Abstract In this research, the models of Inflatable weirs with internal pressures 0.5 and 1.4 at three heights 0.15, 0.2 0.25 m were constructed. The deflectors used in two geometric sections, including rectangular triangular shapes, they installed angles 30, 45, 60 degrees downstream weir body. results showed that value Cd changes between 0.28 0.35 while range ratio upstream flow head on crest...

in the present study, experimental investigations about the hydrodynamics of the conical cap tray (concap tray) have been carried out. the concap tray is an innovative and novel type of cap trays. the effect of the different weir height (2.5, 5 and 7 cm) on the weeping, entrainment and the total pressure drop for the concap tray was measured, compared and correlated. the hydraulic experiments w...

The piano key weir (PKW) is a type of nonlinear control structure that can be used to increase unit discharge over linear overflow weir geometries, particularly when the weir footprint area is restricted To predict the outflow passing over a piano key weir, the discharge coefficient in the general equation of weir needs to be known. This paper presents the results of laboratory model testing of...

Aims. Homonymous hemianopia (HH), a severe visual consequence of stroke, causes difficulties in detecting obstacles on the nonseeing (blind) side. We conducted a pilot study to evaluate the effects of oblique peripheral prisms, a novel development in optical treatments for HH, on detection of unexpected hazards when driving. Methods. Twelve people with complete HH (median 49 years, range 29–68)...

Side impact pole/tree crashes can have devastating consequences. A series of 53 CIREN cases of narrow-object side impacts were analyzed. Twenty-seven of 53 had serious chest injury and 27 had serious head injury. Unilateral chest trauma led to the examination of residual crush pattern that often demonstrated oblique door intrusion into the occupant thorax space. It was hypothesized that unilate...
