Abstract: The Bernoulli principle is one of the basic and most famous concepts in fluid mechanics, and the related equation is an extremely useful and effective tool in the solution of a wide range of practical engineering problems. ...

Abstract: This paper investigates the lateral outflow over a short-crested side weir inserted in a converging rectangular channel with linearly decreasing width in the flow direction. This type of overflow device induces a spatially ...

Abstract: Flood modeling by numerical solution of the two-dimensional (2D) shallow-water equations is ordinary practice. HEC-RAS 2D was recently released along with a suite of test cases showing the very good performance of the code ...

Abstract: This paper presents experimental and two-dimensional (2D) numerical results of four tests concerning rapidly varying flows induced by the sudden removal of a sluice gate. For the acquisition of the experimental data, an ...

Abstract: On the morning of December 1, 1923, the Gleno Dam (located in the Central Italian Alps) suddenly collapsed a few days after the first complete reservoir filling. Nearly
