Experimental investigation of coarse particle conveying in pipes
Vlasák, Pavel; Chára, Zdeněk; Konfršt, Jiří; Krupička, Jan
2014 - English
The advanced knowledge of particle-water mixture flow behaviour is important for safe, reliable, and economical design and operation of the freight pipelines. The effect of the mixture velocity and concentration on the coarse particle – water mixtures flow behaviour was experimentally investigated on an experimental pipe loop of inner diameter D = 100 mm with horizontal, vertical, and inclined pipe sections. Narrow particle size distribution basalt pebbles were used as model of coarse-grained solid particles. The radiometric method was used to measure particle concentration distribution in pipe cross-section. Mixture flow behaviour and particles motion along the pipe invert were studied in a pipe viewing section. The study revealed that the coarse particlewater mixtures in the horizontal and inclined pipe sections were significantly stratified. The particles moved principally in a layer close to the pipe invert. However, for higher and moderate flow velocities the particles moved also in the central part of the pipe cross-section, and particle saltation was found to be dominant mode of particle conveying.

Čejková, E.; Sněhota, M.; Tesař, Miroslav; Dohnal, M.
2014 - Czech
Příspěvek se zabývá sledováním režimu půdní vlhkosti v horské lokalitě Roklan, která se nachází v první zóně Národního parku Šumava. Smrková monokultura v této lokalitě byla v minulých letech napadena kůrovcem a poté ponechána přirozené regeneraci. Od listopadu 2011 až dosud zde probíhá měření hydropedologických a meteorologických veličin. V příspěvku jsou uvedeny základní hydropedologické charakteristiky půdy v lokalitě Roklan, porovnáno stanovení objemové vlhkosti půdy měřené TDR čidly a získané přepočtem z tlakových výšek měřenými tenzometry s využitím v laboratoři měřených retenčních křivek. Dále je provedeno grafické zpracování a diskuze dat objemové vlhkosti a tlakové výšky během dvou vybraných srážkových epizod. Contribution focuses on soil water regime in the mountainous site Roklan, which is located in the first zone of the National Park Sumava. Spruce monoculture forest in the location was devastated by bark beetle and then left to natural regeneration. The soil hydrological and meteorological monitoring is performed since 2011. Presented paper reports on soil hydraulic properties of the soil from the site. Then, the TDR water contents data collected in the site are compared with the water content data obtained by calculation from the pressure head data using the known water retention curves. The data for two selected rain episodes are presented in detail and results are discussed.

Rainfall interception in a mature spruce forest – a case study
Černý, T.; Dohnal, M.; Tesař, Miroslav; Votrubová, J.
2014 - English
During rainfall events, an appreciable part of the precipitation is intercepted by the vegetation surfaces. This part of rainfall, usually called interception capacity of the surface, is subsequently evaporated back to the atmosphere. Currently available distributed hydrological models require detailed knowledge of all components of hydrological cycle, including the interception and key parameters affecting its amount and rate of evaporation. In the present study the interception of the spruce forest canopy at an experimental catchment in the Bohemian Forest is examined.

Vliv extrémních srážek na vymývání draselného a sodného iontu z povodí Liz v období 2002–2009
Vondrka, A.; Tesař, Miroslav; Šír, M.
2014 - Czech
V posledních padesáti letech došlo na území ČR ke globálnímu nárůstu teplot ovzduší, a to asi o 0,16 až 0,33 °C za dekádu. Současně je pozorována extremalizace hydrologického cyklu, která se projevuje v teplém období roku výskytem krátkodobých srážek o vysokém úhrnu a výskytem dlouhých teplých a bezdeštných období, ve kterých významně klesá vodnost zejména malých toků. Všechny tyto jevy silně ovlivňují intenzitu vymývání sodíku a draslíku z půdy a podloží. Vzniká proto otázka, zda lze nalézt nějakou souvislost mezi oteplováním klimatu a ochuzováním povodí o kationy sodíku a draslíku (Vondrka et al., 2013). Extreme rains strongly influence the intensity of leaching of sodium and potassium from the soil cover. The question therefore arises whether it is possible to find some connection between extreme rains and sodium and potassium leaching. During the period of 2002-2009, measurement of rainfall, runoff, and chemical data on catchment Liz (Czech Republic, Bohemian Forest, 828–1074 m a. s. l., mature spruce forest, Podzolic Eutric Cambisol) gave the following conclusions about the washout of potassium and sodium ion from the basin: (1) In monthly periods, extreme loss of both potassium and sodium ions correlated with high precipitation amounts. (2) In annual periods, only extreme loss of sodium ions correlated with high precipitation amounts.

Concentration distribution of coarse-grained particle-water mixture in horizontal pipe
Vlasák, Pavel; Chára, Zdeněk; Konfršt, Jiří; Krupička, Jan
2014 - English
The paper describes the results of coarse-grained particle-water mixture measurements in an experimental pipeline loop of inner diameter 100 mm. Graded basalt pebbles of mean diameter 11 mm, conveyed by water, were investigated. The concentration distribution measurements were carried out with application of gamma-ray based device. Presented results refer to the effect of mixture velocity and overall concentration on chord-averaged concentration and local concentration distribution in the horizontal pipe. The study revealed that the coarse-grained particle-water mixtures were significantly stratified, solid particles moved principally close to the pipe invert, for higher and moderate flow velocities saltation becomes dominant mode of the sediment transport.

Some results of theoretical and experimental studies on slurry flows of coarse solid materials in vertical pipelines
Berman, V.; Kril, S.; Vlasák, Pavel
2014 - English
The paper presents the results of theoretical and experimental investigations of the pressure gradient for flow of a mixture of large solids particles and water in straight vertical pipelines. The mathematical model of vertical two-phase flow was developed. Based on the developed model and experimental data of the solid particles liquid and liquid relative velocity, the functional dependence of the pressure gradient on the corresponding parameters was derived. This method was generalized for hydraulic transport of a broad category of solid particles conveyed in water as a function of the average size and concentration. Comparisons of our computations with experimental data for the corresponding pressure gradients are also presented.

Flow of coarse-grained particles-water mixture in pipes
Vlasák, Pavel; Chára, Zdeněk; Konfršt, Jiří; Krupička, Jan
2014 - English
The advanced knowledge of coarse-grained slurry flow behavior is important for safe, reliable, and economical design and operation of the pipeline transport. The effect of the mixture velocity, solid concentration, and pipe inclination on the coarse-grained particle – water mixtures flow behavior and pressure drop in the turbulent flow regime was experimentally studied in horizontal, vertical, and inclined pipe of inner diameter D = 100 mm. The respective experimental methods, including radiometric methods for particle concentration distribution in pipe cross-section, were used. Graded basalt gravel was used as a model of solid particles. Concentration distribution in the pipe cross-section and motion of particles along the horizontal pipe invert were also studied. The study revealed that the coarse-grained particle-water mixtures in the horizontal and inclined pipes were significantly stratified. The particles moved principally in a layer close to the pipe invert. However, for higher and moderate flow velocities particle saltation becomes dominant mode of particle conveying and particles moved also in the central and upper part of the pipe cross-section.

Simulation of particle motion in a closed conduit validated against experimental data
Dolanský, Jindřich
2014 - English
Motion of a number of spherical particles in a closed conduit is examined by means of both simulation and experiment. The bed of the conduit is covered by stationary spherical particles of the size of the moving particles. The flow is driven by experimentally measured velocity profiles which are inputs of the simulation. Altering input velocity profiles generates various trajectory patterns. The lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) based simulation is developed to study mutual interactions of the flow and the particles. The simulation enables to model both the particle motion and the fluid flow. The entropic LBM is employed to deal with the flow characterized by the high Reynolds number. The entropic modification of the LBM along with the enhanced refinement of the lattice grid yield an increase in demands on computational resources. Due to the inherently parallel nature of the LBM it can be handled by employing the Parallel Computing Toolbox (MATLAB) and other transformations enabling usage of the CUDA GPU computing technology. The trajectories of the particles determined within the LBM simulation are validated against data gained from the experiments. The compatibility of the simulation results with the outputs of experimental measurements is evaluated. The accuracy of the applied approach is assessed and stability and efficiency of the simulation is also considered.

Kernel density estimates used in stochastic precipitation generator
Hnilica, Jan; Puš, V.
2014 - English
The kernel density estimates were tested to be suitable to describe the probability distribution of daily precipitation sums. For this purpose, a stochastic precipitation generator using the kernel density estimates was constructed and it was compared with the LARS-WG generator. The data from meteorological stations from the Cidlina river basin were used to evaluate the performances of the generators. It was found that the kernel density estimates capture the probability density better than histograms used in LARS-WG.

Testování parametrizací složek dlouhovlnného záření v podmínkách malého šumavského povodí
Muller, J.; Dohnal, M.; Tesař, Miroslav
2014 - Czech
Dlouhovlnné záření je významnou, zřídkakdy měřenou, částí radiační bilance zemského povrchu. Dopadající a vyzářené dlouhovlnné záření jsou často odhadovány z empirických vztahů s řadou kalibračních koeficientů. Při testování dostupných parametrizací složek dlouhovlnného záření v podmínkách malého horského povodí se podařilo prokázat spolehlivost a robustnost výpočtu vyzářeného dlouhovlnného záření. Naproti tomu odhad čistého dlouhovlnného záření je zatížen značnou nejistotou, kterou se nepodařilo zmenšit ani kalibrací příslušných koeficientů. The incoming and outgoing longwave radiations are often estimated from empirical relationships with a number of calibration coefficients. When testing the parameterization of available components of longwave radiation in the frame of a small mountaineous catchment we were able to demonstrate the reliability and robustness of calculating the outgoing longwave radiation. The estimate of net longwave radiation is burdened by considerable uncertainty, which could not be reduced by calibration of the coefficients.
