The equations of fluids in porous media are very useful in designing the rockfill and diversion dams, gabions, breakwaters and ground water reserves. Researches have been showed that the Forchheimer equation is not sufficient for the analysis of hydraulic behavior of free-surface radial flows; because, in these flows, in addition to the hydraulic gradient and velocity, the variable of radius is...

nowadays, atomic force microscope is considered as a useful tool in the determination of intermolecular forces and surface topography with the resolution of nanometers. in this kind of microscope, micro cantilever is considered as the heart of the microscope and is used as a measuring tool.  this paper is aimed towards investigating the behavior of a piezoelectric micro cantilever with a triang...

Effect of air cushion layer right before impact of a rigid body onto water surface has been investigated in this paper. The study is mainly focused on evaluation of cushioning pressure and the resulting free surface elevation. The air flow is assumed to be an irrotational flow which is governed by Laplace equation. The air problem and the resulting response of the water free surface are suppose...

in this work, the (100) surface of au and pts face centered cubic lattice, has been simulated in monte-carlo method, using a 486-dx2 computer. the potential equation that was used for the interaction among atoms in the metal surfaces is called sutton and chen potential. this potential is introduced for the interaction of floating nuclei in the electron sea, and attractive term is a many body po...

side weir is a flow control structure that used extensively in irrigation and drainage as well as sewer networks. throughout the present research, a study comprised of 162 experiments was done on sharp-crested semi-circular side weir. since the height in this side weir varies along its length, this feature enables it to more properly control flood than rectangular side weirs in various flood co...

most weather stations in iran have been installed in arid areas, far from agricultural lands. therefore, the data gathered are not valid for estimating reference evapotranspiration. the advantage of satellite imagery is the coverage of a wide surface region from where information regarding agricultural areas can be obtained. according to this issue, researchers have converted the penman monteit...
