, suitable for this include subchannel code CTF hydrau...

Transpiration represents more than 30% of the global land–atmosphere water exchange but is highly uncertain. Plant hydraulics was ignored in traditional land surface modeling, recently plant has been found to play an essential role transpiration simulation. A new physical-based representation hydraulic schemes (PHS) developed and implemented Common Land Model (CoLM). However, it unclear what ex...
