Sequent depth ratio of B-jumps on smooth and rough beds
2013
A hydraulic B-jump has the toe section located on a positively sloping upstream channel and the roller end on a downstream horizontal channel. This paper analyses the B-jump on a rough bed, such as at the transition from a block ramp to the stilling basin. Laboratory measurements of the sequent depth were carried out using three different channel slopes for the rough bed and a single slope for the smooth bed. A solution useful for estimating the sequent depth ratio in a rectangular channel for different relative roughness and bed slope is proposed and positively tested by the present measurements. This solution can also be used to estimate the sequent depth ratio of classical hydraulic jump…
MATHEMATICAL MODELLING OF SURFACE ROUGHNESS FOR EVALUATING THE EFFECTS OF WEDM CUTTING PARAMETERS
2020
Wire Electrical Discharge Machining is a cutting method used for obtaining parts with complex geometries or for cutting hard metals. In machining processes, it is necessary to obtain the desired surface quality in order to produce parts providing the required functioning. The surface quality also defines some mechanical properties of the product, such as wear resistance. Being such a considerable quality, surface quality is influenced by various parameters. It will be costly and time consuming to acquire the knowledge of appropriate cutting parameters. Unconventional technologies have not been sufficiently studied so far to provide such details. So, this рарer ѕeekѕ to emрhаѕіze the іmрortа…
Surface Topographies of Glaucoma Drainage Devices and Their Influence on Human Tenon Fibroblast Adhesion
2010
PURPOSE. This study was performed to investigate the surface topography of different glaucoma drainage devices and to determine the effects of surface roughness on cell adhesion of cultured human tenon fibroblasts.METHODS. The surface topography of four widely used devices (Ahmed FP7 and Ahmed S-2; New World Medical, Inc., Rancho Cucamonga, CA; Baerveldt BG101-350; Advanced Medical Optics, Irvine, CA; and Molteno S1; Molteno Ophthalmic Ltd., Dunedin, New Zealand) was investigated by scanning electron microscopy, and roughness was quantified by white-light confocal microscopy. Cells were grown for 72 hours on the surfaces of implants affixed to standard culture dishes. The cells were labeled…
