Numerical modelling of supercritical flow in circular conduit bends using SPH method
(China Ocean Press, 2017)
The capability of the smoothed-particle hydrodynamics (SPH) method to model supercritical flow in circular pipe bends is considered. The standard SPH method, which makes use of dynamic boundary particles (DBP), is supplemented ...
Converging stepped spillway flow
(Taylor and Francis Ltd., 2016)
Wall deflection in supercritical flow induces standing waves which significantly influence the flow field close to the wall. This paper analyses the flow in the converging stepped spillway, using two scale-models with ...
Real-time forecasting urban drainage models: full or simplified networks?
(Water Science and Technology, 2010)
Lead time between rainfall prediction results and flood prediction results obtained by hydraulic simulations is one of the crucial factors in the implementation of real-time flood forecasting systems. Therefore, hydraulic ...
Ski jump design
(Proceedings of the Institution of Civil Engineers-Water Management, 2010)
This paper is concerned with ski jump design for overflow dams and chute spillways. Despite the vast scope of literature on this subject, research in this field is still needed. Three important issues are addressed: take-off ...
Speeding up the water distribution network design optimization using the Delta Q method
(IWA Publishing, 2016)
To optimize the design of a water distribution network (WDN), a large number of possible solutions need to be examined; hence computation efficiency is an important issue. To accelerate the computation, one can use more ...
Annual and seasonal discharge prediction in the middle Danube River basin based on a modified TIPS (Tendency, Intermittency, Periodicity, Stochasticity) methodology
(De Gruyter Open Ltd, 2017)
The short-term predictions of annual and seasonal discharge derived by a modified TIPS (Tendency, Intermittency, Periodicity and Stochasticity) methodology are presented in this paper. The TIPS method (Yevjevich, 1984) is ...
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, ...
Numerical study of 3D flow at right-angled confluences with and without upstream planform curvature
(IWA Publishing, 2013)
The purpose of this paper is to study the individual and combined effect of upstream planform curvature and difference in bed elevations at the tributary entrance to the confluence on the flow in the confluence hydrodynamics ...
Calibration of a 1D/1D urban flood model using 1D/2D model results in the absence of field data
(Water Science and Technology, 2011)
Recently increased flood events have been prompting researchers to improve existing coupled flood-models such as one-dimensional (1D)/1D and 1D/two-dimensional (2D) models. While 1D/1D models simulate sewer and surface ...
Natural Radioactivity of Intrusive-Metamorphic and Sedimentary Rocks of the Balkan Mountain Range (Serbia, Stara Planina)
(MDPI AG, 2018)
Stara Planina (also known as the Balkan mountain range) is known for numerous occurrences and deposits of uranium and associated radionuclides. It is also famous for its geodiversity. The geologic framework is highly ...
