Abstract: For model tests on cavitation inception, the knowledge of the size distribution and frequency of occurrence of free nuclei is important. For this reason, an optical measuring method was developed ...

Abstract: A new method to predict traveling bubble cavitation inception is devised. The crux of the method consists in combining the enhanced predictive capabilities of large-eddy-simulation (LES) for flow ...

Abstract: The Irrigation Land Management (ILM) model was developed as a research tool to simulate the demand and response of a multiple‐field multicrop irrigation system in a variety of environments in order to assist managers in ...

Abstract: Warming of the global atmosphere by 2°‐5° C, and regional changes in precipitation by mid 21st century as greenhouse gases double, is expected. A composite model predicts the consequences on the geography of U.S. irrigation. ...

Abstract: Nanoparticles have emerged as promising adsorbents for water purification. In this study, nanoscale carbon black was employed to remove natural organic matter (NOM) from water in the presence and absence of coagulation. ...

Abstract: The microbubble spectrum in a sample of tap water was measured by the Coulter counter technique under various conditions, and at the same time the tensile strength (i.e., “superheat” capacity) ...

Abstract: The finite-element method was used to create detailed models of horizontally curved steel I-girder bridges connected by cross frames. The effects of a number of parameters on the behavior of the curved girder system were ...

Abstract: The hydraulics of IDEal low-pressure drip irrigation system components were analyzed under controlled laboratory conditions. The hydraulic loss coefficient for the lateral-submain connector valves was determined based on ...
