Abstract: The five computation steps of CASTOR—a simplified dam-break, flood-wave model—are described. The first step uses a simple relation to determine peak discharge at the dam. Second, a dimensionless graph gives peak discharge ...

Abstract: Flooding rivers usually present transition reaches where the floodplain width can significantly vary. The present study focuses on an abrupt floodplain contraction (mean angle 22°) in order to determine whether one-dimensional ...

Abstract: Common inlet design for compound-channel flumes does not ensure a proper upstream discharge distribution. As the total head in the upstream tank is the same for both main-channel and floodplain subsections, the velocity ...

Abstract: Experiments were conducted over uniform gravel bed materials to obtain 143 friction factor values under bed-load equilibrium flow conditions in an attempt to add to the scarce data available on slopes between 1 and 9% for ...

Abstract: Comprehensive measurements of bed-load sediment transport through a section of the Danube River, located approximately 70 km downstream from Bratislava, Slovakia, are used to assess the accuracy of bed-load formulas ...
