Abstract: The smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) method was used to simulate the flow over smooth and stepped spillways in the nonaerated, skimming flow regime. Two-dimensional numerical simulations were carried out using the ...

Abstract: Theoretical and laboratory studies were presented for the water column oscillation in a vertical tube partially immersed in a reservoir. Three types of oscillations were studied, with the top of the tube being fully open ...

Abstract: Certain closed conduits may undergo processes of rapid filling, in which the flow regime transits from open channel into pressurized flows. Air bubbles may be entrained through such pressurization interfaces, and this ...

Abstract: Theoretical and experimental results for the evolution of cavities generated by upward vertical leakage jets in porous media are presented. The formulation is based on the conservation principles of mass, momentum, and ...
