Air entrainment and splash characteristics in jet flows: Effect of downstream water levels

open access: yesRiver, Volume 4, Issue 3, Page 287-296, August 2025.
Abstract This study investigates the air–water interaction dynamics in jet streams, with particular emphasis on the transition from the cavity to the far‐field regions. A dual‐tip conductivity phase‐detection probe was employed to analyze four distinct downstream water levels.

Modeling Static Behavior of Rockfill Materials Based on Generalized Plasticity Model

open access: yesAdvances in Civil Engineering, 2019
Rockfill materials are commonly used for dam construction. Establishing an effective model that can reasonably describe the mechanical properties of rockfill material is very important for the calculation of earth-rock dam engineering.

Numerical analysis of earthquake response of an ultra-high earth-rockfill dam

open access: yes, 2013
Abstract. Failure of high earth dams under earthquake may cause disastrous economic damage and loss of lives. It is necessary to conduct seismic safety assessment, and numerical analysis is an effective way. Solid-fluid interaction has a significant influence on the dynamic responses of geotechnical materials, which should be considered in the seismic ...

Dynamic Risk Evaluation and Early Warning of Crest Cracking for High Earth-Rockfill Dams through Bayesian Parameter Updating

open access: yesApplied Sciences, 2020
Crest cracking is one of the most common damage types for high earth-rockfill dams. Cracking risk of dam crest is closely related to the duration of abnormal deformation state. In this paper, a methodology for dynamic risk evaluation and early warning of

Geophysical imaging of the subsurface seismic structure of the Chestnut Hill Reservoir earth embankment dam (Massachusetts)

open access: yesNear Surface Geophysics, Volume 23, Issue 2, Page 105-120, April 2025.
Abstract Degradation within a manmade earth embankment structure is often unobservable from the surface. In order to evaluate the structural integrity of earth embankment levees and dams and identify subsurface zones of weakness that may result in the future failures of such structures, various geophysical methods have been proposed as effective ...

A machine vision‐based intelligent segmentation method for dam underwater cracks using swarm optimization algorithm and deep learning

open access: yesComputer-Aided Civil and Infrastructure Engineering, Volume 40, Issue 10, Page 1405-1417, 18 April 2025.
Abstract Ensuring the safety of water networks is a research hotspot in the current water conservancy industry, and dams are an important part. However, over time, the dam is prone to varying degrees of aging and disease, most of which are structural cracks.
