Abstract: It is shown that minimization of standing waves in supercritical flow in a contraction is equivalent to simultaneous satisfaction of the momentum equation parallel to and perpendicular to the wave front, the continuity ...

Abstract: Prediction of bridge abutment scour is particularly difficult in compound channels because of the effects of the flow interaction between the floodplain and main channel superimposed on the flow obstruction, and contraction ...

Abstract: Water surface profiles measured in a laboratory compound channel that has rough floodplains and multiple critical depths are compared with computed water surface profiles obtained by numerical solution of the one-dimensional ...
