This paper presents a methodology for the integrated planning of urban development, overland flow and flood mitigation and control. The sewer network is sized for a 5-year return period, but the appropriate landscape ...

O presente trabalho de investigação tem por objectivo o desenvolvimento e a aplicação de uma proposta de metodologia para a elaboração de um plano de reabilitação de sistemas de abastecimento de água. A metodologia ...

Due to the increased frequency of extreme events caused by climate change, flooding in urban areas are becoming increasingly frequent. The village of Agualva, located in Terceira Island (Azores, Portugal), suffered a severe ...

Lead time between rainfall prediction results and flood prediction results obtained by hydraulic simulations is one of the crucial factors in the implementation of real-time flood forecasting systems. Therefore, hydraulic ...

This paper is aimed at presenting i) a simple, yet sound, conceptual model applicable to the simulation of erosion, deposition and transport of cohesionless sediment in stratified flows under high shear stresses and ii) ...

Defina-se escoamento geomórfico como um escoamento pouco profundo susceptível de causar elevados impactes morfológicos num trecho de canal com leito móvel. Constata-se que um dos aspectos mais sensíveis na modelação ...

Laboratory experiments were conducted to investigate the hydraulic behaviour of plunging turbidity currents in reservoirs. One-dimensional turbidity currents driven by uniform non-cohesive sediment (silica flour) were generated ...

An image analysis technique is used to evaluate time-space varying density distribution of unsteady density currents produced by full-depth lock-release of saline water. Density currents with four initial densities were ...
