Abstract: Self-formed shape and energy loss taking place at the transition of alluvial canals were studied. Two trapezoidal erodible canals were modeled along with a sudden contraction in a laboratory flume. Experiments were performed ...

Abstract: An analytical model of flood wave propagation is used to study the sensitivity of dam-breach flood waves to breach-outflow hydrograph volume, peak discharge, and downstream-channel bed slope. Dimensionless parameters are ...
