Simplified comprehensive scour model compared to erodibility index method [PDF]

open access: yesScour and Erosion, 2016
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

open access: yesOpen Engineering, 2022
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 ...

Clean Cut (adaptive, multimodal surgical infection prevention programme) for low‐resource settings: a prospective quality improvement study

open access: yesBJS (British Journal of Surgery), EarlyView., 2020
Clean Cut is a multimodal, adaptive, checklist‐based infection prevention programme designed to improve compliance with six critical perioperative infection prevention practices. After introducing the programme at five hospitals in Ethiopia, compliance with critical infection prevention standards significantly improved and the relative risk of ...

Influence of acid rain and root reinforcement coupling factors on disintegration characteristics of expansive soil

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2023
The effect of soil fixation and anti-scour instability of slope vegetation generally depends on the strength and anti-disintegration ability of slope soil due to increase of root system. Therefore, it is particularly necessary to study the disintegration

Effect of Scouring and Bleaching Agents on whiteness Index and Bursting Strength of Cotton Knitted Fabric

open access: yesGlobal Journal of Researches in Engineering, 2019
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

open access: yesMetals, 2020
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.
