Abstract: The performance of the standard one-way nesting procedure for a regional application of a third-generation wave model is investigated. It is found that this nesting procedure is not applicable ...

Abstract: The impact of a single wave generated by a dam break with a tall structure is modeled with a three-dimensional version of the smoothed particle hydrodynamics method. The method is used to analyze the propagation of a long ...

Abstract: When using finite-volume methods and the conservative form of the Saint Venant equations in one-dimensional flow computations, it is important to establish the correct balance between the discretized flux vector and the ...

Abstract: This paper presents an algorithm for automatic control of open‐channel flow. The design of a control algorithm is essentially conditioned by two features of the open‐channel dynamics: (1) The time‐inverse propagation process ...

Abstract: This paper outlines several issues related to the design of sandwich structures with a truss-reinforced polymeric or hollow core. The first part of the paper employs a simple analytical model that illustrates the contribution ...

Abstract: Dam break evolution over dry and wet beds is analyzed with a smoothed particle hydrodynamics model. The model is shown to accurately fit both experimental dam break profiles and the measured velocities. In addition, the ...
