Abstract: Many anthropic factors may contribute to the alteration of the natural evolution of the river environment. Among them, probably the most severe is the regulation of the stream flow by a dam. To minimize this impact normally ...

Abstract: A small-scale field experiment was conducted on wave forces on upright breakwaters, and the following observations were made. The largest waves in a sea state yield one of two very characteristic time histories of the ...

Abstract: This paper presents the results of studies of water hammer phenomena in a physical model in combinations of two and three pipelines connected in series. The combined pipelines were made of steel and polypropylene. Pipelines ...

Abstract: Calibration is a process of comparing model results with field data and making the appropriate adjustments so that both results agree. Calibration methods can involve formal optimization methods or manual methods in which ...
