Hydraulic jumps, frequently present in energy dissipation structures, have been thoroughly investigated over the past 70 years. However, studies have focused primarily on the more common and more stable cases of large ...

A cidade de São Luís é altamente influenciada pelas marés, condicionando a formação de uma cunha salina no interior dos rios presentes na área, caracterizados pela presença dos mangues na planície fluviomarinha. A grande ...

To the present day, hydraulic physical models are essential for hydrau-lic structures design validation and optimization. 'Traditional' modeling methods for hydraulic physical experimentation present some limitations and ...

The study of local scour in bridge foundations is often restricted to quantifying maximum scour depth on the upstream side. This is limiting to the understanding of the resulting scour by numerical methods, for which the ...

Spillways are a requirement for dams’ safety, mainly preventing overtopping during floods. A common spillway solution involves plunging jets, which dissipate a considerable flow energy in the plunge pool. Energy dissipation ...

Spillway design is key to the effective and safe operation of dams. Typically, the flow is characterized by high velocity, high levels of turbulence, and aeration. In the last two decades, advances in computational fluid ...
