In recent years, preservation and purgation of rivers is considered by national and international organizations that have responsible of quality control and preservation of water resources. Because of providing public health, it is most important and vital in regions that cities that rivers feed drink waters and large industrial factories located near these rivers (Li et al., 1998; Pourabadei &...

Horizontally periodic, vertically localized internal wavepackets evolve nonlinearly due only to interactions between the waves and their wave-induced mean flow. The corresponding weakly nonlinear equation that describes the evolution of the amplitude envelope before the onset of parametric subharmonic instability is examined. The results are compared with fully nonlinear numerical simulations a...

We investigate the vertical metallicity gradients of five mono-age stellar populations between 0 and 11Gyr for a sample of 18 435 dwarf stars selected from the cross-matched Tycho-Gaia Astrometric Solution and Radial Velocity Experiment (RAVE) Data Release 5. We find a correlation between the vertical metallicity gradients and age, with no vertical metallicity gradient in the youngest populatio...

The vertical beam spread is one of the most important parameters for the high brilliance storage ring, which is represented by the coupling ratio of the horizontal and vertical beam emittances. The coupling between the horizontal and vertical betatron oscillations and the vertical dispersion with the energy spread generate the vertical beam spread, so that they should be corrected. The latter h...

This article is the second in a two-paper series presenting results from wind tunnel and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations of flow and dispersion in an idealized model urban neighborhood. Pollutant dispersion results are presented and discussed for a model neighborhood that was characterized by regular city blocks of three-story row houses with a single 12-story tower located at th...
