Abstract: The area of a looped rating curve for a channel cross section is indicative of the dynamic effects of a flood wave. These effects may be used as a criterion to decide the suitability of a simplifying approximation, such ...

Abstract: Effects of bed material and downstream flow depth on bed evolution in a right-angled channel confluence were studied through laboratory experiments. Velocity field, water surface elevation, and bed profile were measured ...

Abstract: Flow past a spur dyke on a rigid bed meandering channel with a trapezoidal cross section has been studied experimentally. An acoustic Doppler velocimeter (ADV) was used to measure the velocities. The results show that ...

Abstract: Studying the flow through a dam breach is important because it is characterized by a great deal of uncertainty and can be associated with loss of lives and properties. In the present study, planar dam breach erosion due ...

Abstract: To investigate the effect of nonhydrostatic pressure distribution, dam-break flows are simulated by numerically solving the one-dimensional Boussinesq equations by using a fourth-order explicit finite-difference scheme. ...

Abstract: Effects of flow depth, ions, and salinity on the evolution of suspended sediment concentration (SSC) are presented. Experiments are conducted in an annular flume using three different sediments (Rhine mud, alumina, and ...

Abstract: The present paper attempts to study the flood wave propagation at a right-angled

Abstract: Artificial open-channel junctions have sharp corners and a smaller width-to-depth ratio. Despite numerous studies on channel junctions, knowledge on turbulent structures and their role in mixing at artificial junctions is ...

Abstract: Open-channel junctions pose a risk associated with flooding and erosion. However, despite the numerous studies concerning the channel junctions, the bed and flow field evolutions at junctions for flood conditions have yet ...
