This study focuses on on-site and remote digital data collection methods that can be adopted during the pandemic. The method of research and data collection often re

The primary challenge for river managers in handling open-channel bifurcations is the prediction of the discharge distribution to downstream branches. In this study, we aimed to summarize and complete the available database and empirical correlations for T-shape bifurcations at 90°, both in subcritical and transcritical flow regimes, in equal and

In this study, a duct is considered and special attention is paid to a passive method for the control of the base pressure relying on the use of a cavity with a variable aspect ratio. The Mach number considered is 1.8, and the area ratio of the duct is 2.56. In particular, two cavities are examined, their sizes being 3:3 and 6:3. The used L/D spans

Metal-based compounds consist of an organic substituent as the ligand and an inorganic substituent as the metal center. Natural products, particularly natural extract, are well known to exhibit excellent biological activities, while the inorganic substituents are usually metal ions. Metal ions, especially transition metals, exhibit different oxidat
