Stepped chutes and cascades have become a subject of renewed interest in the last two decades. Their use is commonly related to dams but they are also used for environmental and for aesthetic applications, and these ...

Results from an experimental study conducted to investigate the characteristics of the velocity field along the jet trajectory of a drop structure are presented. Constant temperature anemometry is used for detailed ...

Reliable estimates of the unsaturated soil hydraulic properties are needed in many research and engineering projects. Fractal based approaches have become popular for describing the hydraulic functions. New models based ...

The development flow region of stepped chutes was studied experimentally. Three configuration of chute bed slopes 3.5H:1V, 5H:1V, and 10H:1V were used to study the flow characteristics. Each model had five horizontal steps ...

In the construction of buildings and infrastructures, high resistance materials are used due to current design requirements, concrete being one of the main materials used in the execution of these projects whose cement ...

Abstract Hydraulic models for the generation of flood inundation maps are not commonly applied in mountain river basins because of the difficulty in modeling the hydraulic behavior and the complex topography. This paper ...
