Abstract: A lake tap is the submerged piercing of a tunnel at the intake to connect the reservoir to the tunnel system. It is referred to as a dry lake tap if the tunnel is dry before the blasting of the last rock plug at the tunnel ...

Abstract: A novel and computationally efficient algorithm is presented to compute the water surface profiles in steady, gradually varied flows of open channel networks. This algorithm allows calculation of flow depths and discharges ...

Abstract: This paper presents equations developed by using genetic algorithms (GA) to estimate decay coefficients for instantaneous acceleration–based (IAB) unsteady friction models in order to predict energy dissipation following ...
