in this study, the effects of strength and direction of the magnetic field on lid-driven cavity flow in the whole range of magnetic field strength variations, which already used in practice up to present (0 to 10 tesla), are studied. the governing equations, including conservative equations of momentum, continuity and magnetic field equations were solved numerically. momentum and continuity equ...

The concepts studied during Offset Stream Technology (OST) test were all designed to produce directional jet noise reduction in a separate flow engine configuration by redirecting the fan stream relative to the core stream, creating a thicker fan flow on one side of the jet. Previous studies, conducted at bypass ratios of five or less showed that lower noise levels would result on the thickened...

in this paper, river regime equations through developing of unit stream power equation and based on data of sistan and karaj rivers were derived. at the first step, methods and out-comes of former researchers are classified. on the next step, based on dimensional analysis, unit stream power as a function of river flow parameters including suspended sediment load and specific gravity of particle...

–We examined distribution and abundance patterns of 69 commonly occurring fishes at several hundred sites in Lower Michigan streams. We used cluster analysis to group fishes that commonly occurred together at stream sites. These seventeen clusters explained about 39% of the variation in species abundances among the stream sites, providing a reasonable, albeit simplified picture of general assoc...

Given image data of a fluid flow, the flow field, , governing the evolution of the system can be estimated using a variational approach to optical flow. Assuming that the flow field governing the advection is the symplectic gradient of a stream function or the gradient of a potential function-both falling under the category of a potential flow-it is natural to re-frame the optical flow pro...

Assessments of flow reduction in streams often focus on changes to biological communities and in-stream physical characteristics, with little consideration for changes in ecosystem functioning. It is unclear whether functional indicators of ecosystem condition may be useful for assessing the impacts of reduced discharge on small streams. Using weirs and diversions to reduce stream discharge dur...

Streamline advection has proven an eeective method for visualizing vector ow eld data. Traditional streamlines do not, however, provide for investigating the coarser-grained features of complex datasets, such as the white matter tracts in the brain or the thermal conveyor belts in the ocean. In this paper, we introduce a cohesive advection primitive, called a stream bundle. Whereas traditional ...

Extensive Research and Development (R&D) within the tidal energy industry is pushing this sector towards commercial viability, with full scale prototypes starting to meet the challenges of the marine environment. This paper combines velocity data collected from Ramsey Sound (Pembrokeshire, Wales), with Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) to assess the impact of non-rectilinear flows on turbine r...
