Abstract: A consolidated model for the turbine operation of centrifugal pumps comprising accurate prediction, optimum selection, and rigorous evaluation has been the primary need and the most challenging ...

Abstract: The influence of geometric parameters, such as blade profile and hub geometry on axial flow turbines for micro hydro application remains poorly characterized. This paper first introduces a holistic theoretical model for ...

Abstract: The understanding of the model capabilities and inherent uncertainties is vital in river flood prediction systems. This paper addresses the need by considering two conventional models: hydrodynamic (HD) model and Muskingum-Cunge ...

Abstract: Effects of flow depth, ions, and salinity on the evolution of suspended sediment concentration (SSC) are presented. Experiments are conducted in an annular flume using three different sediments (Rhine mud, alumina, and ...

Abstract: Drag reduction in flows with clay mineral particles was experimentally studied, Experiments with clay suspensions flowing over smooth gravel, and stone beds proved that resistance of the flow may be considerably reduced ...
