Aznalcóllar dam failure. Part 1: Field observations and material properties

Microwave Moisture Sensing of Seedcotton: Part 1: Seedcotton Microwave Material Properties

Moisture content at harvest is a key parameter that impacts quality and how well the cotton crop can be stored without degrading before processing. It is also a key parameter of interest for harvest time field trials as it can directly influence the quality of the harvested crop as well as skew the results of in-field yield and quality assessments. Microwave sensing of moisture has several uniq...

Investigate probability of damage of Earth dam under Near-field and Far –field earthquake : Case study Gotvand earth dam

The main goal of preset research is investigate the effects of vertical component of Near-Fault and Far-Field earthquake records on the probability of overtopping induced damage of earth dam due to the reduction of freeboard due to the settlement of dam crest. In this respect 12 different earthquake record are selected. Nonlinear dynamic analysis of earth dam is implemented with FLAC 3D using F...

Well - Balanced Finite Volume schemes for 2 D non - homogeneous hyperbolic systems . Application to the Dam - break of Aznalcóllar . ∗

In this paper we introduce a class of well-balanced Finite Volume schemes for 2D non-homogeneous hyperbolic systems. We extend the derivation of standard Finite Volume solvers for homogeneous systems to non-homogeneous ones using the method of lines. We study conservation and some well-balanced properties of the numerical scheme. We apply our solvers to Shallow Water Equations: We prove that th...
