Characterization and flow of food and mineral powders : a thesis presented in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Engineering at Massey University, Manawatū, New Zealand [PDF]
Powders are important commodities across different industries, such as the food and pharmaceutical industries. In these industries, powders are usually made, mixed, milled, packaged, and stored; these operations require the powders to move and flow ...

On the stabilizing influence of silt on sand beds [PDF]
In marine environments, sediments from different sources are stirred and dispersed, generating beds that are composed of mixed and layered sediments of differing grain sizes.

Open Channel Flow with Variable Bed Shear Stress
A transient process of the Reynolds-stress distribution due to a change of the bed shear stress in an open channel flow is investigated and a relaxation model, or a convolution-integral model with a concept of an impulse response, is proposed. The impulse response of the Reynolds-stress distribution for the change of bed shear stress is determined by a

Computer algebra models the inertial dynamics of a thin film flow of power law fluids and other non-Newtonian fluids [PDF]
Consider the evolution of a thin layer of non-Newtonian fluid. I model the case of a nonlinear viscosity that depends only upon the shear-rate; power law fluids are an important example, but the analysis is for general nonlinear dependence upon the shear-

Experimental validation of some basic assumptions used in physically based soil [PDF]
In spring 2009, four rill experiments were accomplished on a fallow land. Most external factors as well as discharge quantity (9 L min-1) were held constant or at least in the same range.

Erosion of fine sediments from a rough bed
Gravel beds in river systems represent important aquatic habitats, which may be endangered by the introduction of large amounts of fine sediments. In order to better understand the interaction between fine sediments and coarse immobile beds in sediment ...

Dry, wet, dense, and dilute granular flows have been previously considered fundamentally different and thus described by distinct, and in many cases incompatible, rheologies.

Near-Bed Turbulent Kinetic Energy Budget Under a Large-Scale Plunging Breaking Wave Over a Fixed Bar [PDF]
Hydrodynamics under regular plunging breaking waves over a fixed breaker bar were studied in a large-scale wave flume. A previous paper reported on the outer flow hydrodynamics; the present paper focuses on the turbulence dynamics near the bed (up to 0 ...

Bed shear stress distribution across a meander path
ABSTRACT Laboratory experimentation for bed shear stress distribution has been carried out in two sets of meandering channels. The channels have crossover angles of 110° and 60° constructed by ‘sine-generated’ curves over a flume of 4 m width. Variations in bed roughness were studied for the meandering main channel.

Laboratory studies on bedload transport under unsteady flow conditions
Two sets of triangular hydrographs were generated in a 12-m-long laboratory flume for two sets of initial bed conditions: intact and water-worked gravel bed. Flowrate ranging from 0.0013 m3 s-1 to 0.0456 m3 s-1, water level ranging from 0.02 m to 0.11 m,
