Experimental results of detailed flow measurements using an Acoustic-Doppler Velocimeter (ADV) around a complex bridge pier (CBP) are presented. The pier consists of a column, a pile cap (PC) and a 2×4 pile group. The ...

and their locations have been studied in a physical model of Namrod Dam. Results showed that fluctuations in presence of jump in the basin are high and therefore the fluctuation factors are respectively high. In Positive pressure coefficient (CP+), it is evident...

computational approaches on the flow and thermal performance

predictions, and the influence of the selected physical model on the computational results.

Finally, the knowledge gaps in this field are discussed in detail, along with some suggestions...

It has been more than two decades since the discovery of nanofluids-mixtures of common

liquids and solid nanoparticles less than 100 nm in size. As a type of colloidal suspension,

nanofluids are typically ...
