Stability of an Idealized Floating Carpet of Plastic Spheres in an Open Channel Flow
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Plastic debris can accumulate at hydraulic structures and waste-collection devices, leading to a so-called floating carpet formation. Understanding the accumulation of plastic debris at structures is pivotal in the prediction ...
Stone Stability under Stationary Nonuniform Flows
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A stability parameter for rock in bed protections under nonuniform stationary flow is derived. The influence of the mean flow velocity, turbulence, and mean acceleration of the flow are included explicitly in the parameter. ...
Wave and Flow Response to an Artificial Surf Reef: Laboratory Measurements
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Waves and currents are essential elements in the design of an artificial surfing reef (ASR). ASRs are primarily designed to optimize the surfing conditions (i.e., increase the surfability of the incoming waves) possibly ...
