Abstract: With many advantages such as high skid resistance, low noise, and less splash and spray, porous asphalt pavement can significantly improve driving quality in wet weather condition and is used widely in Europe, the United ...

Abstract: Roll waves are frequently observed in the spillway chutes of hydropower stations, flood discharge channels, and diversion canals. In order to understand the physical characteristics of roll waves in detail, a full ...

Abstract: The stability of a soil slope is usually analyzed by limit equilibrium methods, in which the identification of the critical slip surface is of principal importance. In this study the spline curve in conjunction with a ...

Abstract: With reservoir drawdown, the groundwater table in the adjacent aquifer falls down correspondingly. It is useful to calculate the groundwater table variation as a function of time during reservoir drawdown for hydraulic and ...

Abstract: Turbidity current is formed as subaerial open-channel sediment-laden flow plunges into a reservoir. The whole process of reservoir turbidity current, i.e., formation, propagation, and recession, is generally controlled by ...

Abstract: Full-depth lock-exchange experiments of saltwater with a lock length x0 of 40 m were conducted in a horizontal open channel in order to gain insight into the gravity currents of long lock releases. Without the effects ...
