Abstract: The numerical modeling of hyperconcentrated shallow flows is a challenging task because they exhibit special features, such as propagation over dry beds, profound bed elevation modifications owing to erosion or deposition ...

Abstract: The discharges flowing through rural drainage networks depend not only on the local climatic and hydrologic characteristics, but also on the geometric characteristics of the channels constituting the network. For this ...

Abstract: In this paper, a novel procedure is presented and demonstrated for the optimal design of rural drainage networks, based on the coupling of a genetic algorithm with suitable hydrologic and hydraulic models. The models, which ...

Abstract: Sediment delivery to reservoirs causes a reduction in storage capacity, leading to emergency water conditions and difficulties in managing water resources and dams, especially on dry land. This paper presents a methodology ...
