Effectiveness of Surge Flow Irrigation in Egypt Water Use Efficiency in Field Crop Production

Effectiveness of Surge Flow Irrigation in Egypt Water Use Efficiency in Field Crop Production

Egypt is a country of tremendous land resources but limited water resources The area of cultivated land is only 3. 2 per cent of the gross area. The river Nile is the main sources of water. In the recent years the Governement established large-scale agricultural projects in light of food security related to the population growth. Expansion of irrigated agriculture has to be predomantly relalized bt increasing the water use efficiency. In Egypt the dominant irrigation method is surface irrigation which covers approximately 83 per cent of the irrigated areas. Surface irrigation or gravity methods are generally characterized by a low efficiency. One opportunity to increase the efficiency is to convert surface irrigation to modern irrigation systems which are generaly highly expensive for a country like Egypt. Another option to increase the efficiency of surface irrigation systems is to convert the traditional irrigation method based on continuous flow to surge flow irrigation. Surge flow irrigation is the intermittent application of water to furrows in a series of relatively short on and off time periods. | Effectiveness of Surge Flow Irrigation in Egypt Water Use Efficiency in Field Crop Production

Compressible Flow with Application to Shocks and Propulsion is part of the series Mathematics and Physics for Science and Technology which combines rigorous mathematics with general physical principles to model practical engineering systems with a detailed derivation and interpretation of results. Volume V presents the mathematical theory of partial differential equations and methods of solution satisfying initial and boundary conditions and includes applications to: acoustic elastic water electromagnetic and other waves; the diffusion of heat mass and electricity; and their interactions. This is the second book of the volume. The first book of volume V starts with the classification of partial differential equations and proceeds with similarity methods that apply in general to linear equations with constant coefficients and all derivatives of the same order such as the Laplace and Biharmonic equations without and with forcing. The similarity solutions are also applied to Burger's non-linear diffusion equation. First-order linear and quasi-linear partial differential equations with variable coefficients are considered with application to the representation of conservative/non-conservative solenoidal/rotational and Beltrami/helical vector fields by one two or three scalar and/or one vector potential in relation with exact inexact and non-integrable differentials. The latter appear in the first and second principles of thermodynamics that specify the constitutive and diffusive properties of matter as concerns thermal mechanical elastic flow electrical magnetic and chemical phenomena and their interactions.

Modelling and Analysis of Fine Sediment Transport in Wave-Current Bottom Boundary Layer

Modelling and Analysis of Fine Sediment Transport in Wave-Current Bottom Boundary Layer

The evolution and utilization of estuarine and coastal regions are greatly restricted by sediment problems. This thesis aims to better understand fine sediment transport under combined action of waves and currents especially in the wave-current bottom boundary layer (BBL). Field observations experimental data analysis theoretical analysis and numerical models are employed. Silt-dominated sediments are sensitive to flow dynamics and the suspended sediment concentration (SSC) increase rapidly under strong flow dynamics. This research unveils several fundamental aspects of silty sediment i. e. the criterion of the incipient motion the SSC profiles and their phase-averaged parameterization in wave-dominated conditions. An expression for sediment incipient motion is proposed for silt-sand sediment under combined wave and current conditions. A process based intra-wave 1DV model for flow-sediment dynamics near the bed is developed in combined wave-current conditions. The high concentration layer (HCL) was simulated and sensitivity analysis was carried out by the 1DV model on factors that impact the SSC in the HCL. Finally based on the 1DV model the formulations of the mean SSC profile of silt-sand sediments in wave conditions were proposed. The developed approaches are expected to be applied in engineering practice and further simulation. | Modelling and Analysis of Fine Sediment Transport in Wave-Current Bottom Boundary Layer

Numerical Techniques for Direct and Large-Eddy Simulations

Numerical Techniques for Direct and Large-Eddy Simulations

Compared to the traditional modeling of computational fluid dynamics direct numerical simulation (DNS) and large-eddy simulation (LES) provide a very detailed solution of the flow field by offering enhanced capability in predicting the unsteady features of the flow field. In many cases DNS can obtain results that are impossible using any other means while LES can be employed as an advanced tool for practical applications. Focusing on the numerical needs arising from the applications of DNS and LES Numerical Techniques for Direct and Large-Eddy Simulations covers basic techniques for DNS and LES that can be applied to practical problems of flow turbulence and combustion. After introducing Navier–Stokes equations and the methodologies of DNS and LES the book discusses boundary conditions for DNS and LES along with time integration methods. It then describes the numerical techniques used in the DNS of incompressible and compressible flows. The book also presents LES techniques for simulating incompressible and compressible flows. The final chapter explores current challenges in DNS and LES. Helping readers understand the vast amount of literature in the field this book explains how to apply relevant numerical techniques for practical computational fluid dynamics simulations and implement these methods in fluid dynamics computer programs.
