Abstract: The results of a laboratory investigation on the characteristics of a circular three-dimensional turbulent wall jet are presented. Measurements were performed up to 50 nozzle diameters using a combined Particle Image ...

Abstract: Combined particle image velocimetry and planar laser induced fluorescence is an efficient measurement approach for laboratory studies in environmental hydraulics. The coupling of the two well-known techniques enables ...

Abstract: With the assumption that the bed shear stress fluctuates in a lognormal fashion, the probability density function (PDF) of the standardized bed shear stress is derived as a function of the relative shear stress intensity. ...

Abstract: Turbulence generated by a vertically oscillating grid in a water tank was investigated using the digital particle image velocimetry technique. The statistical turbulence characteristics computed based on the experimental ...

Abstract: In this study, we exploit the advantages of Berkeley’s Unified Parallel C (UPC) programming model to optimize the speedup performance of computational hydrodynamic (CHD) simulations, which constitute an important class of ...

Abstract: This work investigated the interaction of surface waves with a dual-barrier system comprising two vertical viscoelastic thin sheets with variable spacing in finite water depth without preassumption of its dynamic behavior. ...

Abstract: In this paper, we report the behavior of a double-diffusive jet with a stability ratio

Abstract: This study experimentally investigates the effect of shallow water depth on the mixing of 30° and 45° inclined dense jets. Three different mixing regimes were identified, namely, the full submergence, plume contact, and ...

Abstract: In this study, we investigated a vertical dilute sediment-laden jet both experimentally and theoretically. First, an instantaneous whole-field velocimetry tool, particle image velocimetry, was applied to measure the sediment ...
