As the number of dams continues to increase worldwide, so too has concerns for their effects on fish populations. Fish injury and mortality at hydroelectric facilities may have serious consequences for fish [populations. One of the main sources is] the impingement of fish (migratory or resident) against screens/trash racks. 3, record 1, English, - fish%20impingement

Grâce à de récents développements en laboratoire, des systèmes de grilles à espacement fin (10 à 20 mm) sont aujourd'hui disponibles sur le marché. Les barres de ces nouvelles grilles présentent un profil particulier [...] qui permet de ménager le poisson tout en restant compatible avec l'exploitation hydroélectrique. [...] Les grilles sont généralement inclinées par rapport à (1) éviter le placage du poisson contre la grille, (2) limiter les pertes de charge et (3) guider le poisson vers un exutoire. 2, record 1, French, - placage%20des%20poissons

An investigation of the mechanisms of collection of dust and smoke particles was undertaken from the standpoint of a fundamental study of the impaction of aerosol particles on elementary collectors. The systems analyzed were rectangular and round aerosol jets impinging on flat plates (jet impactors and impingement separators) and cylindrical and spherical collectors placed in aerosol streams (fibrous filters and wet scrubbers). 4, record 2, English, - impingement

Lorsque la mise en œuvre d'un procédé industriel se traduit par des émissions de particules solides ou liquides en quantités jugées trop importantes, il convient de capter les aérosols formés. C'est le rôle des appareils que l'on classe généralement sous le vocable de dépoussiéreurs. On distingue : [...] les séparateurs à inertie qui comprennent les appareils à impact et les cyclones. Les premiers réalisent la séparation des particules par des changements brusques de direction de la veine gazeuse: les particules, du fait de leur inertie, ne suivent pas les filets gazeux et viennent frapper des obstacles judicieusement disposés contre lesquels elles perdent leur vitesse, ce qui leur permet de tomber par gravité. 4, record 2, French, - impact

Le principe de la "jauge bêta" est basé sur l'absorption des rayonnements bêta par la matière. En effet, si on collecte par filtration et/ou impaction des particules sur un support approprié la masse d'aérosols déposés peut-être, après étalonnage, déterminée en évaluant la diminution du nombre de rayons B passant à travers la matière. 1, record 5, French, - impaction
