Gate Driving Mechanisms and Dynamics

Vertical sliding valves that are part of a filling and emptying system of a lock are often subjected to an underflow of water during emptying and filling. The flow induces time varying forces on the structure which leads to dynamic behaviour of the valve. Whether the structure is in the range of resonance and what the amplitude of the vibrations...

Determination whether a large scale Tesla valve could be applicable as a fish passage

Additional Thesis - All around the world many species are dying out locally or entirely due to interferences in their habitats. One of the big problems for marine life is the creation of migration barriers which preclude migrating species to complete their life cycle.Fish passages are a way for migrating species to get around obstructions in a...
