Coefficients or hydrodynamic derivatives of autonomous underwater vehicles play a key role in their development. The most popular way for the estimation of coefficient is to implement captive model tests such as straight line tests and planar motion mechanism tests in towing tanks. In this paper, investigation of hydrodynamic derivatives was performed based on the water tunnel maneuvers. Forces...

wall-jet flow is an important flow field in hydraulic engineering, and its applications include flow from the bottom outlet of dams and sluice gates. in this paper, the plane turbulent wall jet in shallow tailwater is simulated by solving the reynolds averaged navier-stokes equations using the standard  turbulence closure model. this study aims to explore the ability of a time splitting method ...

Air is transported downstream by the water flow in a free-flow spillway tunnel, resulting high negative pressure, which causes gate vibration and cavitation. In this research work, physical model of tunnel was used to investigate effects surface velocity area residual cross sections on air movements. The results demonstrate that distribution forms an S-shaped curve. As increases or decreases, i...

Earthquake and its catastrophic failures has been one of the disturbance worry of Civil Engineers. In geotechnical science, liquefaction is one of the most important phenomenons induced by earthquake. A change in pore water pressure follows a change in effective stress, and in a critical state in which pore water pressure equals the total stress in soil particles, soil strength is suddenly lost...
