Dynamic modeling of the servovalves incorporated in the servo hydraulic system of the 70-meter DSN antennas [PDF]

open access: yes
As the pointing accuracy and service life requirements of the DSN 70 meter antenna increase, it is necessary to gain a more complete understanding of the servo hydraulic system in order to improve system designs to meet the new requirements.

Using global datasets to estimate flood exposure at the city scale: an evaluation in Addis Ababa

open access: yesFrontiers in Environmental Science
Introduction: Cities located in lower income countries are global flood risk hotspots. Assessment and management of these risks forms a key part of global climate adaptation efforts. City scale flood risk assessments necessitate flood hazard information,

Measured pressures on the basis of bottom slab with gaps in the flow direction in a channel

open access: yesRevista Facultad de Ingeniería Universidad de Antioquia, 2013
A study was conducted to determine whether the back edges of the longitudinal gaps of a floor tile fixed to the bottom of a canal with a supercritical flow convert kinetic energy into pressure energy using Froude numbers in the range of 2.84 to 10.12 ...

A Hydraulic Model Is Compatible with Rapid Changes in Leaf Elongation under Fluctuating Evaporative Demand and Soil Water Status1[C][W][OPEN]

open access: yesPlant Physiology, 2014
Changes in evaporative demand or soil water status affect maize leaf growth in less than 1 h, considerably quicker than their effects on transpiration and leaf water potential, consistent with a hydraulic model. Plants are constantly facing rapid changes

Integration of 2-D hydraulic model and high-resolution lidar-derived DEM for floodplain flow modeling

open access: yes, 2015
The rapid progress of lidar technology has made the acquirement and application of high-resolution digital elevation model (DEM) data increasingly popular, especially in regards to the study of floodplain flow.

Integrated Flood Management for Beiyun River, China

open access: yesJournal of Hydrology and Hydromechanics, 2013
Beiyun River Basin is holistically suffering a water shortage and relatively concentrated flood risk. The current operation (level-control) of dams and floodgates, which is in passive defense mode, cannot meet the demands of both flood control and storm ...

Developing Guidelines for Two-Dimensional Model Review and Acceptance [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Two independent modelers ran two hydraulic models, SRH-2D and HEC-RAS 2D. The models were applied to the Lakina River (MP 44 McCarthy Road) and to Quartz Creek (MP 0.7 Quartz Creek Road), which approximately represent straight and bend flow conditions ...

Numerical and physical model study of a vertical slot fishway

open access: yesJournal of Hydrology and Hydromechanics, 2014
This paper presents the results of an experimental and numerical study of a vertical slot fishway (VSF). A 2-D depth-averaged shallow water numerical model PCFLOW2D coupled with three different turbulent models (constant eddy viscosity, Smagorinsky and k

The brittleness index in hydraulic fracturing [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
We present a new definition of a brittleness index which is used as a criterion for candidate selection of rock intervals for hydraulic fracturing. The new index is a combination of material strength parameters and insitu stresses. It was derived from an

Analysis of the Impact of Hydraulic Gates on a Stabilized Tidal Inlet Structure: Mathematical Model and Data Measurements

open access: yesHydrology
Tidal inlet structures are engineering projects with associated benefits related to flood control, water quality enhancement, and coastal protection. This study analyzes the performance of hydraulic gates on a stabilized inlet in estuarine systems by ...
