Abstract: Bottom racks made by longitudinal bars are hydraulic structures widely adopted for engineering purposes. In the present paper we revisit the problem of their hydraulic design, analyzing the data obtained from a systematic ...

Abstract: Nowadays, drinking water demand forecasting has become fundamental to efficiently manage water distribution systems. With the growth of accessible data and the increase of available computational power, the scientific ...

Abstract: The space-and time-averaged velocity profiles in gravel beds show some features that differentiates them from that established in smooth beds, but the obstruction posed by the gravel hampers the experimental measurements ...

Abstract: A reliable short-term forecasting model is fundamental to managing a water distribution system properly. This study addresses the problem of the efficient development of a deep neural network model for short-term forecasting ...

Abstract: An experimental nonintrusive methodology is proposed to estimate the spatially averaged erosion rate of fine sediment from a gravel bed. The experiments performed in a laboratory flume show a progressive slowdown of the ...
