Numerical Modeling of Free Overfall
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Free overfall is treated by using two-dimensional steady potential flow theory. Based on the theory of the boundary value problem of analytical function and the substitution of variables we derive the boundary integral ...
Numerical Simulation of the Spreading of Aerated and Nonaerated Turbulent Water Jet in a Tank with Finite Water Depth
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Numerical simulations are carried out to investigate the spreading of two-dimensional plane turbulent aerated and nonaerated jets in a tank filled with finite water depth. A multiphase model is applied to simulate the ...
Flow in Open Channel with Complex Solid Boundary
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A two-dimensional steady potential flow theory is applied to calculate the flow in an open channel with complex solid boundaries. The boundary integral equations for the problem under investigation are first derived in an ...
Effects of Sediment Concentration and Initial Phosphorus Loading on Phosphate Adsorption in the Chongqing Reach of the Yangtze River
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The results are presented from a laboratory and theoretical study to investigate the effects of sediment concentration and initial phosphorus loading on adsorption isotherm and capacity. The tested aquatic sediment was ...
Modeling Study of the Flow past Irregularities in a Pressure Conduit
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Results are presented to investigate the characteristics of turbulent flow in a pressure conduit, such as water supply pipes and flood discharging tunnels. The turbulent flow governing equations, the Reynolds-averaged ...
Numerical Simulation of Gravity Current Descending a Slope into a Linearly Stratified Environment
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The accurate prediction of the dilution and motion of the produced denser water (e.g., discharge of concentrated brine generated during solution mining and desalination) is of importance for environmental protection. ...
Flow through Slit in Dam
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The problem of gravity-driven free-surface flows is difficult to solve due to the nonlinear character of the boundary condition. Using methods based on complex analysis, only flows past simple geometrical boundaries have ...
Analytical Solution of Shallow Water Equations for Ideal Dam-Break Flood along a Wet-Bed Slope
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The existing analytical solutions of dam-break flow do not consider simultaneously the effects of wet downstream bottom and bed slope on the dam-break wave propagation. In this study, a new analytical solution for the ...
Element Failure Probability of Soil Slope under Consideration of Random Groundwater Level
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The instability of soil slopes is directly related to the shear parameters of the soil material and groundwater, which usually causes some uncertainty. In this study, a novel method, the element failure probability method ...
Element Failure Risk Assessment of Soil Slope
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Two traditional methods when calculating slope failure risk (R) are the rigid body limit equilibrium (LEM) and finite-element methods (FEM). However, the LEM requires the previous assumption of the location and shape of ...
