    The Study of Microstructure and Phase Transformations in MP210 Superalloy

    , M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology Abouali, Sara (Author) ; Asgari, Sirous (Supervisor)
    Abstract
    MP210 alloy is a member of multiphase family alloys, a class of wrought nickel-cobalt base alloys extensively used in high-quality applications including aerospace fasteners, gas turbine engines and petrochemical industry. Very limited information can be found in the literature about the microstructure and phase transformations of this alloy. The aim of this work is characterizing the aging response of the material and identifying the major strengthening phases precipitated in different range of temperatures and also studying the static recrystallization behavior of this alloy. The effect of age-hardening heat-treatment on the microstructure of MP210 superalloy was investigated using... 

    Electrodeposition of graphite-bronze composite coatings and study of electroplating characteristics

    , Article Surface and Coatings Technology ; Volume 187, Issue 2-3 , 2004 , Pages 293-299 ; 02578972 (ISSN) Afshar, A ; Ghorbani, M ; Mazaheri, M ; Sharif University of Technology

    Abstract
    The aim of this research is to obtain composite coatings of bronze (90% Cu-10% Sn) with graphite particles. The electrodeposition of G-Cu (Sn) composites from an alkaline bath containing cyanide is described. Composite coatings consisting of graphite particles and copper-tin were prepared by means of the conventional electrocodeposition (CECD) and sediment codeposition (SCD) techniques. The graphite particles involved were less than 10 μm. The dependence of graphite amount in the composite coatings was investigated in relation to the graphite concentration in bath, cathode current density, stir rate and technique type and it was shown that these parameters strongly affected the volume... 

    Application of unit response approach for spatial prioritization of runoff and sediment sources

    , Article Agricultural Water Management ; Volume 109 , 2012 , Pages 36-45 ; 03783774 (ISSN) Saghafian, B ; Sima, S ; Sadeghi, S ; Jeirani, F ; Sharif University of Technology
    2012
    Abstract
    Evaluation and control of suspended sediment load as one of the main water quality concerns is important in large basins, especially in basins with planned dam construction. Success in sediment control measures depends, in particular, on proper identification of sediment sources. Since observations alone are normally not adequate for source prioritization/contribution in relation to the downstream sediment loads, hydrological simulation tools may be applied for spatial prioritization of runoff and sediment yield in basins. In this paper, subbasin prioritization was conducted for the Gharasu basin, located in southwestern Iran. Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) model was calibrated and... 

    Effect of an obstacle on the depositional behaviour of turbidity currents

    Abstract
    Turbidity currents are responsible for much of the sedimentation in reservoirs. In order to control these flows, various methods such as placing an obstacle in their path have been proposed. In this study, the effect of inlet sediment concentration and obstacle height on the behaviour of turbidity currents is investigated experimentally. For this purpose, some experiments were carried out with different inlet concentrations and various obstacle heights. Velocity and concentration profiles were measured using an acoustic Doppler velocimeter. To examine the depositional behaviour of turbidity current, suspended sediment flux was calculated using velocity and concentration profiles of the... 

    Application of the WEPP model to determine sources of run-off and sediment in a forested watershed

    , Article Hydrological Processes ; Volume 29, Issue 4 , 2015 , Pages 481-497 ; 08856087 (ISSN) Saghafian, B ; Meghdadi, A. R ; Sima, S ; Sharif University of Technology

    Abstract
    This study investigates critical run-off and sediment production sources in a forested Kasilian watershed located in northern Iran. The Water Erosion Prediction Project (WEPP) watershed model was set up to simulate the run-off and sediment yields. WEPP was calibrated and validated against measured rainfall-run-off-sediment data. Results showed that simulated run-off and sediment yields of the watershed were in agreement with the measured data for the calibration and validation periods. While low and medium values of run-off and sediment yields were adequately simulated by the WEPP model, high run-off and sediment yield values were underestimated. Performance of the model was evaluated as...

The experiments were done by use of the standard... 

    Experimental study of obstacle effect on sediment transport of turbidity currents

    , Article Journal of Hydraulic Research ; Volume 56, Issue 5 , 2018 , Pages 618-629 ; 00221686 (ISSN) Abhari, M. N ; Iranshahi, M ; Ghodsian, M ; Firoozabadi, B ; Sharif University of Technology
    Taylor and Francis Ltd  2018
    Abstract
    The effects of an obstacle on the suspended load transport rate of supercritical turbidity currents were investigated experimentally. A Vectrino velocity meter was used to measure velocity and sediment concentration profiles. The effects of important parameters including inlet discharge, mean inlet sediment concentration and obstacle height on suspended load transport rate were investigated. In the upstream velocity profiles, the obstacle generates the reflected and the interface regions in addition to the wall and the jet regions. The average amount of suspended load transport rate downstream of the obstacle decreases to about 92%. This confirms the depositional behaviour of turbidity... 

    Effects of density currents on sedimentation in reservoirs

    , Article Scientia Iranica ; Volume 14, Issue 5 , 2007 , Pages 395-404 ; 10263098 (ISSN) Mohammadnezhad, B. A ; Shamsai, A ; Sharif University of Technology

    Abstract
    The development of density or turbidity currents causes serious problems for environmental hydraulics in reservoirs. The stream entered to a reservoir can carry sediments, nutrients and chemicals as density or turbidity currents. The fate of sediment and other substances transported by the current depends on the characteristics of the turbidity current itself, i.e. the velocity of fluid, the amount of mixing with reservoir water and the rates of sediment deposition and resuspension. These are important factors for water quality in reservoirs. A two-dimensional, depth-averaged, finite-volume numerical model is developed to study density currents, driven by non-cohesive sediments. The model... 

    Experimental study of scour due to breaking waves in front of vertical - Wall breakwaters

    , Article 23rd International Conference on Offshore Mechanics and Arctic Engineering, Vancouver, BC, 20 June 2004 through 25 June 2004 ; Volume 3 , 2004 , Pages 563-566 Hasanzadeh Daloui, A ; Jamali, M ; Sharif University of Technology

    Abstract
    Scour is an important cause of instability of breakwaters. In case of vertical-wall breakwaters, toe scour can cause collapse of the whole structure. This paper is concerned with an experimental study of the effects of regular breaking waves on scour at toe of vertical-wall breakwaters. Experiments were carried out in a wave flume with regular waves for two cases of a beach with and without a breakwater. Bed profiles and scour depths for various wave heights, periods and depths were recorded. For the case of a beach without a breakwater, the observed bed profile types are compared to predictions. For the case of a beach with a breakwater, factors affecting the scour are investigated, and an...

    Effect of selected parameters on the depositional behaviour of turbidity currents

    , Article Journal of Hydraulic Research ; Volume 50, Issue 1 , Dec , 2012 , Pages 60-69 ; 00221686 (ISSN) Khavasi, E ; Afshin, H ; Firoozabadi, B ; Sharif University of Technology
    2012
    Abstract
    Turbidity currents containing kaolin particles were studied experimentally in a channel and the velocity and concentration profiles were measured using an acoustic Doppler velocimeter. These experiments were performed to investigate the depositional behaviour of turbidity currents. The suspended sediment flux was evaluated by experimental and analytical methods and the results of these two methods were in a good agreement. To evaluate the suspended sediment flux, it was necessary to recognize the suspended sediment zone from the upper shear layer region and near the bed depositional area as well. The method of determination of these areas is discussed. The effects of important parameters... 

    Sediment yield in the Daryacheh-Namak drainage basin, Iran, and its relation to land-use changes

    , Article IAHS-AISH Publication, 11 July 2007 through 13 July 2007, Perugia ; Issue 314 , 2007 , Pages 306-311 ; 01447815 (ISSN) ; 9781901502145 (ISBN) Feiznia, S ; Mohammadi, A ; Zakikhani, S ; Sharif University of Technology
    2007
    Abstract
    Monthly and annual variations in sediment yield during a 24-year period were analysed for 10 sub-catchments in the Daryacheh-Namak drainage basin, Iran. Highest specific suspended sediment yields were recorded at Razin and the lowest at Solan, reflecting large land-use changes in the former, and the presence of relatively resistant formations in thelatter sub-catchment. Highest sediment yields were observed in the months of April, March, May and November, and the lowest in September and August. At almost all stations, the highest sediment yield occurs in the spring, reflecting higher rainfall in that season. Copyright © 2007 IAHS Press  

    Experimental investigation of baffle effect on the flow in a rectangular primary sedimentation tank

    , Article Scientia Iranica ; Volume 17, Issue 4 B , 2010 , Pages 241-252 ; 10263098 (ISSN) Jamshidnia, H ; Firoozabadi, B ; Sharif University of Technology

    Abstract
    In primary sedimentation tanks, short-circuiting enlargement of dead zones and high flow mixing problems are caused by circulation regions (dead zones), which can reduce the optimal sedimentation of particles. For proper design of such tanks, the formation of recirculation zones should be avoided. The provision of a baffle as a geometrical modification of a tank may influence the flow field for better sedimentation. Thus, in this study, velocity measurements were performed by a three-dimensional Acoustic Doppler Velocimeter (ADV) to investigate baffle effects on the velocity distribution in a primary rectangular sedimentation tank, quantitatively. Effects of baffle positioning were also... 

    Numerical Modeling of Sediment Transport in Souza Gheshm Island

    , M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology Amirshaghaghi, Sayeh (Author) ; Raie, Mohammad (Supervisor) ; Ataei Ashtiani, Behzad (Supervisor)
    Abstract
    Complicated theories dominated toward interacting of coastal regions resulted from its nature. Besides of that interference of human activities for acquiring beneficial aspects of shorelines causes environmental considerations to be challenged. One of the main factors for resolving this challenge is to obtain adequate information from hydrodynamic process and sediment regime. In spite of scientific researches that carried out along past three decades for understanding the exact mechanism of along shore sediment transport, it was not fully developed. One of the main reasons of uncertainty for forecasting the sediment regime regarded not exact knowledge of how sediment act in different... 

    Analysis of threshold and incipient conditions for sediment movement

    , Article Coastal Engineering ; Volume 55, Issue 5 , 2008 , Pages 423-430 ; 03783839 (ISSN) Beheshti, A. A ; Ataie Ashtiani, B ; Sharif University of Technology
    2008
    Abstract
    Prediction of threshold conditions and incipient motion is the essential issue for the study of sediment transport. This work compares existing empirical threshold curves proposed for Shields diagram, a method based on the concept of probability of sediment movement, and an empirical method based on movability number. These methods are used to predict the incipient motion conditions for experimental runs taken from various studies. Most of the experimental data, used in this work, have not been used before in derivation of alternative formulations for Shields diagram and other methods. The empirical threshold curves based on the Shields entrainment function was the least successful at... 

    Clay-plug sediment as the locus of arsenic pollution in Holocene alluvial-plain aquifers

    , Article Catena ; Volume 202 , 2021 ; 03418162 (ISSN) Kumar, S ; Ghosh, D ; Donselaar, M. E ; Burgers, F ; Ghosh, A. K ; Sharif University of Technology
    Elsevier B.V  2021
    Abstract
    Shallow aquifers in many Holocene alluvial basins around the world have in the last three decades been identified as arsenic pollution hotspots, in which the spatial variation of natural (or: geogenic) arsenic concentration is conditioned by the meandering-river geomorphology and the fluvial lithofacies distribution. Despite the large amount of publications on the specifics of the pollution, still many uncertainties remain as to the provenance and processes that lead to arsenic enrichment in aquifers. In this paper, arsenic in abandoned and sediment-filled meandering-river bends (or: clay-plugs) is highlighted as a primary source of aquifer pollution. The combination of high organic-carbon... 

    Scouring Contol by Submerged Vanes at 90° Open-Channel Junctions

    , M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology Kazemi, Fatemeh (Author) ; Borghei, Mahmoud (Supervisor)
    Abstract
    In this study, the effect of submerged vanes on the bed scouring and deposition pattern at a 90̊ open-channel junction was investigated. First, the bed formation without submerged vanes were studied under the effect of hydraulic variables like the discharge ratio of tributary to main channel and the ratio of mean approach velocity to the threshold velocity. The results show that scour holes enlarge with time while they move towards the downstream and the outer wall in the main channel. Also, by increasing the ratio of mean approach velocity to the threshold velocity about 0.5, the maximum scour depth occurred at the downstream junction corner with time. In the second stage, the proper vane... 

    Experimental Study & Mathematical Modeling of Asphaltene Deposition in Porous Media

    , Ph.D. Dissertation Sharif University of Technology Bagheri, Mohammad Bagher (Author) ; Kharrat, Riyaz (Supervisor) ; Ghotbi, Siroos (Supervisor)
    Abstract
    Asphaltene precipitation and deposition may cause severe problems during different stages of oil recovery. All proposed remediation techniques have proven costly and not highly effective, so prevention becomes the most beneficial way to counteract the problem. Revelation of the deposition mechanism and determination of the parameters are necessary in order to devise reliable prevention strategies.This work presents results of the effect of lean gas and CO2 injection process as well as natural depletion on dynamic asphaltene precipitation and deposition. In addition sets of experiments were performed in the same porous media using STO and solvent (with different volume ratios) to investigate... 

    Evaluation of Permeable Pavement in Removing Pollutants from Surface Runoff

    , M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology kamali, Meysam (Author) ; Tajrishi, Masoud (Supervisor) ; Nazari Alavi, Alireza (Supervisor)
    Abstract
    Urbanization expansion increases impermeable surfaces and ultimately produces more runoff from urban surfaces. The runoff in the urban streets moves the pollution with high levels from the city and then collects into channels where they are transported into the water courses. The most important factor in runoff polluting is sediments. If you remove sediments from runoff, their quality will be improved. One of the effective systems to reduce sediments from the surface runoff is permeable pavement. In this study a simulator system is used. The sample of permeable pavement analysed consisted of two layers of geotextile beddig, filter granular layer (2.36 to 4.75mm), subbase granular layer (4.75...
