(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2014-08-28) ALVES, Alex Costa; BÉRGAMO, Alessandro Luvizon; http://lattes.cnpq.br/9711842025835463
This study aims to characterize the hydrodynamics of the continental shelf near the northeast coast of Pará state of in adjacent points to the municipalities of Salinópolis and Marapanim. The choice of the period of data acquisition took into account the contribution of the Tocantins River, which has a higher discharge during the month of April and lower discharge during September. Data were collected at two anchored stations on September 11, 2013 and April 25, 2014, both of 25 hours duration. Each as obtained data were not only hydrodynamic (longitudinal component of current) and hydrographic data (temperature, salinity and density), it was possible to calculate the transport of mass and volume. The observations were performed using a couple of acoustic Doppler current profilers and salinity, temperature and pressure data recorders. The data processing included filtering by moving averages and interpolation to analyze the results in dimensionless depth. The hydrographic results revealed a possible influence of continental drainage during the acquisition period. The comparison between water currents and wind during the experiments showed that the influence of the wind was not relevant in the circulation. The transport calculations indicate a circulation predominantly influenced by tide and freshwater contributions.

Caracterização física do estuário do rio Mojuim em São Caetano de Odivelas - PA
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2015-02-25) ROCHA, Adriano Santos da; ROLLNIC, Marcelo; http://lattes.cnpq.br/6585442266149471
The present study has as objective describe the hydrodynamics, hydrologic and morphological aspects, of estuary of Mojuim River, it is localized in São Caetano de Odivelas city –PA (Salgado Paraense),it is analyzing the variations that happen according sea cycle seasonality (rain regime).The hydrologic and hydrodynamics data was collected in two seasonal period in 2014:March,it corresponds to rainy period (~500 mm)and September, it corresponds to dry period (~100 mm),both during tide of syzygy. The bathymetric survey happened only in the rainy period and it was realized with an echo sounder in a sampling grid with 116 spaced cross profile of 200m.In the estuarine channel,it was defined a section where it was realized profiles of strength measurement and current intensity and output, with ADCP, and in three fixed stations,right bank (RB), center(C),and left bank (LB)it was realized collections of conductivity and turbidity with a CDT and an OBS, in the water column. The pattern of tidal and the salinity they were also obtained with a pressure sensor and conductivity fixed in the LB during 56 days in the rainy period and 57 days in dry ones. The estuarine is shallow (4,5 m of average depth) and it is restrained by a regime of semidiurnal macrotidals. During a tidal cycle the salinity increases in the floods and decreases in the ebb tide in both seasonal periods. Turbidity increases in the floods and it decreases in the ebb tide of the rain period and the value measured in the center (C) is double found in the banks. In the dry period, the salinity was higher to rainy period (average 20 and 8, respectively) .This estuarine presents well mixed; it is vertically homogeneous in the rainy period and highly stratified in the dry. The flood flows occur predominantly at the center section, while the ebb flows predominate in the RB, in the two situations the highest intensity of the current occurs in the rainy season. The estuary is an importer in the two periods, however, more entering in the rainy period (resulting transport of 95,87 m³/s) .These data correspond to the first information on the hydrological and hydrodynamics characteristics of the estuary and they can support further studies in the region.

Hidrodinâmica, transporte e proveniência sedimentar no baixo rio xingu e sua importância como “Tidal River” amazônico
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2022-07-14) MEDEIROS FILHO, Lucio Cardoso de; LAFON, Jean Michel; http://lattes.cnpq.br/4507815620234645; ASP NETO, Nils Edvin; http://lattes.cnpq.br/7113886150130994
This research is based on the investigation of the processes (geological and hydrodynamic) that govern the recent evolution of a large tributary of the lower Amazon, the Xingu River. The aim was to investigate its aspects of sedimentary evolution and hydrological flows, from already consolidated data on the filling of its ria and how its patterns of transport and sediment trapping, its seasonal and tidal effects have been established, in addition to understanding the role of the Amazon River as a regulator in the dynamics of its tributary. Hydrodynamic measurements of flow, velocity and water level along with bottom sediment and MPS samples were collected at 3 annual seasons (February, June and November). The results provided support for the investigation of the Xingu-Amazonas interaction and the evolution of the bottom morphology of the lower Xingu. The results suggest a filling of the ria both by the Xingu River, forming a prominent headwater delta, and the Amazon River, where tidal variations transport sediments upstream in the Xingu River. On the other hand, large areas in the central part of the ria indicate muddy sedimentation. Elementar geochemistry allowed us to trace part of the history of sediments and source rocks, together with the analysis of immobile elements (Al, Ti, Zr, Hf, Th) and rare earth elements (REE) because they are poorly fractionated during weathering processes. and they are concentrated in the bottom sediments to the detriment of the dissolved fraction of the rivers. The deposits preserved in the lower Xingu River, despite draining cratonic regions in higher areas, confirm that the bottom material is derived from heterogeneous sources with predominantly intermediate igneous compositions and that they underwent important recycling during fluvial transport. The hydrodynamic modeling allowed to indicate the fluvial discharge as the most relevant forcing for the muddy deposition dynamics in the Xingu estuary. From a numerical model, it was possible to extrapolate the flow and transport dynamics beyond the open boundaries, that is, the central portion of the ria, elucidating the interaction mechanism between river and tidal discharge and the associated sedimentary dynamics. The determination of the amplitudes and phases of the tidal components, whether of purely astronomical origin or resulting from shallow waters, as well as the average level and the hourly discharge proved to be fundamental for the understanding of the governing processes.

Transporte pneumático fluidizado: estudos de casos aplicados à indústria do alumínio primário
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2011-08) VASCONCELOS, Paulo Douglas Santos; MESQUITA, André Luiz Amarante; http://lattes.cnpq.br/1331279630816662
This work is a contribution to science and applied technology developed to fluidized bed and fluidized motion conveying used in the powder handling of the industrial processes. In the case of fluidized bed it is proposed an empirical equation to predict the minimum fluidization velocity for the fluoride alumina, crust powder and others powders used in the industrial processes with good results compared with the experiments and the equations available in the literature. It was also studied the constitutive equations to predict the behavior of the angle of repose and interparticles friction as a function of the superficial velocity of fluidization. In a second step it is proposed an equation to predict the capacity of the Air Pneumatic Fluidized Conveyor with good results compared with the experiments for fluoride alumina. The Air Fluidized Conveyor is a contribution to applied technology reducing the consumption of energy, it operates even in upward direction, and so, decreasing the rate kWh/ton in the powder handling of the industrial processes.
