hydrograph analysis is a complex problem in a variety of water resources investigations and its estimate is critical in the assessment of low flow characteristics of river for use in water supply, water management and pollution assessment. the paper describes different methods of base flow separation based recession analysis from daily river flow records and distinguishes the most suitable meth...

administrative regulations for water flow decrease distribution efficiency and effect the economical operation of irrigation networks. complications in distribution systems and the decrease in availability of water require study of the hydraulic performance of existing flow control structures. control systems designed by neyrpic (zayandeh rud network) and usbr (doroodzan network) were investiga...

different approaches have been presented for estimating river environmental flow which hydrological approach has a lot addressed because of its need to access to limited data and moderately rapid assessment. this approach incorporates various methods therefore comparison between results of different methods is essential. the objective of this study is to investigate and compare the consequences...

when flow passes over the tube bundles, energy of flow transfers to the tubes. the fluid induced vibrations (fiv) imposed on the tubes is one of the important problems in analyzing the tube bundles and causes several problems. in this work, first, laminar flow around circular cylinder asymmetrically in a channel is simulated. the reynolds number is 20 and 100. the lift forces to tube are not ze...

introduction: the relation between morphine and nitric oxide release has been shown. due to important role of nitric oxide in regulation of skin blood flow, the aim of this study was to investigate the effect of nitric oxide synthase inhibitor (l-name) and nitric oxide synthesis precursor (l-arginine) on skin blood flow of intact and morphine-dependent rats. methods: skin blood flow of hind paw...

background: measuring peak expiratory flow rate has been suggested as an important tool in asthma management by all international guidelines.   objective: studies on various populations have shown considerable variations in normal values of peak expiratory flow rate. since reference standards for iranian children are not available, the present study was performed to establish these standards.  ...

the existing works considering the flow-based discount factor in the hub and spoke problems, assume that increasing the amount of flow passing through each edge of network continuously decreases the unit flow transportation cost. although a higher volume of flow allows for using wider links and consequently cheaper transportation, but the unit of flow enjoys more discounts, quite like replacing...

Environmental Flow Requirement (EFR) is defined as the flow that is necessary to ensure the existence of habitats in water resources systems. EFR is defined in rivers as flow index commonly. Tennant method is the most popular hydrological method in rivers and based on the historic flow data. The most common method of hydraulic rating method is the wetted perimeter method. Habitat simulation tec...

In this investigation, a mathematical model for studying oscillatory flow of blood in a stenosed artery under the influence of transverse magnetic field through porous medium has been developed. The equations of motion of blood flow are solved analytically. The analytical expressions for axial velocity, volumetric flow rate, pressure gradient, resistance to blood flow and shear stress have been...

Soil detachment is known as an important process in soil erosion and its quantification is necessary to establish a basic understanding of erosion. This study was carried out to find the best flow erosivity indicator(s) for predicting detachment rate at low slopes. For this purpose, 12 experiments including 6 flow discharges (75, 100, 125, 150, 175 and 200 ml/s) and 2 slope gradients (1.5 and 2...
