Arduino-based automated system for determining water flow consumption in open flow

The article provides an overview of modern methods and devices for measuring water flow in open channels and natural watercourses, reflects the shortcomings and errors in their application. Considered the possibility of using the Arduino element base for creating an automated system for metering water consumption in an open stream and sending data via a Bluetooth module. Has been investigated the eventuality of using the pipe sensor YF-S201 for measuring the flow rate of liquid, in conjunction with the ultrasonic sensor of distance HC-SR04 for determining the level of water in the flow. The results of the experiment carried out on the basis of the laboratory stand “Hydraulic structures” in KSTU are presented. There were performed processing of the measurement results on the basis of the Arduino UNO board and a laptop, as well as remote data transmission and their visualization on a smartphone. The absolute and relative errors of the proposed system have been calculated.

Shielding Software Defined Network Using Hidden Authentication Technique

Software defined networking (SDN) permits community feature program ability intended to facilitate about design along with renovation, as well as permit community directors toward adapt congestion guidelines. Nevertheless, denial of provider (DoS) assailants causes productivity issues upon centralized consolidate aircraft about SDN. Even through shipping layer safety (TLS) be able to assist comfy manage plane, that far analytically extensive and composite design. Within the document, we plan light-weight validate compound, known as Hidden Authentication (HiAuth), toward guard the SDN through battering specifications about redirecting devices to control packets thru effective bitwise functioning. HiAuth be that initially toward incorporate records battering methods for Open Flow toward offer safety in opposition to DoS attacks. HiAuth utilizes IP identification field about IPv4 as well as proceedings recognition area about OpenFlow within two attestation methods. The investigational outcomes display that HiAuth able to efficiently alleviate trespasser DoS assaults as well as supply excessive unnoticeable toward assailants.

Local scour around a bridge pier under ice-jammed flow condition – an experimental study

The appearance of an ice jam in a river crucially distorts local hydrodynamic conditions including water level, flow velocity, riverbed form and local scour processes. Laboratory experiments are used for the first time here to study ice-induced scour processes near a bridge pier. Results show that with an ice sheet cover the scour hole depth around a bridge is increased by about 10% compared to under equivalent open flow conditions. More dramatically, ice-jammed flows induce both greater scour depths and scour variability, with the maximum scour depth under an ice-jammed flow as much as 200% greater than under equivalent open flow conditions. Under an ice-jammed condition, both the maximum depth and length of scour holes around a bridge pier increase with the flow velocity while the maximum scour hole depth increases with ice-jam thickness. Also, quite naturally, the height of the resulting deposition dune downstream of a scour hole responds to flow velocity and ice jam thickness. Using the laboratory data under ice-jammed conditions, predictive relationships are derived between the flow’s Froude number and both the dimensionless maximum scour depth and the dimensionless maximum scour length.

Experimental Evaluation on the Conductivity of Branch Fracture with Low Sand Laying Concentration and Its Influencing Factors in Shale Oil Reservoirs

The productivity of shale oil reservoirs is mainly determined by the hydraulic fractured reservoir volume. The branch fractures with low sand laying concentration are the main channels connecting the shale matrix and the main fractures. Maintaining the branch fracture conductivity is significant to the production of shale oil. In this study, a series of shale branch fracture conductivity and soaking experiments were conducted using a core flooding device and a small reactor, and the influences of different factors on the fracture conductivity were evaluated. The results show that when the sand laying concentration in fractures is less than 3 kg/m2, the branch fractures present a significant stress sensitivity. Particularly when the sand laying concentration is less than 1 kg/m2, and the closure pressure is greater than 15 MPa, there will be a risk of proppant embedded and fracture closed. The antiswelling agent has an inhibitory effect on the shale swelling. When the concentration of the antiswelling agent in the gel-breaking fluid is 2%, the swelling factor of shale powder is only 1.84%. Comparatively, the 0.5% of the antiswelling agent has a poor effect which can cause the shale rock to crack when the effective stress decreases. It can cause the fracture conductivity to decline by 70-90% when the gel-breaking fluid flows back associated with the shale oil. The probability of core breaking and proppant embedding will increase. The frequent shut-in and rapid open-flow for production can accelerate the damage of fracture conductivity. It is necessary to optimize the fracturing fluid and the open flow scheme to prevent the rapid decline of production in shale oil reservoirs.
