Wall-jet flow is an important flow field in hydraulic engineering, and its applications include flow from the bottom outlet of dams and sluice gates. In this paper, the plane turbulent wall jet in shallow tailwater is simulated by solving the Reynolds Averaged Navier-Stokes equations using the standard  turbulence closure model. This study aims to explore the ability of a time splitting method ...

A numerical experiment is carried out to study the suitability of two-dimensional (2D) depth-averaged modeling for bend-flow simulation, in which the geometry of the studied channel is rectangular. Two commonly used 2D depth-averaged models for bend-flow simulation are considered in this study of which the bend-flow model includes the dispersion stress terms by incorporating the assumption of s...

gait contains important information about the status of the human body and physiological signs. in many medical applications, it isimportant to monitor and accurately analyze the gait of the patient. since walking shows the reproducibility signs in several phases,separating these phases can be used for the gait analysis. in this study, a method based on image processing for extracting phases of...

abstract the concept of armouring is used to discuss the coarse surface layer in rivers. selective erosion in an alluvial channel reach for which there is no upstream sediment supply can lead to formation of a layer coarser than the under laying material. this phenomenon inhibits sediment transport from the reach.numerical modeling of armouring river bed, provides an approach to simulation of t...

determining landslide size could be a difficult and expensive task. in this research, size parameters of 142 landslides recognized in tajan river basin, northern iran, have been assessed. the dataset was prepared through the extensive field surveys and using the satellite imagery available via google earth. dependence between landslides area (a-m2), volume (v-m3), and depth (d-m) was appointed ...

a new model is proposed in this research to calculate the longitudinal strengthof unidirectional e-glass reinforced polymer composites exposed to sulfuricacid environment, using a micromechanics model. in the proposed method,it is assumed that the residual strength of the degraded composites under acidic environment can be calculated by knowing the degraded strength properties of the constituen...
