Abstract: River ice jams are a common occurrence on northern rivers, and their formation can present a severe flood risk to nearby communities. As more and more river regulation projects are developed to provide an alternative to ...

Abstract: Ice jams pose a significant threat to human safety and property and represent one of the most dynamic of river ice processes. A key limitation in the advancement of knowledge of ice jam formation is the lack of quantitative ...

Abstract: Many open‐channel flow problems may be modeled as depth‐averaged flows. Petrov‐Galerkin finite element methods, in which up‐wind weighted test functions are used to introduce selective numerical dissipation, have been used ...

Abstract: A one-dimensional theoretical model for subcritical flows in combining open channel junctions is developed. Typical examples of these junctions are encountered in urban water treatment plants, irrigation and drainage canals, ...

Abstract: This paper presents the results of an observational study related to the behavior of drainage sewers under conditions of hydraulic overloading. Specifically, the investigation focuses on the interaction of water and trapped ...

Abstract: The pressure within a trapped air pocket in a rapidly filling horizontal pipe is investigated both experimentally and analytically. The downstream end of the pipe is either sealed to form a dead end or outfitted with an ...

Abstract: This investigation considers an approximate formulation of the St. Venant equations for natural channels, in which the fully conservative form is developed by revising the boundary pressure term accounting for the topographic ...
