Abstract: A new methodology for a robust solution of the diffusive shallow water equations is proposed. The methodology splits the unknowns of the momentum and continuity equations into one kinematic and one parabolic component. The ...

Abstract: Estimation of water loss at small leaks and openings in different areas of a pipe network is handled by means of an iterative two-step procedure. The first step is estimation of the parameters in the network simulation ...

Abstract: Understanding of the hydraulics of flow over vegetation is very important to support the management of fluvial processes. In this paper the flow over flexible bottom vegetation is experimentally studied. A two-dimensional-acoustic ...

Abstract: In this paper, experimental data collected in a straight flume having a bed covered by grasslike vegetation have been used to analyze flow resistance for flexible submerged elements. At first, the measurements are used to ...
