flow passing through lateral intakes and channel junctions is turbulent. sediment flow and bed forms areaffected by these flow patterns and vice versa. in this research, a laboratory study was carried out toexplore a possible method for sediment control for a set of submerged vanes and a single spur dikesimultaneously. since a larger portion of the near-bed flow was diverted, the intake receive...

micro scale gas flows has attracted significant research interest in the last two decades. in this research, the fluid flow of gases in the stepped micro-channel at a wide range of knudsen number has been analyzed with using the lattice boltzmann (mrt) method. in the model, a modified second-order slip boundary condition and a bosanquet-type effective viscosity are used to consider the velocity...

Water flow in open channels is always subject to the resistance to flow and energy dissipation. For design purposes, one of the needed variables is the hydraulic resistance coefficient. For this mean, the influence of cross-sectional shape together with secondary flow cells and lateral distribution of true boundary shear stress have not yet been fully explored. This paper surveys the number of ...

construction of the intake structures to divert some portion of flow water from a main channel causes some variations of flow conditions at the intake entrance. these variations cause the reinforcement of the eddy flow and sedimentation in the bank of the intake. an effective measure to control the entry sediment is the use of submerged vanes. most of previous studies in this regards have been ...

most previous laboratory studies of local scour at bridge abutments were performed in rectangular channels in which the distributions of flow velocity and bed shear stress were considered uniform in the transverse direction. in reality however, bridge abutments are usually located in the floodplain zone of rivers where velocity and shear stress distributions are directly affected by the lat...

open-channel junctions have a broad application in civil and environmental engineering. formation of a low-pressure zone with recirculating flow (high sedimentation) accompanied by a high-velocity zone (high erosion) is the most characteristic feature of flow in junctions. a large number of researches have been performed to study the complexity of the flow in junctions in open-channel flows. in...

in this paper, the flow of couple stress fluid is investigated in a helical screw rheometer (hsr). by unwrapping the channel, lands, and the outside rotating barrel, the geometry of hsr is approximated as a shallow infinite channel. both one- and two-dimensional analysis of the problem is presented using rectangular coordinates. in either case an exact solution of the flow problem is presented ...
