Abstract: A transition is typically required in irrigation canals, laboratory flumes and many other waterways. The warped type transition (WTT) is the preferred link structure between a small rectangular and relatively large trapezoidal ...

Abstract: Sluice gates are an important component of many hydraulic engineering systems; they have been extensively used to regulate reservoir water levels and to measure discharges. This paper reported new experimental and computational ...

Abstract: An existing two-dimensional mobile-bed hydrodynamic model has been modified to simulate bed-load transport in a complex gravel-bed river. We investigated the sensitivity of predicted bed load to control parameters, and ...

Abstract: A computational model was developed to study the hydrodynamic characteristics of a new multienvironment air-lift bioreactor. This model study considerably expands on the laboratory experiments by exploring the hydrodynamic ...

Abstract: Water generally leaves a supply reservoir through a narrow rectangular concrete channel and enters a large trapezoidal earthen channel. The two channels are connected by a transition. Among the most common types of ...

Abstract: Residential buildings are one of the major consumers of energy. The majority of the housing stock consists of existing homes, and a large number of these homes are energy inefficient. Retrofitting existing homes to make ...

Abstract: Hydraulic structures play an important role in regulation and transport of water in reservoirs and open channels. Examples of such structures include concrete spillways, stilling basins, flumes, weirs, dam, and culverts. ...
