sewerage projects. He was well versed in hydraulics. He could build a dam or reservoir, and lay pipes and sewers. He knew a little bit of plumbing, but was not so sure of his ground in the installation of pumps and engines. He felt equally competent to construct irrigation works, water-works, or land drainage works, because the applications of hydraulics were involved in all these. As regards w...

Pothole formation and development may be influenced by joint sets and other heterogeneities within bedrock, as well as by hydraulics. Previous research indicates that most potholes found in rivers of the mountainous Spanish Central System exhibit preferred orientations associated with dominant joints and correlate more strongly with variations in substrate resistance than with hydraulics. Weath...

Research in plant hydraulics has provided important insights into plant responses to drought and species absolute drought tolerance. However, our ability to predict when plants will die from hydraulic failure under extreme drought is limited by a lack of knowledge with regards to the dynamics of plant desiccation following stomatal closure. Thus, we develop a simple hydraulics model based on br...

This paper discusses the possibility to use low-cost on/off valves instead of servo valves even in demanding servo applications. Different on/off control techniques are first reviewed and analyzed. Then the basic principles of suggested Digital Hydraulics technology are introduced and some tracking control results are presented. Results show that energy efficient and high-quality position and v...

This paper collects advances in the research project on history and philosophy of sciences physics teaching,focused hydraulics. The question regarding social needs, inequality, vulnerability during first quarter 21st century is; What to teach today? And for what purpose are hydraulics? document recognizes historical importance experimental activity science, associated phenomenology, conceptual ...

A new theory for the emergence of dispersion in shallow-water hydrodynamics in two horizontal-space dimensions is presented. Starting with the key properties of uniform flow in open channel hydraulics, it is shown that criticality is the key mechanism for generating dispersion. Modulation of the uniform flow then leads to model equations. The coefficients in the model equations are related prec...

general kind of encroachment of river is constructing a bridge on it. purpose of encroachment of river is occupation part of river and flood plain for constructing bridge. often being economical of bridge innovation affirmated that most of encroachment take place to river and flood plain, which this encroachment can be in form of embankment in flood plain of river or into the main bed of river ...
