RISTurbulent Flows within Random Arrays of Rigid and Emergent Cylinders with Varying Distribution
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The spatial distribution of emergent vegetation in rivers is frequently nonuniform. Here, spatial nonuniformity is simulated in the laboratory by varying longitudinally the stem areal number density (m). Time- and ...
Wall-Roughness Effects on Flow and Scouring in Curved Channels with Gravel Beds
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Due to a complex three-dimensional flow pattern, the outer banks of river bends are predisposed to erosion. When endangering civil structures, preventing measures to mitigate this erosion are thus required. Vertical ribs ...

Opportunity and Economic Feasibility of Inline Microhydropower Units in Water Supply Networks
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Small-scale hydropower is emerging as a decentralized source to satisfy local demand for electricity. In water supply systems, microhydropower can be used for energy recovery associated with excessive pressure control. ...
Parameterization and Results of SWE for Gravity Currents Are Sensitive to the Definition of Depth
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Rigorously derived shallow water equations (SWEs) are applied to results of large eddy simulation (LES) of a continuously fed gravity current in order to assess (1) sensitivity of current depth results to its definition; ...
