Automated ORP Control for Aerobic/Anoxic Cycling in Oxidation Ditch Treatment
The 1140 m3/d (0.3 mgd) Grand Coulee, WA. oxidation ditch was modified to incorporate a computer-control anoxic/aerobic cycle operation to investigate...
2D Finite Element Modelling of Flooding Due to River Bank Collapse
To compute the flood propagation over an initially dry area a new set of 2D equations has been recently proposed which accounts for the ground unevenness effects. The paper presents a...
A New Set of Equations for Very Shallow Water and Partially Dry Areas Suitable to 2D Numerical Models
When a 2D model is used to compute the flood propagation over an initially dry area some difficulties arise due to the changes in the computational domain as large parts of it are flooded...
