Simplified comprehensive scour model compared to erodibility index method [PDF]
This paper presents a simplified application of the Comprehensive Scour Model (CSM) developed by Bollaert (2002, 2004). The CSM is a physics-based theoretical method used to estimate the scour potential in fractured rock. It allows the user to determine the time evolution of scour formation as well as the ultimate scour depth and the shape of the scour

Driftwood blocking sensitivity on sluice gate flow
Hydraulic structures such as sluice gates are more sensible of driftwood that is transported by a river; all this debris, like a trunk, deadwood, and rootstocks, can be accumulated upstream hydraulic structures may cause many hydraulic troubles, so ...

This paper shows the effect of different bleaching agent on whiteness index and bursting strength of the cotton knitted fabric. Bleaching process uses three types of bleaching agents namely hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) and calcium hypochlorite Ca(OCl)2 with varying their ...

A Simulation and Optimization Study of the Swirling Nozzle for Eccentric Flow Fields of Round Molds
In continuous casting, the nozzle position may deviate from the center under actual operating conditions, which may cause periodic fluctuation of the steel-slag interface and easily lead to slag entrapment and gas absorption.
