Abstract: Section elements of a new class of curvilinear bottomed channel whose boundary maps along a circle onto the hodograph plane have been investigated in the study. The perimeter of this type of channel always lies between an ...

Abstract: An exact analytical solution for the quantity of seepage from a trapezoidal channel underlain by a drainage layer at a shallow depth has been obtained using an inverse hodograph and a Schwarz-Christoffel transformation. ...

Abstract: Optimal design equations for a parabolic canal section are presented in this paper. The design equations for a minimum earthwork cost section and a minimum cost lined section are in explicit form and result in optimal ...

Abstract: An earth dam can be prevented from a seepage failure due to softening of the downstream slope by providing a rock toe or horizontal drainage blanket. Analytical solutions are not available for determining the length of the ...

Abstract: An exact analytical solution for the quantity of recharge from an array of trapezoidal channels underlain by a drainage layer at a shallow depth has been obtained using an inverse hodograph and Schwarz-Christoffel ...

Abstract: An array of ditches method of subsurface drainage is advantageous for various playgrounds, golf courses, parks, and also for orchard plantation where there is little farming operations. A comprehensive analytical solution ...
