Hydraulics of Selected Hydraulic Structures
Hydraulic structures are human-made systems interacting with surface runoff in urban and rural environments including structures to assist storm water drainage, flood mitigation, coastal protection, or enhancing and controlling flows in rivers and other water bodies.

LIDAR Scanning as an Advanced Technology in Physical Hydraulic Modelling: The Stilling Basin Example
In hydraulic engineering, stilling basin design is traditionally carried out using physical models, conducting visual flow observations as well as point-source measurements of pressure, flow depth, and velocity at locations of design relevance.

A pH-based pedotransfer function for scaling saturated hydraulic conductivity reduction: improved estimation of hydraulic dynamics in HYDRUS [PDF]
Hydraulic conductivity is a key soil property governing agricultural production and is thus an important parameter in hydrologic modeling. The pH scaling factor for saturated hydraulic conductivity (Ks) reduction in the HYDRUS model was reviewed and ...

Real-time imaging of pulvinus bending in Mimosa pudica [PDF]
Mimosa pudica is a plant that rapidly shrinks its body in response to external stimuli. M. pudica does not perform merely simple movements, but exhibits a variety of movements that quickly change depending on the type of stimuli.

Numerical simulations of unsteady flow field and non-uniform and non-equilibrium sediment transport in river bend [PDF]
Flow in river usually has a 3 dimensional character. While 3 dimensional flow simulations is time consuming process, enhanced 2D numerical modeling with depth and width averaged are introduced.

The Effect of Barrier on the Hydraulic Response of Composite Weir-Gate Structure [PDF]
The composite weir-gate structure is considered an important hydraulic structure. This is because of its widely used in civil engineering hydraulic works especially in an irrigation system to measure, control, divert and keep the required water level ...
