Interactions between dry-air entrainment, surface evaporation and convective boundary-layer development [PDF]
, 2009 The influence of dry-air entrainment on surface heat fluxes and the convective boundary-layer (CBL) properties is studied for vegetated land surfaces, using a mixed-layer CBL model coupled to the Penman¿Monteith equation under a wide range of conditions.

Air entrainment in a vertical dropshaft with limited air supply
Theoretical and Applied Mechanics Letters, 2018 Dropshafts are vertical structures widely used in urban drainage systems and buildings for water transportation. In this paper, a physical model study was conducted to investigate the air entrainment in the dropshaft under various flow regimes with and ...

Numerical modelling of air entrainment: In hydraulic engineering [PDF]
, 2021 Air entrainment in water flows is a natural phenomenon prone to take place when energy is dissipated in flowing water. In nature, air entrainment appears as white water in waterfalls or in waves breaking on the beach.

Two-phase numerical study of the flow field formed in water pump sump: influence of air entrainment [PDF]
, 2009 In a pump sump it is imperative that the amount of non-homogenous flow and entrained air be kept to a minimum. Free air-core vortex occurring at a water-intake pipe is an important problem encountered in hydraulic engineering.

Numerical investigation of air-entrainment in skimming flow over stepped spillways
Theoretical and Applied Mechanics Letters, 2016 As a widely used flood energy dissipator, the stepped spillway can significantly dissipate the kinetic or hydraulic energy due to the air-entrainment in skimming flow over the steps.
