Abstract: The depth‐averaged velocity and bottom shear stress distributions in a rectangular channel near a groyne are computed by using a 2‐D depth averaged model. The model uses a hybrid finite difference scheme and an iterative ...

Abstract: An optimization procedure called SDPR that includes dynamic programming, stochastic dynamic programming (SDP), simulation, and trial and error adjustment of risk coefficient is developed and applied to determine the optimal ...

Abstract: An analytical diffusion model for flood routing which can take into account backwater effect and lateral flows has been developed. The model is applied to route the floods in a hypothetical rectangular channel with different ...

Abstract: An overall study has been made to develop an optimum water resources utilization plan in the Cho Shui River Basin in Taiwan, the Republic of China (ROC). This paper represents a part of this overall study. It focuses on ...

Abstract: An analysis of numerical stability of a two‐dimensional depth‐averaged hydrodynamic model is made by examining the linearized finite difference governing equations based on Fourier analysis. The eigenvalues of the amplification ...
