A tidal bore is a positive surge propagating upstream as the tidal flow turns to rising in river mouths exhibiting a converging funnelled channel forms during low freshwater conditions. While some recent laboratory experiments brought new insights to the turbulent motion generated by tidal bores, a numerical model based upon the Navier-Stokes equations is proposed to investigate the complicated...

The relative importance of hydrological conditions and upstream processes on the input and transport of organic carbon from land to sea was investigated in the Mullica River, a small system located in the southeastern New Jersey (USA), using molecular and dC compositions. Sediment and particulate organic carbon (POC) samples were collected along the river, from upstream (draining predominantly ...

[1] Knowledge of water‐surface velocities in rivers is useful for understanding a wide range of lotic processes and systems, such as water and ice fluxes and forces, mixing, solute and sediment transport, bed and bank stability, aquatic and riparian ecology, and extreme hydrologic events. In cold regions, river‐ice break up and the associated downstream transport of ice debris is often the most...

in order to determine hydrological behavior and water management of sepidroud river (north of iran-guilan) the present study has focused on stream flow prediction by using artificial neural network. ten years observed inflow data (2000-2009) of sepidroud river were selected; then these data have been forecasted by using neural network. finally, predicted results are compared to the observed dat...

recognizing of river flow pattern, deposition and erosion areas in meanders is highly important. despite the limitations of the physical models in laboratory investigation of flow pattern in meanders, mathematical models can be helpful. in this research, rsm and les turbulence models have been compared on sharp river bend of a laboratory flume using fluent software. the laboratory flume is a sh...

The article presents the analysis of changes in annual flow Kura River and its large transboundary tributaries, resulting from climate change anthropogenic factors, mainly irrigated agriculture. It is shown that a significant regime began after construction multi-purpose Mingachevir reservoir 1953. Morevoer, observed river basin since mid 1990s manifests itself by an increase air temperature de...

the aim of this paper is to study the popular models used for the simulation of major elements of a water quality system. the present study compares results of the ce-qual-w2 model with the wasp5 and mike11 models to assess the water quality of pasikhan river. the contaminant loadings of nitrate and phosphate are utilized in the ce-qual-w2, wasp5 and mike11 simulations. this study is the first ...

in this paper wave transformation in a submerged sloped breakwater and its hydraulic performance was simulated by developing a numerical model in fortran. the code was established by combining porous flow and a two-phase model using vof method. modified navier-stokes and k-ε equations implemented to the model to simulate the flow in porous media. cut cell method was modified to simulate fluid t...
