Abstract: Hydraulic jumps on the steps of a stepped spillway were investigated analytically, physically, and numerically. Using classic hydraulic formulae, a conceptual prototype was designed. A large scale model was adapted and an ...

Abstract: Manhole drops in drainage systems are often designed for providing energy dissipation, for controlling high velocities and for minimizing sewers structural damage. The flow is characterized by excessive air-entrainment and ...

Abstract: An efficient method has been developed to compute the wave conditions in sheltered areas from the open sea directional spectrum using a reverse tracing wave ray model with weighted spectral ...

Abstract: Municipal solid waste (MSW) is a refuse composed of various materials with different properties. Some of the components are stable while others degrade as a result of biological and chemical processes. These aspects impart ...

Abstract: This paper deals with the numerical investigation of the drainage efficiency of a continuous transverse gully with the grate’s slots aligned in the flow direction and compared with experimental data sets. The gully efficiency ...

Abstract: Adequate load transfer in concrete-filled steel tubes (CFSTs) requires a close interaction between the steel walls and the concrete core. The present work analyzes the adhesion and confinement effects in steel tubes promoted ...
