Abstract: The design of a safety grating for a culvert inlet as investigated using a physical model. The objectives of such a grating are: (1) To prevent a person who falls into the drainageway from being carried into and through ...

Abstract: Fluidization systems in the coastal environment can be used to maintain channels and aid in sand bypassing. Induced flow from small holes in a buried source pipe will fluidize the overlying sand for a sufficiently high ...

Abstract: Flow emanating from perforations in a buried pipe can be used to fluidize sand in the coastal environment. A trench of specified length, width, and depth can be created by fluidization for applications such as sand bypassing ...

Abstract: From the theory of flow through porous media, the governing equation for hydraulic head is developed for flow emanating from small holes in a pipe buried in fine sand in the coastal environment. Calculated Reynolds numbers ...

Abstract: One‐dimensional fluidization in a bounded domain is a well‐understood phenomenon. However, in unbounded domains, the formation of an interface between the fluidized and unfluidized regions is a complicated phenomenon that ...

Abstract: The experimental study of the effects of water-table manipulation on beach erosion/accretion is meant to help engineers design and operate beach drain systems. The initial position of the drain and expected flow rates ...
