Decades of beauty: Achieving aesthetic goals throughout the lifespan
Abstract Background Several elements, including age, influence judgments of beauty and attractiveness. Aging is affected by intrinsic factors (e.g., genetics, race/ethnicity, anatomical variations) and extrinsic factors (e.g., lifestyle, environment).

Investigation of turbulent flows using spillway models aiming to aid downstream migration of fish
Abstract Dams and other flow control structures constitute obstacles to upstream and downstream aquatic habitats, reducing life‐cycle success and even eliminating diadromous and potamodromous fish species from river basins. Providing effective passage past hydroelectric dams is critical for restoring habitat connectivity and sustaining populations of ...

Abstract Gross primary production (GPP) by boreal forests is highly sensitive to environmental changes. However, GPP simulated by land surface models (LSMs) remains highly uncertain due to the lack of direct photosynthesis observations at large scales. Carbonyl sulfide (COS) has emerged as a promising proxy to improve the representation of GPP in LSMs.

Abstract We present a comparison of atmospheric transport model (ATM) simulations for carbonyl sulfide (COS), within the framework of the atmospheric tracer transport model intercomparison project “TransCom‐COS.” Seven ATMs participated in the experiment and provided simulations of COS mixing ratios over the years 2010–2018, using state‐of‐the‐art ...

Numerical and experimental models applied to an ogee crest spillway and roller bucket stilling basin
Traditionally, reduced physical models are used to allow control, instrumentation and experimental evaluation of flow. More recently, computational fluid dynamics (CFD) has emerged as a tool that allows numerical modeling of flows and can complement the ...

One of the most important hydraulic structures in a dam is the spillway. The design of the ogee spillway crest is based on the lower profile of the free-flow jet passing through the sharp-crested weir.

Influence of a Modified Weir Profile on Velocity Field and Dissipation Rate in Stepped Spillways: A Comparative Study Using Physical Models and Computational Fluid Dynamics [PDF]
Stepped spillways are specialized hydraulic structures crafted to optimize the effective dissipation of hydraulic energy along stepped chutes. The central objective is to scrutinize and improve the mitigation of flow separation occurring from the ogee ...

Dynamic Pressure Fluctuations in Stepped Three-Side Spillway [PDF]
One type of outlet works in dams are Three-side spillways that despite of their hydraulic limitations and construction problems, they were being selected, in storage dams, as best option under specific topographical conditions. Considerable energy losses

Stepped Spillway Hydraulic Model Investigation
An experimental hydraulic model investigation was conducted to evaluate the performance of a stepped overflow spillway . The spillway tested has a standard ogee profile with continuous steps cut into a straight portion of downstream face from tangential ...
