Experimental observations, model evaluations, and expert judgements are combined to make predictions of snow velocity in large chute experiments. Different experimental treatments, namely the environmental conditions snow density and snow-surface temperature, affect all aspects of this inference. We show how treatments can be incorporated into our judgements regarding the uncertain parameters o...

Recently, particular attention has been paid to the stepped spillways due to the increasing effect of energy dissipation and the reduction of cavitations risks with the development of Roller Compacted Concrete (RCC) technique. Flow regimes on the spillways divide into three groups, namely skimming, jet and transition flow. Compared to the numerical methods, the majority of performed studies in ...

Three-dimensional (3D) simulations using the smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) method were performed for smooth and stepped spillways with converging walls, in order to evaluate influence of wall deflection step macro-roughness on main non-aerated flow properties. The encompassed a 1V:2H sloping spillway, convergence angles 9.9° 19.3°, discharges corresponding skimming regime, chute. overal...
