Estimation of 1D-confluence model parameters in right-angled discordant beds’ confluences using 3D numerical model
(CRC Press/Balkema, 2016)
Parameters of 1D confluence models are originally defined for concordant beds’ (CB’s) confluences. This paper aims at estimating these parameters for discordant beds’ confluences using numerical simulation results of 3D ...
The 3DNet-Catch hydrologic model: Development and evaluation
(Elsevier B.V., 2019)
Hydrologic models are important for effective water resources management. They vary in complexity from parsimonious, spatially lumped, to physically-based, fully distributed models, which are generally expected to outperform ...
Hydrodynamic effects of debris blockage and scour on masonry bridges: Towards experimental modelling
(CRC Press/Balkema, 2016)
This paper describes the preliminary stage of an ongoing project investigating the hydrodynamic effects of debris blockage at masonry bridges. Debris blockage is cited as one of the primary causes of bridge failures in the ...
On the combined effect of bed elevation discordances in the main-river and the tributary in 90° straight-channel confluences
(CRC Press/Balkema, 2016)
The role of the difference in bed elevations in the main-river (ΔzMR) and the tributary (ΔzT) at their entrance to a 90° straight-channel confluence is studied numerically using a 3D finite-volume model. Three characteristic ...
Planning and Suitability Assessment of Large-scale Nature-based Solutions for Flood-risk Reduction
(Water Resources Management, 2021)
Adverse effects of climate change are increasing around the world and the floods are
posing significant challenges for water managers. With climate projections showing
increased risks of storms and extreme precipitation, ...
Experimental investigation of scour and pressures on a single span arch bridge under inundation
(Utah State University, 2018)
This paper presents two experiments, carried out in a 605mm-wide flume, to investigate scour and hydrodynamic pressure on a scaled model of a single span arch bridge. The geometry of the bridge model is scaled down according ...
Computation of Thermal-Stresses and Contraction Joint Distance of RCC Dams
(Journal of Thermal Stresses, 2013)
A new approach in 3D numerical modeling for unsteady phased thermal-stress analysis of a massive concrete hydraulic structure is presented. The temperature field is computed first, providing a drive for the unsteady, ...
Control theory-based data assimilation for hydraulic models as a decision support tool for hydropower systems: sequential, multi-metric tuning of the controllers
(IWA Publishing, 2021)
Increasing renewable energy usage puts extra pressure on decision-making in river hydropower systems. Decision support tools are used for near-future forecasting of the water available. Model-driven forecasting used for ...
Uniformity and Heuristics-Based DeNSE Method for Sectorization of Water Distribution Networks
(Reston, VA (USA): ASCE - American Society of Civil Engineers, 2020)
Sectorization of a water distribution network (WDN) into district metered areas (DMAs) is a proven solution for proactive leakage control. Traditionally, WDN sectorization is conducted by local experts using a trial-and-error ...
Detection of SARS-CoV-2 RNA in the Danube River in Serbia associated with the discharge of untreated wastewaters
(Science of the Total Environment, 2021)
In Serbia less than 13% of collected municipal wastewaters is being treated before their release in the environment. This includes all municipal wastewater discharges from Belgrade (capital city of Serbia; population ...
