Abstract: This paper investigates the lateral outflow over a short-crested side weir inserted in a converging rectangular channel with linearly decreasing width in the flow direction. This type of overflow device induces a spatially ...

Abstract: This paper presents a simplified approach to the characterization of the hydrograph following the partial collapse of concrete gravity dams. The proposed approach uses a simplified representation of the reservoir geometry ...

Abstract: On the morning of December 1, 1923, the Gleno Dam (located in the Central Italian Alps) suddenly collapsed a few days after the first complete reservoir filling. Nearly

Abstract: Flood modeling by numerical solution of the two-dimensional (2D) shallow-water equations is ordinary practice. HEC-RAS 2D was recently released along with a suite of test cases showing the very good performance of the code ...
