the hydraulic characteristic of an up-flow anaerobic sludge blanket fixed film (uasb-ff) were studied by changing two important hydraulic factors that can impact significantly on the hydraulic regime of the uasb-ff bioreactor: the up-flow velocity (vup) and biogas production rate (qg). the analysis of the reactor hydraulic performance was performed by studying hydraulic residence time distribut...

Local scouring in the downstream of hydraulic structures is one of the important issues in river and hydraulic engineering, which involves a lot of costs every year, so the prediction of the rate of scour is important in hydraulic design. Side weirs are the most important of hydraulic structures that are used in passing flow. This study investigate the scouring due to falling jet from side weir...

abstract rockfill dams are usually used for affecting the flood and reducing the peak discharge. the materials used in these dams will usually make the flow turbulent, therefore darcy's law can not be used for this kind of dams and the equations based on the non-darcy flow must be applied. non-darcy flow equations are showed in two general ways including: and .one of the main parameters for flo...

Hydromechanical equipment of pumping stations irrigation systems, including the main Amu-Bukhara machine channel, was taken as object research. The study aims to assess operating conditions and improve units' reliability by developing new units that ensure reliable resource-saving operations. An important consequence using elements systems during reconstruction is an increase in unit capacity r...

Tight sand reservoir is usually characterized by high heterogeneity and complex pore structure, which makes the permeability calculation a big challenge and leads to difficulties in reservoir classification and productivity evaluation. First, five different Hydraulic Flow Units and respective Porosity-permeability relations were built based on core dataset from Kekeya block, Tuha Basin; and the...

Hydraulic systems are widely used in industry because of the advantages of their small size-to-power ratios and their ability to produce very large linear force and torque. There are tendencies for compact electro-hydraulic systems which deliver powerful, linear movement having hydraulic oil circulation only when operating. This paper investigates directly driven hydraulic setup for non-road mo...

The street hydraulic capacity to convey storm water is dictated by the street gutter geometry and hydraulic characteristics. With the consideration of traffic safety, the street hydraulic conveyance capacity is also subject to a reduction defined by the water velocity and flow depth in the street gutter. In this study, the street hydraulic equation is re-arranged to demonstrate that the water v...

Three parallel units of pilot-scale constructed wetlands (CWs), i.e., vertical subsurface flow (VSF), horizontal subsurface flow (HSF) and free water surface flow (FWS) wetland were experimented to assess their capabilities in purifying eutrophic water of Taihu Lake, China. Lake water was continuously pumped into the CWs at a hydraulic loading rate of 0.64 m d(-1) for each treatment. One year's...
