Abstract: A finite element method programmed for a computer is presented for determining the stresses and deflections in multiple slabs on elastic solids. The method is an extension to that presented in a previous paper by applying ...

Abstract: The partial-flip bucket is successfully applied to a spillway outlet design with an approximately 50  m/s flow velocity in Jinping-I Dam in Sichuan, China. The specific design of a part-flipped area on a floor results in ...

Abstract: Hydrodynamic pressures on a plunge pool floor due to submerged aerated jets are of interest in many engineering fields. For the present study, dynamic pressures on a deep plunge pool floor due to submerged inclined jets ...

Abstract: Low-level outlets are essential flood discharge structures for high-head dams. High-speed free-surface flows releasing into tunnels lead to substantial air discharge, and the air supply is important for gate vibration ...

Abstract: A series of experiments was conducted to investigate the influence of aeration on plane jet scour. The scour holes caused by the aerated and the nonaerated jets were compared under the same conditions of jet velocity, water ...

Abstract: There has been little study on the microscopic bubble entrainment and diffusion process on high-speed self-aerated flows, although the problem under investigation is theoretically important and has important engineering ...
