Low Head Hydropower for Local Energy Solutions

Low Head Hydropower for Local Energy Solutions

The role of small hydropower is becoming increasingly important on a global level. Increasing energy demand and environmental awareness has further triggered research and development into sustainable low-cost technologies. In developing countries particularly in rural areas the possibility of local power generation could considerably improve living conditions. With this in mind the development of a next generation low-head hydropower machines was subject of investigation in the EU-project HYLOW. Being part of the research lines of that project this thesis presents a numerical modelling approach to improve the design of machines like water wheels for increased hydraulic efficiency. Nowadays Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) enables numerical models to be quite accurate and incorporate physical complexities like free surfaces and rotating machines. The results of the CFD simulations carried out in this research show that a change in blade geometry can result in higher torque levels thereby increasing performance. Numerical simulations also enabled to determine the optimal wheel-width to channel-width ratio and further improve performance by modifying the channel bed conditions upstream and downstream of the water wheel. With a power rating in the low kilowatt range low-head hydropower machines like optimised water wheels seem to have a clear potential for small-scale energy generation thereby contributing to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals by providing local energy solutions. | Low Head Hydropower for Local Energy Solutions

Soil Engineering Testing Design and Remediation

Soil Engineering Testing Design and Remediation

In the last forty years at least fifty books have been written on the subject of soil mechanics most of them textbooks. Only a few touch on practical applications. Soil Engineering: Testing Design and Remediation supplies the information needed to fill the gap between textbook learning and practical know-how. When engineers deal with major projects such as the Teton Dam or the Leaning Tower of Pisa they need high-tech solutions. More often than not however they deal with the foundations for warehouses schools medium-rise buildings and residential structures projects that need low-tech solutions. Ninety percent of the time consulting engineers don't require mathematical treatment or computer analysis they require experience. Soil engineering problems cannot be resolved with textbook information alone. This book provides the practical meaning of the different aspects of soil mechanics the use of unconfined compression test data the meaning of consolidated tests the practical value of lateral pressure and more. In addition to the technical aspects of foundation investigation in the real world the shadow of litigation looms over every consultant's head. The author covers legal issues in detail. After several years in foundation investigation most consultants realize that soil engineering is a combination of art and science. Soil Engineering: Testing Design and Remediation demystifies this connection and supplies real-world examples of practical applications. This hands-on ready reference will be essential tool for any consultant working in the field. | Soil Engineering Testing Design and Remediation

Moving Loads – Dynamic Analysis and Identification Techniques Structures and Infrastructures Book Series Vol. 8

Moving Loads – Dynamic Analysis and Identification Techniques Structures and Infrastructures Book Series Vol. 8

The interaction phenomenon is very common between different components of a mechanical system. It is a natural phenomenon and is found with the impact force in aircraft landing; the estimation of degree of ripeness of an apple from impact on a beam; the interaction of the magnetic head of a computer disk leading to miniature development of modern computer; etc. Uncertainty in some of them would lead to inaccurate analysis results on the behavior of the structure. The interaction force is difficult to measure unless instruments have been installed during construction for this purpose. Some of the interaction problems are difficult to quantify due to the lack of thorough knowledge on the interaction behavior. Analytical skills are required to estimate the interaction forces of the mechanical system in order to enable advanced developments in different areas of modern technology. This volume provides a comprehensive treatment on this topic with the vehicle-bridge system for an illustration of the moving load problem. It covers a whole range of topics including mathematical concepts of the moving load problems with continuous beams and plates vehicle-bridge interaction dynamics weigh-in-motion techniques moving load identification algorithms in the frequency-time domain in the time domain and in the state space domain techniques based on the generalized orthogonal function expansion and on the finite element formulation. The methods and algorithms can be implemented for on-line identification of the interaction forces. This book is intended for structural engineers and advanced students who wish to explore the benefit of interaction phenomenon and techniques for identification of such interaction forces. It is also recommended for researchers and decision makers working on the operation and maintenance of major infrastructures and engineering facilities. | Moving Loads – Dynamic Analysis and Identification Techniques Structures and Infrastructures Book Series Vol. 8
