rockfill dams are accounted as useful measures in watershed management projects. how-ever, the sediment transport through the rockfill materials, could impact their lifetime duration. previously, researches have been conducted to describe the various hydraulically issues of the flow passing through these structures however; there is no general relationship to estimate the sediment transport rat...

a numerical investigation of forced convection in a channel with hot solid block inside a square porous block mounted on a bottom wall was carried out. the lattice boltzmann method was applied for numerical simulations. the fluid flow in the porous media was simulated by brinkman-forchheimer model. the effects of parameters such as porosity and thermal conductivity ratio over flow pattern and t...

the spray characteristics of the fuel greatly influence emissions from diesel engines. spray development plays a vital role in improving the combustion and emission characteristics of fuel because it directly affects the air- fuel mixture formation. the spray characteristics of fuel mainly depend on fuel injection process, fuel density, fuel viscosity, ambient pressure and temperature. among th...

Turbulent flow over wall-mounted cube in a channel was investigated numerically using Large Eddy Simulation. The Selective Structure Function model was used to determine eddy viscosity that appeared in the subgrid scale stress terms in momentum equations. Studies were carried out for the flows with Reynolds number ranging from 1000 to 40000. To evaluate the computational results, data was compa...

this paper presents the results of a numerical study on the heat transfer performance and the removal process of fluid particles under the influence of magnetohydrodynamic mixed convection in a horizontal channel with an open cavity. the bottom wall of the cavity is heated at a constant temperature (th) while the top wall of the channel is maintained at a relatively low temperature (tc). air wi...

Rayleigh number (<i>Ra</i>) dependence in Rayleigh-Bénard (RB) convection has been studied by many investigators, but the reported power-law scaling expressions are different these researches. Previous studies have found that when <i>Ra</i> reaches a critical value, flow patterns change and transition appears of <i>Nu</i>(<i>Ra</i>) (where <i&g...
