Abstract: Substantial laboratory, field, and theoretical studies have been carried out by many to understand alluvial stream bedform origin, their shapes, equilibrium with the flow, and their depositional structure. The findings of ...

Abstract: A rapid method for estimating the peak discharge from a breached landslide dam is developed from an analysis of 42 outburst floods. Systematic classification of the river blockages based on the landslide type, its material ...

Abstract: The dynamics of bed configurations and the effect of the bedforms on flow in sand-bed rivers are among the most challenging aspects of fluvial hydraulics to quantify. The big unknown is the resistance coefficient, without ...

Abstract: The United States National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) relies on floodway and encroachment line standards to regulate floodplain development and minimize flood damage while ensuring public safety. A regulatory floodway ...

Abstract: Members of the Turbomachinery Committee organized a special technical session during the 2009 ASME Turbo Expo to honor Dr. Leroy H. Smith’s 50+ years of pioneering contributions to fan and ...

Abstract: Previous studies have revealed a number of unstable modes in addition to the Kelvin-Helmholtz instability associated with a velocity shear in the presence of a rigid lower boundary. These additional modes occupy regions ...
