Measurements and numerical simulations carried out off Mumbai coast for the period 22 October–22 November 2009 showed significant variations in water level and currents during cyclone Phyan. Changes in the meridional component of the current velocity were found to be highly significant during...

Although short-circuiting is broadly recognized as an important phenomenon in reactor designs, it is very difficult to compare the degree of short-circuiting among different reactor types from the hydraulic indexes in reality. Identification of reactor type was essential and necessary to solve...

Analyzing hydraulic risk involves simulating a high number of scenarios from which to draw statistical information about flood extent and depth in relation to variations in the defence conditions and the entity of the event. With the aim of keeping the computational times of simulations within...

A theory of nonlinear convective depletion is set up as a nanosphere translates fast through a semidilute polymer solution. For nanospheres a self-consistent field theory in the Rouse approximation is often legitimate. A self-similar solution of the convective depletion equation is argued to be...

This contribution investigates the impact of the deployment of tidal stream turbine arrays on sediment dynamics and seabed morphology in the Pentland Firth, Scotland. The Pentland Firth is arguably the premier tidal stream site in the world and engineering developments are progressing rapidly....

An ordinary differential equation (ODE) form of the radial return algorithm, which is essentially a Prandtl-Reuss material model, is combined with a strain-rate hardening model to produce an ODE that describes deviatoric stress through a prescribed density rise. An analytical solution is found...
