Pool Type

Fishway is an effective engineering measure to keep the river longitudinal connectivity and maintain aquatic biodiversity. In this experiment, the pool-type fishway with asymmetric notches and orifices was studied, the ADV was employed to measure the velocity data in the pools, the flow velocity and flow regimes in the pools with the length of 0.5m, 0.6m and 0.7m at different measuring lines were analyzed. The results show that the maximum velocity is 0.35±0.025m/s in the three kinds of pools, and both the backflow region and the backflow velocities are correspondingly increased with the increasing length of the pool.

Cerebral Vascular

Introduction: Clinical reports show that cerebral blood flow conditions are indicative of cerebral vascular disease. While methods for characterizing cerebral vascular flow have been extensively reported in the past, comparative analyses between direct flow measurements (DM) and computational flow dynamic (CFD) analysis remain limited. We hypothesize that flow data can be reliably measured both directly and through CFD in normal vessels. Methods: A left heart replicator was used as a realistic cardiac pump which maintained systolic pressure at 120 mmHg and diastolic pressure at 80 mmHg. A stenotic model with 50% stenosis for the ICA was connected to the replicator. A ComboWire was used for DM and recorded flow pressure and velocity. CFD was used to study flow. Results: In areas at the proximal end of the stenosis, the pressure and flow velocity derived from DM and CFD were in good agreement. At the end of systole and diastole, DM pressure were 145.42 mmHg and 73.53 mmHg, respectively. CFD simulation for the same system obtained the pressure at the end of systole and diastole of 147.16 mmHg and 74.64 mmHg, respectively. The velocity data collected from DM was at 15.40 cm/s and 7.74 cm/s for systolic flow and mean flow velocity. CFD measured flow was 17.85 cm/s and 11.37 cm/s, respectively. In areas at the distal end of the stenosis, pressure data showed good agreement between DM and CFD analysis. The DM were 138 and 70.81 mmHg at the end of systole and diastole, respectively; CFD simulation yielded 145.95 and 74.51 mmHg, respectively. Variations in the velocity data were observed at this location (Fig, pink arrows). Conclusion: DM of pressure showed good agreement with CFD simulation in all areas of the vessel. DM of velocity using the flow wire were highly affected by location of the measurement. CFD analysis can provide more consistent flow data for flow information collection along the vasculature.

Hot Wire Anemometry

This study proposes a unique approach to convert a voltage signal obtained from a hot-wire anemometry to flow velocity data by making a slight modification to existing temperature-correction methods. The approach was a simplified calibration method for the constant-temperature mode of hot-wire anemometry without knowing exact wire temperature. The necessary data are the freestream temperature and a set of known velocity data which gives reference velocities in addition to the hot-wire signal. The proposed method was applied to various boundary layer velocity profiles with large temperature variations while the wire temperature was unknown. The target flow velocity was ranged between 20 and 80 m/s. By using a best-fit approach between the velocities in the boundary layer obtained by hot-wire anemometry and by the pitot-tube measurement, which provides reference data, the unknown wire temperature was sought. Results showed that the proposed simplified calibration approach was applicable to a velocity range between 20 and 80 m/s and with temperature variations up to 15 °C with an uncertainty level of 2.6% at most for the current datasets.

Bar Formation

A large number of studies both theoretical and experimental have been devoted to understand the physical mechanisms underlying the bar formation. This can be investigated by carrying out an experimental work in an erodible sand bed channel using a large-scale physical river model. The study included the various hydraulic characteristics with steady flow rates and sediment supply. An experimental work consists of four matrices of flow rate and channel width with other variables namely grains size and bed slope were kept constant. Details of bar profile development that generated using Surfer, a software used for 3D elevation plots are included.

The study of vortex shedding from a sphere assumes an important role because of its relevance to numerous aerodynamic and hydrodynamic applications. Parameters such as coefficient of drag and static pressure distribution are largely influenced by vortex shedding, and it is found by past studies that the freestream turbulence can interact and alter the vortex formation and shedding drastically. Most of these studies, however, were conducted in the low Reynolds number regime and the vortex shedding results had been described only qualitatively. To better understand the aerodynamics of a sphere in turbulent flow, an experimental study was initiated in a low speed wind tunnel to quantify the vortex shedding characteristics. The Reynolds number of the flow, based on the diameter of the sphere (d), was set at 3.3 × 104, 5 × 104 and 6.6 × 104 by varying the mean flow velocity. The sphere was placed at 20D (= 7.5d) downstream from a perforated plate, where D = 37.5 mm is the size of the holes in the perforated plate, uniquely designed for generating near-isotropic turbulence. Hot-wire measurements were taken at 10D (= 3.75d), 20D (= 7.5d) and 30D (= 11.25d) downstream of the sphere in absence and presence of the perforated plate. The vortex shedding frequency was deduced from the instantaneous flow velocity data.
