Numerical Analysis of High Velocity Flow with Zero-Depth Line and Oblique Shock Wave in Steep Open-Channels
This paper deals with the numerical analysis of 2D steady high velocity flows with the zero - depth line and the oblique shock wave in steep open channels by means of the method of characteristics....
Numerical Experiments on Instability in Unsteady Flow Modeling
The problem of numerical instability in modeling unsteady open-channel flows is investigated using the technique of numerical experiments. The model is based on the one-dimensional de...
Thermo-Hydrodynamic Modelling of the Chicago Sanitary and Ship Canal
A one-dimensional numerical model of the Chicago Sanitary and Ship Canal and Lower Des Plaines River has been developed as a tool for assessment of the waterway's thermal response to actual...
