However, equal flow Re and equal flow velocity techniques impose restrictions on the flow conditions and the flow passage configuration.
Numerical simulations are carried out to compare the performance between the novel and conventional structure by examining four types of flow passage configuration and inlet/outlet arrangement.
Injury-based biomarkers may serve as a quantitative indicator of subacute physical injury and recovery, and aid hydropower operators in evaluation of safest passage configuration and operation actions for migrating juvenile salmonids.
Various annular passage configurations have been used in the reviewed studies, namely circular, ellipse, rectangular, square, triangular, and rhombic annular channels with different fluid and boundary conditions.
Open image in new window Fig. 6 Passage section of configuration 2. Configuration 3 has three longitudinal fins.
With similar overall passage success, slot configuration C2 requires a lower discharge to operate, making it the more cost-effective geometry, especially in regions affected by water scarcity.
Blocken et al. (2008a) showed that, counterintuitively, the wind speeds in the passage of diverging configurations is higher compared to converging configurations.
Long term alluviation of the cave system seems to be important in forming passages, determining their configuration, and setting up a general distributary pattern evident in passage morphology and sedimentary sequences.
In particular, dual-layer stents used in the treatment of intracranial aneurysms require the ability to conform to very narrow passages in their closed configuration, while at the same time they have to provide support and stability once deployed.
Joint-controlled passages may be high and narrow, sometimes with irregular walls; such a configuration resulted as the passages were enlarged from the initial joint by slowly percolating water.
Such configuration offers a tricontinuous passage for lithium ions, oxygen and electrons, which is propitious to the discharge reaction.
