Effect of microchannel aspect ratio on residence time distributions and the axial dispersion coefficient [PDF]
The effect of microchannel aspect ratio (channel depth/channel width) on residence time distributions and the axial dispersion coefficient have been investigated for Newtonian and shear thinning non-Newtonian flow using computational fluid dynamics.

Residence time in micro-tidal basins [PDF]
To evaluate water quality, it is possible to use hydrodynamic indicators, instead of ecological models; the most widely used are some characteristic times-scale. Among them, in this work, residence time is considered.

Stability Analysis and Synthesis for 2-D Switched Systems with Random Disturbance
In this paper, the stability analysis and controller design of two-dimensional (2-D) switched system with random disturbances are studied. First, based on the Fornasini–Marchesini local state space model, a random discrete 2-D switched system model is ...

A novel approach for accurate quantification of lake residence time — Lake Kinneret as a case study
Water residence time, which is affected by increasing water demands and climate change, plays a crucial role in lakes and reservoirs since it influences many natural physical and ecological processes that eventually impact the water quality of the ...

Numerical Study of the Effect of a Power-law Fluid Flow Structures on Levels of Mixing in a Taylor Couette Configuration [PDF]
This work is a numerical study on the effects of the flow structures of the power-law fluid between two concentric cylinders with an upward laminar axial flow on levels of mixing and mean residence time through the Taylor Couette system.

Biochar has been shown as a potential mean to enhance carbon sequestration in the soil. In Brazil, approximately 15% of the produced charcoal is discarded as charcoal fines, which are chemically similar to biochar.

A fluid-mechanics based classification scheme for surface transient storage in riverine environments: quantitatively separating surface from hyporheic transient storage [PDF]
Surface transient storage (STS) and hyporheic transient storage (HTS) have functional significance in stream ecology and hydrology. Currently, tracer techniques couple STS and HTS effects on stream nutrient cycling; however, STS resides in localized ...

An improved model of continuous leaching systems using segregation approach [PDF]
In this study, a simplified dissolution model has been developed to evaluate the performance of continuous leaching reactors. The model considers continuous reduction of the surface area of particles using the distribution of their size and residence ...

On mean residence times in compartments [PDF]
Abstract This paper is concerned with a set of parameters which measure the mean time a random particle resides in individual compartments in response to a given load distribution. These parameters are related to other time parameters and to each other.
