Since 1986 measurements have been made with piezoelectric bedload impact sensors (PBIS) in several mountain torrents. In 1994 and 1995, a calibration campaign was carried out at a water intake in the Pitzbach mountain stream in Austria, where weighing cells and a water pressure sensor in the ...
Bedload deficit: if the sediment supply is smaller than the minimum transport capacity in a river section, the river erodes and transports additional material from its bed. This may result in riverbed incision. - Bedload equilibrium: the sediment supply equals the transport capacity of the river...
The first such experiment was carried out by Govi et al. [1993], using several seismometers in the immediate vicinity of the considered test area. This easy-to-implement technique allows for a near-real time monitoring of bed load sediment transport. The potential of this so-called fluvial ...
The rate of bed load transport in weight per unit width is computed using Shields equation. The mathematical model has been developed using effective shear stress and bed load. The statistical analysis, multiple regression and curve fitting (by nonlinear square fitter) is carried out by using ...
stream temperature, and nutrient transport. There is a mutual feedback relationship among these different aspects. Environmental management of rivers requires an understanding of the various processes and predictive capabilities of models [2]. This is even more important considering that efforts are curre...
In order to increase the capacity (F), while aiming at a furnace that retains a reasonable cross section (A), the fluidization velocity has to be increased. Then, the bed particles tend to be carried away by the gas, and the bed disappears. The remedy to avoid the disappearance of the...
Partial nitritation-anammox (PNA) is a biological nitrogen removal process commonly used in wastewater treatment plants for the treatment of warm and nitrogen-rich sludge liquor from anaerobic digestion, often referred to as sidestream wastewater. In these systems, biofilms are frequently used to retai...
Granular bed filters are basically large bins containing a quantity of a granular material, often limestone or alumina, through which a stream of gas is forced. From: Biomass and Bioenergy, 2002 About this pageSet alert Discover other topics On this page Definition Chapters and Articles Related ...
Moving away from the inlet, there is a viscous drag region where particles tend to settle downward as they are carried by the flowing fluid through the slot. At a sufficient distance from the inlet, the thickness of the viscous drag region goes to zero, and particle transport is dominated ...
