Trashracks of hydroelectric plants are very important equipment because they are responsible for protection of hydraulic turbines against impact of floating bodies. These structures are basically constituted by horizontal ...

Several researchers have studied turbulent structures, such as ejections, sweeps, and outwards and inwards interactions in flumes, where the streamwise velocity dominates over vertical and transversal velocities. However, ...

The mechanism of wake-induced vibrations (WIV) of a pair of cylinders in a tandem arrangement is investigated by experiments. A typical WIV response is characterized by a build-up of amplitude persisting to high reduced ...

In this paper some results on the convergence of the Gauss–Seidel iteration when solving fluid/structure interaction problems with strong coupling via fixed point iteration are presented. The flow-induced vibration of a ...

Mid-channel bars and their associated confluences are key morphodynamic nodes within braided rivers, with past studies having investigated the morphodynamics of small natural channels or laboratory models with relatively ...

Abstract: While vector fields are essential to simulate a large amount of natural phenomena, the difficulty to identify patterns and predict behaviors makes the visual segmentation in simulations an attractive and powerful ...

In refrigeration compressors, the suction and discharge valves are responsible for the retention of the refrigerant from the suction chamber to the cylinder and passage from the cylinder to the discharge chamber. As the ...

The scour at bridge foundations caused by supercritical flows is reviewed and knowledge gaps are analyzed focusing on the flow and scour patterns, available measuring techniques for the laboratory and field, and physical ...
