Abstract: The boundary stabilization of a coupled fluid-structure system consisting of a vibrating parachute dam in contact with a fluid is studied in this paper. The parachute dam dynamics is presented ...

Abstract: The dynamic behavior of hydraulic gates needs to be determined for design purposes. This is a difficult task because the interaction between fluid and gate can significantly affect the response of the structure and hence ...

Abstract: The fluid loads on some hydraulic structures and the free-surface profiles of the flow need to be determined for design purposes. This is a difficult task because the governing equations have nonlinear boundary conditions. ...
