An Enhanced Gray Wolf Optimizer and Its Application to Parameter Calibration in Open-Channel Flow
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2026)AbstractParameter calibration is a key issue in open-channel flow models. Manning’s roughness coefficient, a comprehensive indicator of flow resistance, is highly variable and location-dependent. An optimization objective ... -
Assessing the Applicability of Boussinesq-Type Models for Steep Obstacle Flow Simulations
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2026)AbstractBoussinesq-type models improve hydrodynamic simulations by capturing nonhydrostatic effects, offering advantages over nonlinear shallow-water equations. However, their performance in rapidly varying flows over steep ... -
Evaluation of the Near-Bed Velocity Decay Resulting from a Confined Bow Thruster Jet Using PIV Measurements
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2026)AbstractObservations in the field suggest that the existing guidelines for bed protection design may lead to overly conservative protections at berthing structures of inland vessels. In this study, physical scale model ... -
New 1D Unsteady Friction Model for Turbulent Rough Pipe Flows Undergoing Slow to Intermediate Acceleration–Deceleration: Closely Packed Uniform Hemispheres
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2026)AbstractA new unsteady friction model suitable for one-dimensional (1D) pipe network modeling of turbulent rough pipe flows is proposed. The new model has been developed based on an original set of water flow experiments ... -
Comprehensive Three-Dimensional Virtual Experiment Platform for Transient Pipe Flow Considering Fluid–Structure Interaction
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)AbstractThe aim of this paper is to develop a comprehensive three-dimensional virtual experiment platform for transient pipe flow simulation considering fluid–structure interaction (FSI). Within the platform, computational ... -
Effect of Stratification and Crossflow on the Dynamics of Bubble Plumes
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2026)AbstractBubble plumes in stratified environments are very common in both environmental and industrial processes, with stratification influencing the mixing and material transport mechanisms. In this study, Eulerian–Lagrangian ... -
Air–Water Flows in a Deep Tunnel Downstream of a Dropshaft
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)AbstractDropshafts of deep tunnel systems can entrain a large amount of air, and the resulting air–water interactions cause potential safety issues. In this study, the air–water flow characteristics along a tunnel under ... -
Riverbank Stabilization with Bioengineering: Failure Processes and Design Suggestions from a Scaled Physical Model
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2026)AbstractSoil and water bioengineering structures (SWBEs) implemented for riverbank stabilization are often designed based on field feedback and expert knowledge. These structures are weaker in the years just after ... -
Robust Implicit Finite-Volume Method for Transient Mixed-Flow Modeling in Water-Conveyance Tunnels
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)AbstractThe accurate simulation of transient mixed flow is a crucial concern for the design and management of water-conveyance tunnels. The free-surface and pressurized flows are characterized by significant disparity in ... -
Drag on Sparse and Rigid Emergent Canopies: Experimental and Numerical Investigation
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)AbstractSediment transport and deposition processes significantly depend on the actual bed shear stresses in canopy flows, the determination of which requires a priori knowledge of the drag coefficient of vegetation arrays. ... -
Unsteady Air Flow Induced by Pumping Events in Sewer Systems
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)AbstractPumping events can cause air pressure fluctuations in sanitary sewers and lead to air ventilation through openings. In this study, field measurement of air flow was conducted in a sewer system downstream of a pump ... -
Flow Interaction at Multistage Floodplains of Open Channel during High Flow: A Study of Mixing Length and Flow Structures
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)AbstractUnderstanding compound open channels with separate shallow floodplains and different bankfull heights around the deep main channel is of paramount importance. A practical design of channels and rivers in urban ... -
Erosion of Sand Beds with Translating Circular Turbulent Jets
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)AbstractLaboratory experiments were conducted to investigate the erosion of a sand bed by a submerged translating circular jet. Deformation of the sand bed can be classified as dynamic scour and static scour (after the jet ... -
