Abstract: A new approach is proposed for calibrating hydraulic network models. This procedure uses a nonlinear optimization algorithm along with a standard, off-the-shelf, network solver. Pipe roughness is adjusted until simulation ...

Abstract: The assessment of flood risk is a difficult task and usually requires solution of a flood routing problem as a part of the assessment. Due to the large number of scenarios that have to be developed and analyzed, simplified ...

Abstract: Fast geomorphic transients may involve complex scenarios of sediment transport, occurring near the bottom as bed load (i.e., saltating, sliding, and rolling) or as suspended load in the upper portion of the flow. The two ...
