Effect of the junction angle on turbulent flow at a hydraulic confluence
2018
Despite the existing knowledge concerning the hydrodynamic processes at river junctions, there is still a lack of information regarding the particular case of low width and discharge ratios, which are the typical conditions of mountain river confluences. Aiming at filling this gap, laboratory and numerical experiments were conducted, comparing the results with literature findings. Ten different confluences from 45 ∘ to 90 ∘ were simulated to study the effects of the junction angle on the flow structure, using a numerical code that solves the 3D Reynolds Averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) equations with the k- ϵ turbulence closure model. The results showed that the higher the junction angle, the …
Estimating the hydrodynamic and morphodynamic characteristics using Entropy theory at the confluence of Negro and Solimões Rivers
2021
When two mega rivers merge the mixing of two flows results in a highly complex threedimensional flow structure in an area known as the confluence hydrodynamic zone.
Le mobilier archéologique de l’habitat du Hallstatt final à Écuelles « Charmoy » (Seine-et-Marne)
2005
The Ecuelles Charmoy site is one of the first Late Hallstatt settlements to be discovered on the edge of the plateau that dominates the Seine-Yonne confluence. In use for only a short period at the end of the 5th and during the first half of the 4th century BC, the site includes postholed buildings, storage pits and other structures in an organized domestic space. The pottery, especially the painted ware, is particularly abundant in the storage pits and constitutes a reference of local ware and its production. Also the traces of metalworking found on the site, be it the reduction of iron or the crafting of moulded bronze jewellery, renews our knowledge of the function and vocation of such a…
Enceintes néolithiques de Bourgogne
2002
L'article fait le point sur les enceintes néolithiques identifiées dans les départements bourguignons, principalement Yonne et Côte d'Or. On dénombre ainsi environ 180 sites aménagés défensivement. En plaine, les enceintes privilégient l'installation le long des cours d'eau principaux (Yonne, Armançon, Serein, cours amont de la Saône), à la confluence avec un ru de moindre importance dont le bassin versant s'ouvre sur un "arrière pays" qui offre des opportunités d'échanges. Ainsi s'esquisse un modèle d'occupation du territoire qui débute avec le Cerny et qui évolue jusqu'au Néolithique récent.
Symmetry of root and root canal morphology of mandibular incisors: A cone-beam computed tomography study
2019
Background Aim of this study was to analyze the root canal configuration in mandibular central and lateral incisors in vivo using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) imaging. Material and methods A total of 487 mandibular central incisors and 491 mandibular lateral incisors from 250 patients were examined using CBCT imaging, previously taken for diagnosis and treatment. The number of roots, root canal system configuration, presence of apical confluences, distance between confluences and radiographic root end, symmetry between left and right elements were recorded and statistically analyzed. Results All the examined teeth presented only one root. No significant differences were found betwee…
A decidable word problem without equivalent canonical term rewriting system
1989
We present a weak associative single-axiom system having the following property: the word problem is decidable with an efficient algorithm even though there does not exist any finite equivalent canonical term rewriting system.
Prediction of river discharges at confluences based on Entropy theory and surface-velocity measurements
2022
Hydrodynamic features of the confluence zone of large rivers are complicated because of their three-dimensional flow structure. The confluence between the Rio Negro and the Rio Solimões, characterised by black and white waters, respectively, ranks among the largest river junctions on Earth. An Entropy-based investigation was carried out to assess the discharge and analyse the 2D structure of velocity distribution for large river flows relying on monitoring of near-surface velocity only. The estimated flow data where compared with in-situ ADCP data gathered across some transects of the Negro and Solimões rivers during both low and relatively high flow conditions. Results are illustrated thro…
