Abstract: The note demonstrates the application of a pure Lagrangian numerical method to dam-break flows by solving the St. Venant equations. The method is developed based on the smoothed particle hydrodynamics. It is easy to apply ...

Abstract: A numerical model for simulating thermal‐ice conditions in a natural river is developed with emphasis on its application to the growth and decay of the ice cover. The model treats the river as a coupled air‐ice‐water‐bed ...

Abstract: An unsteady flow model for ice‐covered rivers is developed and applied to the upper St. Lawrence River. The model is capable of providing continuous simulation of flow and ice conditions in an ice‐covered river that consists ...

Abstract: A laboratory study on the hydraulics of flow in an open channel with circular cylindrical roughness is presented. The laboratory study consists of an extensive set of flume experiments for flows with emergent and submerged ...

Abstract: A computer model for oil slick transformation in rivers is developed and applied to simulate the fate of oil spills in the connecting channels of the upper Great Lakes. In this model, the transport of the surface oil slick ...

Abstract: Physical and numerical models were used to assess ice passage at navigation locks, focusing on key factors such as the design of the lock filling and emptying system and the intakes to the lock filling culverts. Unconventional ...

Abstract: A computational method is developed for analyzing the hydraulics in a channel network with ice cover under steady‐state conditions. The formulation permits computations for networks in which both ice‐covered and free‐surface ...
