Abstract: The process of reflection, transmission, and propagation of long waves past a step and onto a horizontal shelf is examined analytically and experimentally using solitary waves. It is found that reflection can be described ...

Abstract: A complex problem of turbulent-sediment interactions in an open-channel flow is approached experimentally, using specially designed field experiments in an irrigation canal. The experimental design included synchronous ...

Abstract: A new method for detecting spikes in acoustic Doppler velocimeter data sequences is suggested. The method combines three concepts: (1) that differentiation enhances the high frequency portion of a signal, (2) that the ...

Abstract: A simple technique to reduce the Doppler noise influence on measurements of turbulence using the Acoustic Doppler Velocimeter (ADV) is developed, and basic relationships to estimate turbulence characteristics using information ...
