We consider a tank containing a fluid. The tank is subjected to directly controlled translations and rotations. The fluid motion is described by linearized wave equations under shallow water approximations. For irrotational flows, a new variational formulation of Saint-Venant equations is proposed. This provides a simple method to establish the equations when the tank is moving. Several control...

In this paper we consider three-tank system as a hybrid system with discrete (on/off) valves and then we use Hybrid System’s Description Language to acquire a Mixed Logical Dynamical model of the system. In order to obtain a relatively accurate model of three-tank system, instead of using straight line approximation method for linearization of valves in whole space, we use Piecewise Affine meth...

This note describes continued studies at Fermilab of the long term stability of a small water Cerenkov tank. The water tank, bag liner, water, photomultiplier tube, and data acquisition software were unchanged for the additional measurements from June to November, 1999. However, some details of the geometry of the trigger counters relative to the tank and of the electronics may have differed. T...

When the crisscross baffles and logarithmic spiral baffles are placed on the bottom of the stirred tank with elliptic bottom, using CFD software FLUENT simulates the velocity field of the stirred tank with elliptic bottom and bottom baffles. Compare the velocity field of stirred tank with bottom crisscross baffle to the velocity field of stirred tank without bottom baffle and analysis the flow ...

On-site wastewater treatment systems (OWTS) work by first storing the wastewater in a septic tank before releasing it to soils for treatment that is generally effective and sustainable. However, it is not clear how the abundance of E. coli changes during its passage through the tank. In this study, which was conducted under the UGA young Scholar Program in summer of 2010, we examined the change...
