Their topics include artificial intelligence techniques for hydrological modeling and management, the performance and adsorption mechanisms of chitosan as an adsorbent for heavy metal ions, the best model for deterministic rainfall-runoff modeling, and Reynolds stress modeling of turbulent open-channel flows.
The main contribution to the pressure loss in turbulent flow is caused by the Reynolds stress that shows a completely different behavior than the stress behavior that leads to friction in laminar flows.
