ANSYS-CFX is an effective and multipurpose software which can be used for simulation the computational fluid dynamics (CFD) solutions at all levels of complexity. This software can be used for numerical solution of two and three dimensional flows, compressible and incompressible flows, viscous and non-viscous flows, laminar and turbulent flows, Newtonian and non-Newtonian flows, porous media, steady and unsteady and FIS by finite element method. Hydraulic control structure is one of the major components of irrigation and drainage systems. Circular crested weirs are extensively used in the hydraulic structures due to simple and relatively precise relationships.To evaluate the performance of ANSYS-CFX software in simulation the flow patterns over the weir crest, two different cylindrical weirs with 90 and 45 for up-and downstream angles, respectively, and also with 60 and 45 for up-and downstream angles, respectively were considered. Three different discharge and concequently three are considered for each weir shape. The results showed that the data predicted by the software in a good agreement with experimental data. The results indicate that the up-and downstream weir face angle has no significant effect on the output of the model and this model approaches work well for pressure and velocity distributions with two different cylindrical weirs angles. In general, the results of 45-90 weirs angles is better than the results of 45-60. Manuscript profile

The depletion of freshwater resources emphasizes the significance of water desalination, while the high energy consumption and operating costs associated with existing desalination methods necessitate the search for cost-effective solutions. Therefore, this study presents a unique and innovative solution by employing advanced materials, specifically the combination of graphene oxide (GO)-based covalent organic frameworks (COF) and hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide (HDTMA)-modified Iranian natural zeolite in the desalination of Caspian Sea water and well water in the Dark area of Isfahan. In this regard, GO was synthesized using Homer's modified method and subsequently functionalized with COF and the clinoptilolite zeolite was modified with HDTMA. A series of 28 column experiments were carried out using response surface methodology (RSM) to examine the elimination of electrical conductivity (EC), sodium (Na+), potassium (K+), calcium (Ca2+), magnesium (Mg2+), and chloride (Cl-) under the influence of five operational parameters: initial salinity (7.3-9.6 ds/m), flow rates (1-5 mL/min), GO amounts (0-30 mg), HDTMA quantities (0-13 g), and COF quantities (0-30 mg). The results revealed that the initial salinity concentration had the most significant impact on the reduction of EC, Na+, K+, and Mg2+. Conversely, the quantities of COF had the greatest influence on the reduction of Ca2+. Regarding Cl-, the interaction between HDTMA and salinity exhibited the most notable effect. Overall, this study highlights the potential of utilizing GO and HDTMA-modified Iranian zeolite for desalination purposes, offering a promising approach for addressing water scarcity and salinity challenges in arid regions.
