Resistance and reconfiguration of natural flexible submerged vegetation in hydrodynamic river modelling [PDF]
, 2015 In-stream submerged macrophytes have a complex morphology and several species are not rigid, but are flexible and reconfigure along with the major flow direction to avoid potential damage at high stream velocities.

A model for estimating the hydraulic conductivity of bentonite under various density conditions
Hydrology Research, 2022 Bentonite is an important material for low-permeability engineering systems used in dams and hazardous waste facilities. While models to characterize the hydraulic conductivity of bentonite have been developed in previous studies, these models were not ...

Beam model for hydraulic fracturing [PDF]
Physical Review B, 1994 We investigate numerically the shape of cracks obtained in hydraulic fracturing at constant pressure using a square-lattice beam model with disorder. We consider the case in which only beams under tension can break, and discuss the conditions under which the resulting cracks may develop fractal patterns.

Effects of fracture aperture and roughness on hydraulic and mechanical properties of rocks : implication of seismic characterization of fractured reservoirs [PDF]
, 2005 Roughness and aperture are two important characteristic parameters controlling fluid flow in natural joints and fractures. It has been demonstrated by many authors that knowledge of roughness does not directly lead to that of aperture, and aperture ...

Integrated Hydrological-Hydraulic Model for Flood Simulation in Tropical Urban Catchment
Sustainability, 2019 In recent decades, Malaysia has become one of the world’s most urbanized nations, causing severe flash flooding. Urbanization should meet the population’s needs by increasing the development of paved areas, which has significantly changed the catchment’s

Hydraulic Modeling of a Mixed Water Level Control Hydromechanical Gate [PDF]
, 2011 This article describes the hydraulic behavior of a mixed water level control hydromechanical gate present in several irrigation canals. The automatic gate is termed "mixed" because it can hold either the upstream water level or the downstream water level
