Abstract: Thermal effluents are often discharged by municipalities, industries, and thermal power plants into nearby streams. In northern regions, where rivers are ice‐covered for part of the year, these thermal effluents have the ...

Abstract: In northern rivers, reaches of open water in the ice cover may exist throughout the winter season. Some of these reaches are the result of a tributary effluent of higher temperature or of fast‐moving water that alter the ...

Abstract: In cold regions, rivers may be partially or completely ice covered during a good part of the year. Under these conditions, heat transfer between the river flow and the atmosphere occurs simultaneously at the ice-air and ...

Abstract: Based on the three‐dimensional (3‐D) hydrodynamic Navier‐Stokes equations, a numerical model is developed to simulate circulations in small shallow lakes with particularly irregular geometry. The geometry of the flow field ...

Abstract: In the present paper, a computer vision system composed of five models is proposed for vehicle classification. The five models are: (1) The perspective projection model; (2) the length measurement model; (3) the width and ...

Abstract: The theory of lateral flow through a two‐dimensional channel outlet is used to derive an expression for the flow through a rectangular lateral orifice discharging from a rectangular channel. The orifice discharge coefficient ...
