Abstract: The contraction scour resulting from a two-dimensional (2D) mobile bed numerical model is superimposed on the local scour measured on a large scale mobile bed physical model to evaluate the total scour at bridge piers. ...

Abstract: The Bric Zerbino and Sella Zerbino barrages dammed two branches of the Orba Valley in Italy to create the Ortiglieto reservoir and supply the Molare hydropower plant. The secondary dam, the Sella Zerbino, was erected over ...

Abstract: In the present engineering practice, direct formulas are not given for the preliminary hydraulic design of Jarlan‐type breakwaters: Only qualitative observations and heuristic considerations are reported. The writers analyze ...

Abstract: Time series of daily streamflows are studied with particular emphasis on the behavior of recessions. Long-term and periodic characteristics are modeled through spectral analysis. Gamma autoregressive models are used to ...

Abstract: Simplified and detailed two-dimensional modeling approaches to transient flows in urban areas, based on finite-volume solution of the shallow water equations, are compared. Through the example of a dam-break flow in a ...
