Abstract: Slide gates are commonly used to adjust flow in open canals. The discharge coefficient (Cd) for a slide gate is a function of the gate’s geometric and hydraulic characteristics. For free flow conditions, Cd depends on the ...

Abstract: Weirs are commonly used for making discharge measurements in irrigation canals. There are several types of weirs that are categorized based on their geometric shape or hydraulic properties. A gabion weir is a porous weir ...

Abstract: In this work, the structure of computed wall-impinging gas jets is compared with theoretical and experimental results presented in the literature. The computational study employs the k-ε model ...

Abstract: Expressions for the mass entrained in transient turbulent radial and wall-impinging jets are derived by employing scaling laws derived for quasi-steady jets. Quantitative values of the mass ...

Abstract: A two fluid Eulerian-liquid Eulerian-gas (ELEG) model for diesel sprays is developed. It is employed to carry out computations for diesel sprays under a wide range of ambient and injection ...

Abstract: The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect on flow hydrodynamics of grading of the bed and the mining of sand from the river bed around a bridge pier group. In total, 22 experiments with two different bed ...

Abstract: Piles are walls that are installed underneath hydraulic structures to control seepage flow, uplift pressure, and exit hydraulic gradient. In this study, the effect of the ratio of width of the apron to the foundation depth ...

Abstract: In the design of medical devices, the use of numerical simulation, either with or without complementary experimentation, may lead to a more competent product. The experimentation in question may ...

Abstract: This paper presents a computational study of entrainment characteristics in the near-field of gas jets under atmospheric and Diesel conditions and sprays under Diesel conditions. Computed flowfield ...
