In this study we consider the unsteady separated flow of an inviscid fluid (density ρf ) around a falling flat plate (thickness T , half-chord L, width W , and density ρs) of small thickness and high aspect ratio (T L W ). The motion of the plate, which is initially released from rest, is unknown in advance and is determined as part of the solution. The flow solution is assumed two-dimensional ...

Hydraulic jump on adverse stilling basin is an unstable phenomenon which causes some complexities in controlling of the   jump. This paper considers the stability of free hydraulic jump on adverse stilling basins from a theoretical point of view. A minimum value of upstream Froude number is needed to produce the free hydraulic jump on adverse stilling basins which was presented by a theoretical...

Sediment Bypass Tunnels (SBTs) are deviant channels that convey the current containing sediments from the upstream of the reservoir to the downstream of the dam. In this research, by applying submerged plates on the entrance of a 90-degree diversion channel for sediment transport, the effect of hydraulic parameters of flow and changes in the angle of plates on sediment transport and deviated fl...

In Figure 1F, the number 0.24 should be 2.4 instead. The incorrect Froude number given for human walking (0.24) corresponds to 1.5m/s, which is closer to the preferred speed of human walking. The correct number now given (2.4) corresponds to a speed of about 4.6m/s.

where subscripts 1 and 2 refer to the upstream and downstream flow conditions, respectively; F Froude number; F=V / gd; d and V flow depth and velocity, respectively; and g=gravity acceleration. The hydraulic jump is typically classified in terms of its inflow Froude number F1=V1 / gd1, which must be greater than unity Bélanger 1828; Henderson 1966 . For F1 slightly above unity, the hydraulic j...

The effect of a sharp low-level temperature inversion on flow over a mountain is investigated via a series of two-dimensional idealized numerical model simulations. The main focus of the study is the effect of the inversion on the formation of lee waves, lee-wave rotors, low-level hydraulic jumps and the occurrence of wave breaking aloft. The idealized problem considered consists of an upwind v...

The purpose of this study was to investigate the mechanical control of speed in steady undulatory swimming. The roles of body flexural stiffness, driving frequency and driving amplitude were examined; these variables were chosen because of their importance in vibration theory and their hypothesized functions in undulatory swimming. Using a mold of a pumpkinseed sunfish Lepomis gibbosus, we cast...

this paper presents efflux time experiments performed in the absence and presence of aqueous solutions of drag reducing agents (dras) when a liquid is emptied from a large open cylindrical storage tank through an exit piping system. the drag reducing agents studied are dodecyl benzene sulfonate anionic surfactant and a mixed solution of surfactant and sodium chloride counter ion. the variables ...

In this research, the numerical method of computational fluid dynamics and dimensionless parameter of Froude number have been applied to determine the flow regime over ogee spillways.Froude number is a dimensionless dynamic parameter calculated using the square root of the ratio of inertia force and gravitational force. Considering that the study of the regimes of flow over hydraulic structures...
