Abstract: The stability of a soil slope is usually analyzed by limit equilibrium methods, in which the identification of the critical slip surface is of principal importance. In this study the spline curve in conjunction with a ...

Abstract: A two-dimensional dynamical model is established to simulate current circulation and sediment transport induced by storm surges in a schematic harbor. The model accounts for both settling and resuspension processes of ...

Abstract: A physical model study was conducted on jet impingement in a plunging dropshaft with different drop heights of 3.38 and 1.88 m. Experimental observations show that an upward splash, annular flow, and downward bounced ...

Abstract: With reservoir drawdown, the groundwater table in the adjacent aquifer falls down correspondingly. It is useful to calculate the groundwater table variation as a function of time during reservoir drawdown for hydraulic and ...

Abstract: The maximum upsurge (MU) and the maximum air chamber pressure (MACP) are critical parameters for the design of air cushion surge chamber (ACSC) in hydropower stations. In this paper, the existence of the MU and the MACP ...

Abstract: Long-distance water supply systems are important measures to improve the water resources distribution, and the water hammer protection devices such as air vessels are usually added in the project to ensure the safety and ...

Abstract: A unique local tsunami had a very large impact on the coastal stations near Dålk Glacier; this kind of tsunami is related to iceberg activity. To provide a reference for tsunami warning and disaster prevention at these ...

Abstract: The aging of sewer networks in old residential neighborhoods in China causes frequent problems with their integrity and functionality, such as sanitary sewer overflows and hydraulic overloading of wastewater treatment ...
