Abstract: This paper deals with the scheduling of trains so as to minimize train trip times while maximizing reliability of arrival times. The amount of risk of delay (RD) associated with a schedule is used as the reliability component ...

Abstract: The spatial distribution of emergent vegetation in rivers is frequently nonuniform. Here, spatial nonuniformity is simulated in the laboratory by varying longitudinally the stem areal number density (m). Time- and ...

Abstract: The success of experimental studies to investigate hydraulics of dam breaching requires an adequate specification of geotechnical parameters and control over its realization in field or in laboratory conditions. Although ...

Abstract: A comprehensive knowledge of energy dissipation during the accelerations and decelerations in transient flow is essential to develop robust and accurate hydraulic transient solvers. Currently, most transient solvers are ...

Abstract: This experimental study focuses the influence of bed material mobility and initial downstream water level on maximum water level and time to peak of dam-break waves. It covers horizontal bed conditions on fixed bed, sand ...
