Hydraulic Modeling of Flow Control Gates
Flow control gates are subject to complex hydrodymanic loadings, which may in many cases only be predicted through investigation on a physical hydraulic model. Scaling of gate models,...

Three-Dimensional Modelling of Recirculation Behind a Groyne
Extensive investigation on the three-dimensional flow patterns behind a groyne have been carried out in a small-scale experiment. A three-dimensional hydrodynamic numerical model is verified...

Validation and Recent Enhancement of a Three-Dimensional Curvilinear-Grid Finite-Difference Model for Estuarine, Coastal and Lake Circulation: CH3D
This paper describes the validation and recent enchancement of a three-dimensional curvilinear-grid hydrodynamic model: CH3D. The model employs finite-differences techniques and allows...

Impact of Agricultural Levees on Flood Elevations
Agricultural levees are used in many low-lying areas to protect farmlands from floods. The levees are often constructed, maintained, and improved on an ad hoc basis by farmers or with...

Modelling of Stages of Nile River as a Tool for a Better Water Resources Management
As far as Egypt is concerned, the Nile is not just a river, it is rather the pulsing nerve of life. Consequently, it was essential to maintain detailed information about its levels and...

Overview of Mathematical Models?River Nile/High Aswan Dam
This paper has been directed towards the presentation of seven reliable planning tools (mathematical models) that can be used for the investigation of the planning options facing policy...

Basin-Wide Stormwater Management in Pennsylvania?A Case Study of Hydrologic Performance Standards
Performance standards in the form of 'release rates' are developed using hydrologic computer models. This basin-wide approach to stormwater management considers...

Model Tests for Design of Vibration-Free Gates
Experimental results are presented of hydraulic forces acting on an underflow gate. Underflow gate is a socalled bluff body and a review of the mechanism of vibration caused by separation...

Spillway Gates for the El Naranjero Dam in Spain
In June 1986 Zwag Zschokke Wartmann Ltd received the order from Hidroelectrica Espanola S.A. in Madrid, Spain for the design and model testing of 5 radial gates on the 'El...
