NEFCO density current Baffle design

The study was originally conceived to evaluate the performance of the NEFCO Stamford Baffle design and several variations on that design to better understand the parameters that affected baffle performance. To that end, the plan was straightforward. The first step was the simulation of a 70-ft diameter clarifier. This clarifier would serve as the test bed to calculate the predicted effectiveness ...

Oil droplets and solid particles removal using circular separator with inclined coalescence mediums: comparison between co-current and counter-current flow

This research investigated the effects of co- and counter-current flow patterns on oil-water-solid separation efficiencies of a circular separator with inclined coalescence mediums. Oil-water-solid separations were tested at different influent concentrations and flowrates. Removal efficiencies increased as influent flowrate decreased, and their correlationship can be represented by power ...

New topology for management of bi-directional power flow between vehicle and grid with reduced ripple current at unity power factor

In this paper, a new topology of single-phase pulse width modulated (PWM) AC-DC converter is proposed for bidirectional power flow between plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) and the grid. This converter consists of a PWM voltage source converter (VSC) and a ripple reduction circuit. The ripple reduction circuit consists of a switching leg and an inductor. The inductor is connected between ...

Impact of urban WWTP and CSO fluxes on river peak flow extremes under current and future climate conditions

The impact of urban water fluxes on the river system outflow of the Grote Nete catchment (Belgium) was studied. First the impact of the Waste Water Treatment Plant (WWTP) and the Combined Sewer Overflow (CSO) outflows on the river system for the current climatic conditions was determined by simulating the urban fluxes as point sources in a detailed, hydrodynamic river model. Comparison was made ...

Influence of wave and current flow on sediment-carrying capacity and sediment flux at the water–sediment interface

In nearshore waters, spatial and temporal scales of waves, tidal currents, and circulation patterns vary greatly. It is, therefore, difficult to combine these factors’ effects when trying to predict sediment transport processes. This paper proposes the concept of significant wave velocity, which combines the effects of waves, tides, and ocean currents using the horizontal kinetic energy ...

Measuring the Dispersion Coefficient with Acoustic Doppler Current Profilers

Abstract: A method is evaluated for estimating the longitudinal dispersion coefficient K from velocities and bathymetry measured with an acoustic Doppler current profiler #1;ADCP. If shear dispersion controls the mixing, the dispersion coefficient can be estimated from measurements of velocity and depth in a cross section. The dispersion coefficient has typically been measured by costly and ...

Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler measurements near a weir with fish pass: assessing solutions to compass errors, spatial data referencing and spatial flow heterogeneity

There has been an increasing interest in the use of Acoustic Doppler Current Profilers (ADCPs) to characterise the hydraulic conditions near river engineering structures such as dams, fish passes and groins, as part of ecological and hydromorphological assessments. However, such ADCP applications can be limited by compass errors, obstructed view to navigation satellites, frequent loss of ...

Exothermic reaction induced by high-density current in metals: possible nuclear origin

Since 1989, many experimenters worked on low-energy nuclear reactions (LENR). They face both an experimental and a theoretical dilemma: how to design simple and convincing experiments in a complex system and if the phenomenon has a nuclear origin, why do they observe no radiation. A rather simple water mass flow calorimeter was designed to study this phenomenon under different experimental ...

Calibration of The LISFLOOD Model For Europe: Current Status And Way Forward

The hydrological model LISFLOOD model forms the core of the European Flood Alert System (EFAS) and is used for impact studies to evaluate the effect of changes in land use and climate on the hydrological behaviour in catchments across Europe. The accuracy of the model predictions depends on the ability of the model to capture the dominating hydrological processes that transfer precipitation into ...

Multi–physics modelling of nuclear reactors: current practices in a nutshell

Current practices in the nuclear industry to model the transient behaviour of nuclear reactors are based on the use of different solvers for resolving the different physical fields, and to some extent the different scales. The overall time–dependence is computed by a coarse–mesh neutronic solver coupled to a coarse–mesh thermal–hydraulic solver. The meso–scale information in the thermal–hydraulic ...

Estimating longitudinal dispersion in rivers using Acoustic Doppler Current Profilers

Abstract The longitudinal dispersion coefficient (D) is an important parameter needed to describe the transport of solutes in rivers and streams. The dispersion coefficient is generally estimated from tracer studies but the method can be expensive and time consuming, especially for large rivers. A number of empirical relations are available to estimate the dispersion coefficient; however, ...
