The dramatic effect of flow through macropores and hardpan fissures on artificial drainage in shallow sloping soils is demonstrated. Implications of these preferential flow mechanisms on drainage design and water management are discussed. In designing drainage systems on these types of soils, more emphasis should be given to the characteristics of the hardpan.

In the following case study, we consider the so-called shallow water equations. They describe the behaviour of a fluid, in particular water, of a certain (possibly varying) depth h in a twodimensional domain – imagine, for example, a puddle of water or a shallow pond (and compare the 1D sketch given in Figure 1). The main modelling assumption is that we can neglect effects of flow in vertical d...

This paper presents the detailed simulation of two-dimensional incompressible laminar wall jet flow over a shallow cavity. The flow characteristics of wall jet with respect to aspect ratio (AR), step length (X u), and Reynolds number (Re) of the shallow cavity are expressed. For higher accuracy, third-order discretization is applied for momentum equation which is solved using QUICK scheme with ...

Transport of Cryptosporidium parvum through macroporous soils is poorly understood yet critical for assessing the risk of groundwater contamination. We developed a conceptual model of the physics of flow and transport in packed, tilted, and vegetated soilboxes during and immediately after a simulated rainfall event and applied it to 54 experiments implemented with different soils, slopes, and r...

[1] The tidal flow field in a basin of small dimensions with respect to the tidal wavelength is calculated. Under these conditions, the tide becomes a standing wave oscillating synchronously (with a flat water surface) over the whole basin. The shallow water equations can thus be strongly simplified, expressing the discharge vector field in terms of a potential function and a stream function. T...

subsea structures such as manifolds, line pipes and flow lines are important investments. also because of the sensitivity of environmental issues, corrosion of these structures is of vital importance. subsea corrosion management is different from on-shore and shallow water off-shore corrosion management in mainly three factors: materials, corrosion management practice and cathodic protection. t...

the mikkes basin is located at the north center of morocco. it comprises three different zones which represent diversified geologies which shelter a phreatic and confined aquifer in the sais basin and a shallow aquifer in the tabular middle atlas. the springs in the sais phreatic aquifer have suffered a maximum depletion. the springs with a deep or mixed origin are known as low flow variation s...

In this study, we investigated the effect of hull dynamics in shallow water on the hydrodynamic performance of rowing shells as well as canoes and kayaks. An approach was developed to generate data in a towing tank using a test rig capable of reproducing realistic speed profiles. The impact of unsteady shallow-water effects on wave-making resistance was examined via experimental measurements on...
