A method called Merged Perpendicular Method (M.P.M.)has been developed to compute the distribution of boundary shear stress across irregular straight channels. In a concave angle of a cross section, computed shear stress is lower than in a convex...

The boundary shear stress is one of the most important parameters both for practical developments and for fundamental studies in open channel hydraulics and fluid mechanics. The authors have presented a fairly reliable method to assess the boundary...

The blockage of arteries in the human vertebrobasilar system (VBS) usually results in major disability or death. It has been widely seen that atherosclerotic stenosis occurs at locations with a low wall shear stress or a high oscillatory shear index...

In this study, the characteristics of sediment deposition with three levels of wastewater, different shear stress and initial sediment concentration were investigated in an annular flume. Sediment used for experiments was taken from Pirbalut dam...

blood rheology. The results show that streamlined stents prevent low and high wall shear stresses in the vicinity of the stent. Also, these stents decrease the risk of thrombosis and restenosis by eliminating the particle residence time in the region...

In 1999, Merged Perpendicular Method (MPM) was developed by Khodashenas & Paquier in order to compute the distribution of boundary shear stress across irregular straight channels. For examination and validation of MPM, 4 methods are studied...

Deformation of various kinds of cross-sections was computed with the hypothesis that scour or deposit were directly related to shear stress computed by the Merged Perpendicular Method. Final stabilised cross section agrees with theoretical stable...
