A complete mathematical description of oscillatory Couette flows within the framework of kinetic theory is not available in the literature. Motivated by this and their vast engineering applications, we present a parametric study of time-periodic oscillatory Couette flows using the unsteady direct simulation Monte Carlo ~DSMC! method. Computations are performed as a function of the Knudsen ~Kn! ...
Alterations to flow regimes from regulation and climatic change both affect the biophysical functioning of rivers over long time periods and large spatial areas. Historically, however, the effects of these flow alteration drivers have been studied separately. In this study, results from unregulated and regulated river management models were assessed to understand how flow regime alterations fro...
The regime transitions of granular flow in a model shear cell are investigated numerically with a stress-controlled boundary condition. The correlations between the elastically and kinetically scaled stresses and the packing fraction are examined, and two packing fractions (0.58 and 0.50) are identified for the quasistatic to intermediate and intermediate to inertial regime transitions. The pro...
The Tongariro River supports a world renowned trout fishery and a nationally important hydroelectric power scheme which has caused profound changes to the river's flow regime and some minor changes to its fishery. Specifications for the regulated compensation flow in the lower river, whilst originally intended to protect the fishery, constrain electricity generation and fail to address all requ...
Seepage in a medium packed with particles of variable granular size can be seen in many fields of engineering applications. Due to the relative complex spatial aspect of pore geometry, there are notable differences in the critical parameters of flow transition (Reynolds number and Forchheimer number) between different structures. It is difficult to distinguish the available range of seepage equ...
As part of the determination of the ecological Reserve for rivers in South Africa (National Water Act, 1998), flow requirements are assessed for maintenance low flow, drought low flow and flood conditions. Since water quantity and water quality are often closely linked, it is necessary to ensure that in setting the recommended flow regime, the appropriate water quality will be attained. This pa...
Probabilistic Neural Network prediction of liquid- liquid two phase flows in a circular microchannel
The present work proposes towards flow pattern prediction in a liquidliquid microchannel flow through a circular channel. Mass transfer in a microchannel mainly depends on the flow regime inside the channel. The liquid-liquid two phase flow regime in a microchannel depends on the flow velocity and the junction characteristics. Hence, the prediction of patterns has a superior role for the charac...
A unified gas-kinetic scheme for continuum and rarefied flows IV: Full Boltzmann and model equations
With discretized particle velocity space, a unified gas-kinetic scheme for entire Knudsen number flows is constructed based on the BGK model. In comparison with many existing kinetic schemes for the Boltzmann equation, the current method has no difficulty to get accurate solution in the continuum flow regime, such as the solution of the Navier-Stokes (NS) equations with the time step being much...
Spontaneous stratification of granular mixtures has been reported by Makse et al. @Nature ~London! 386, 379 ~1997!# when a mixture of grains differing in size and shape is poured in a quasi-two-dimensional heap. We study this phenomenon using two different approaches. First, we introduce a cellular automaton model that illustrates clearly the physical mechanism; the model displays stratificatio...
A river regime describes the average seasonal behaviour of flow. This seasonal pattern reflects climatic and physiographic conditions in the basin. An inherent characteristic of a flow regime is its stability, i.e. regularity or irregularity of the seasonal pattern. A temperature rise, as predicted by climatic models, might cause changes in the patterns and stability of river flow regimes. Sens...
