متن کاملLarge - scale hydrologic and hydrodynamic modelling of the Amazon River basin 2 3 4 Rodrigo
22 23 In this paper, a hydrologic/hydrodynamic modelling of the Amazon River basin 24 is presented using the MGB-IPH model with a validation using remotely-sensed 25 observations. Moreover, the sources of model errors by means of the validation and 26 sensitivity tests are investigated and the physical functioning of the Amazon basin is 27 also explored. The MGB-IPH is a physically-based model ...
متن کاملRiprap sizing for scour protection at river confluence
River confluence is a common feature of most irrigation and drainage channels and river systems, where tributary conflicts the main channel. In these section, rapid changes in velocity and discharge, sediment distribution and flow turbulent result in a deep confluence scour, a bar point in the separation zone at downstream of junction corner and finally vortex flow. Thus, the main goal of this...
