boundary layer growth and hence displacement thickness are the key factors in shock position over aerodynamical surfaces at transonic regimes. since boundary layer growth is a function of free stream reynolds number and also of the transition location, the free stream reynolds number and also the other parameters involved in the boundary layer growth and its transition location are determinant ...

In this paper an upwind algorithm based on Roe’s scheme is presented for solution of PNS equations. Non iterative-implicit method using finite volume technique is used. The main advantage of this approach, in comparison with similar upwind methods, is reduction of oscillations around sonic line. This advantage causes the present method to be able to analyze supersonic flows with free stream Mac...

carbon molecular sieve membranes (cmsms) have been considered as very promising candidates for gas separation, in terms of separation properties as well as thermal and chemical stability. due to the numerous advantages and wide applications of carbon membranes, their application for gas separation is of special importance. because of the importance of carbon membranes and a large number of stud...

in this paper trends of precipitation and stream flow are analyzed in the atrak river basin in the north khorasan province. normal score linear regression, mann-kendall, and seasonal kendall trend tests were adopted. three precipitation variables and two stream flow variables including total precipitation, maximum daily precipitation, and number of rainy days, mean discharge and peak discharge ...

Native vegetation clearing has created salinity problems in many parts of Australia. Reforestation has the potential to reduce salinity, but also reduces stream flow and this is a cause of concern. Spatial predictions of the stream flow and salinity impacts of reforestation are needed to assess the ability to achieve salinity and water resource targets. Unfortunately, our ability to predict sal...

2 Assistant Professor of Environmental Planning, Department of Landscape Architecture, University of California, Berkeley, California. Abstract: One of the most fundamental hydrologic determinations to be made in assessing the probable impacts of flow diversions on riparian vegetation is whether flows are gaining or losing water to groundwater in the reach of interest. Flow measurements on eigh...

I review the observational evidence for stream-fed accretion in intermediate polars. Recent work on the discless system V2400 Oph confirms the pole-flipping model of stream-fed accretion, but this applies only to a minority of the flow. The bulk of the flow is in the form of blobs circling the white dwarf, a state which might have been a precursor to disc formation in other IPs. I also discuss ...

The degradation of headwater streams is common in urbanized coastal areas, and the role these streams play in contributing to downstream pollution is a concern among natural resource managers and policy makers. Thus, many urban stream restoration efforts are increasingly focused on reducing the downstream flux of pollutants. In regions that suffer from coastal eutrophication, it is unclear whet...

In this study we evaluated changes in land cover and rainfall in the Upper Gilgel Abbay catchment in the Upper Blue Nile basin and how changes affected stream flow in terms of annual flow, high flows and low flows. Land cover change assessment was through classification analysis of remote sensing based land cover data while assessments on rainfall and stream flow data are by statistical analysi...
