This dissertation presents a detailed numerical study using fully three-dimensional Large Eddy Simulation (LES) simulations of the flow and mass exchange processes in straight channels containing one or multiple embayments with vertical spanwise walls on one side corresponding to the presence of groynes in river reaches. The main focus is on identifying, understanding and quantifying the role p...

In this paper, we analyze the thermal radiation and chemical reaction impacts on MHD peristaltic motion of the Eyring-Powell fluid through a porous medium in a channel with compliant walls under slip conditions for velocity, temperature, and concentration. Assumptions of a long wave length and low Reynolds number are considered. The modeled equations are computed by using the perturbation metho...

Transfer of debris flow caused by floods in the river downstream of the mountains leads to several damages every year. Numerous researches have been carried out on the Mountain Rivers the results of which show the importance of performing more researches to control debris flows in the floodplain because of various effective hydraulic-geometric parameters.For this purpose, AbNik Mountain River l...

the thermo-hydraulic behavior of the air flow over a two dimensional ribbed channel wasnumerically investigated in various rib-width ratio configurations (b/h=0.5-1.75) atdifferent reynolds numbers, ranging from 6000 to 18000. the capability of differentturbulence models, including standard k-ε, rng k-ε, standard k-ω, and sst k-ω, inpredicting the heat transfer rate was compared with the experi...

in this research a flat plate solar air collector was investigated under direct solar radiation consisted of a slatted glass cover, perforated absorber aluminum sheets (porosity 0.0177, 0.0314 and absorber thickness of 2.5 mm). the effect of porosity on absorber efficiency of collector was evaluated. six levels of air mass flow rates (0.0056 to 0.0385 kg m-2 s-1) were adopted.average solar ener...
