Abstract: Laboratory experiments were conducted to observe the behavior of turbidity currents in the vicinity of a slope transition. Both sediment‐laden and saline hydraulic jumps were produced. The vertical structure of the currents ...

Abstract: A layer‐averaged model for steady, spatially developing turbidity currents laden with poorly sorted sediment is presented together with laboratory experiments conducted to test several assumptions involved in the model ...

Abstract: The analysis of plunging flows using energy dissipation hypothesis is presented in this paper. The classic two-control-volume theory has recently been found questionable and needs to be corrected. In this study, we avoid ...

Abstract: Settling tanks are used to remove solids at wastewater treatment plants. Many numerical models have been proposed to simulate the settling process and to improve tank efficiency. In this research, a three-dimensional (3D) ...

Abstract: The present work demonstrates that the assumption of wall similarity in the equilibrium region of open channels leads to the definition of a constant, universal value for the normalized vertical flux of turbulent kinetic ...

Abstract: The meandering instability of a two-dimensional vertical plume is considered in this paper. The base flow profile is derived using boundary layer approximation and similarity hypothesis, in the spirit of Blasius boundary ...

Abstract: Observations have shown that accumulation of fine sediment in the pores of spawning open-work gravel have a detrimental effect on stream biota. The rate of deposition is intimately linked to the concentration of suspended ...

Abstract: A numerical model for local sediment scour with free surface and automatic mesh deformation is constructed and numerical results are compared with experimental results. For the turbulence closure, the two equation

Abstract: An analytical solution is proposed for laminar mudflows and debris flows that can be modeled by a Bingham-plastic law. Two-dimensional, unsteady, nonuniform, Bingham flows released from a point source or a source of finite ...
