Review of degradation and failure phenomena in photovoltaic modules

The degradation of photovoltaic (PV) systems is one of the key factors to address in order to reduce the cost of the electricity produced by increasing the operational lifetime of PV systems. To reduce the degradation, it is imperative to know the degradat ...

A Novel Method for River Bank Detection from Landsat Satellite Data: A Case Study in the Vietnamese Mekong Delta

Giovanni De Cesare, Sameh Ahmad Kantoush

River bank (RB) erosion is a global issue aecting livelihoods and properties of millions of people. However, it has not received enough attention in the Vietnamese Mekong Delta (VMD), i.e., the world’s third largest delta, compared to salinity intrusion an ...

Influence of geometry shape factor on trapping and flushing efficiencies

Anton Schleiss, Sameh Ahmad Kantoush

The trap efficiency of a shallow reservoir depends on the characteristics of the inflowing sediments and the retention time of the water in the reservoir, which in turn are controlled by the reservoir geometry. With the purpose of controlling the trapped a ...

LSPIV implementation for environmental flow in various laboratory and field cases

Anton Schleiss, Sameh Ahmad Kantoush

Large-Scale Particle Image Velocimetry (LSPIV) is an extension of a quantitative imaging technique to measure water surface velocities using simple and inexpensive equipment. This paper describes the implementation of imaged-based LSPIV in eight different ...

Channel formation during flushing of large shallow reservoirs with different geometries

Anton Schleiss, Sameh Ahmad Kantoush

Depositional and flow patterns are first described to gain an understanding of the erosion patterns during hydraulic flushing in a reservoir. Considering the importance of this issue, two modes of flushing operation for control of sedimentation were perfor ...

Large-scale PIV surface flow measurements in shallow basins with different geometries

Anton Schleiss, Sameh Ahmad Kantoush

Shallow depth flow fields and low velocity magnitudes are often challenges for traditional velocity measuring instruments. As such, new techniques have been developed that provide more reliable velocity measurements under these circumstances. In the presen ...

Deposition of sediment mixture due to jet effluent into a rectangular shallow reservoir

Anton Schleiss, Sameh Ahmad Kantoush

Shallow reservoirs are threatened by fast filling up with sediments, even if the entering sediments are only suspended loads. The sedimentation process is strongly influenced by the geometry of such shallow reservoirs. In the framework of a research projec ...

Flow field investigation in a rectangular shallow reservoir using UVP, LSPIV and numerical modelling

Giovanni De Cesare, Anton Schleiss, Sameh Ahmad Kantoush

Low velocity and shallow-depth flow fields often are a challenge to most velocity measuring instruments. In the framework of a research project on reservoir sedimentation, the influence of the reservoir geometry on sediment transport and deposition was stu ...

Evolution of sediment deposition and flow patterns in a rectangular shallow reservoir under suspended sediment load

Anton Schleiss, Sameh Ahmad Kantoush

The deposition behavior of fine sediment is an important phenomenon, which remains unclear to engineers concerned about reservoir sedimentation. In the present case bed level changes, suspended sediment concentrations, and flow velocities were measured in ...

Experimental study on the influence of the geometry of shallow reservoirs on flow patterns and sedimentation by suspended sediments

Sameh Ahmad Kantoush

The worst enemy of sustainable use of reservoirs is sedimentation. Often the main silting process is the result of settling down of suspended sediments. In shallow reservoirs the flow pattern and the sediment deposition processes are strongly influenced by ...
