abstract in this study, the effect of suspended load transport on the characteristics of submerged hydraulic jump (shj) in a rectangular channel was investigated experimentally. sediment concentration and jet froude numbers in the range of 0.424%-16.15% and 1.93-4.96, respectively, were considered. tow grain size 0.15 and 0.03 mm were used in the experiments. characteristics of submerged hydrau...

Traditional meter gates for farm delivery flow measurement from an open channel conveyance have traditionally incorporated round canal gates (Armco type) for control. In recent years, some irrigation water agencies (i.e., irrigation districts) have replaced deteriorating round gates with lower-cost rectangular gates that cover round holes. Similar to the situation described in a companion paper...

A capillary flow liquid acquisition device (LAD) for cryogenic propellants has been developed and tested in NASA Glenn Research Center to meet the requirements of transferring cryogenic liquid propellants from storage tanks to an engine in reduced gravity environments. The prototypical mesh screen channel LAD was fabricated with a mesh screen, covering a rectangular flow channel with a cylindri...

Blind equalization techniques have been developed over the past three decades that estimate and equalize communication channels without requiring training sequences and without channel knowledge. This article presents a new blind equalization algorithm with particular relevance to large-order, square or rectangular constellations. Comparisons with standard blind equalization methods are also pr...

New experimentals work were conducted to study the effects of sediment deposits’ thickness on the incipient motion of particles in a rigid rectangular channel. The results show that the deposits’ thickness significantly affects the channel’s ability to erode the sediment deposits. New equations were derived taking into account the effects of deposits’ thickness.

We consider a charged Brownian particle in an asymmetric bistable electrostatic potential biased by an externally applied or induced time periodic electric field. While the amplitude of the applied field is independent of frequency, that of the one induced by a magnetic field is. Borrowing from protein channel terminology, we define the open probability as the relative time the Brownian particl...

The authors have previously presented a mathematical model to predict transit time of a neutrophil through an alveolar capillary segment which was modeled as an axisymmetric arc-shaped constriction settled in a cylindrical straight pipe to investigate the influence of entrance curvature of a capillary on passage of the cell. The axially asymmetric cross section of a capillary also influences th...

The turbulent convective thermal transfer in channel heat exchangers (CHEs) is studied numerically via the CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) method. Deflectors are inserted on hot bottom walls of to enhance hydrothermal characteristics. Various shapes in-line deflectors considered, namely: rectangular (a/b = 0.00), cascaded rectangular-triangular 0.25, 0.50, and 0.75), triangular 1.00) shapes....

Abstract In this paper, a model problem of viscous flow and heat transfer in rectangular converging (diverging) channel has been investigated. The governing equations are presented Cartesian Coordinates consequently they simplified solved with perturbation numerical methods. Initially, symmetrical solutions the boundary value found for upper half channel. Later on, these extended to lower then ...
