Introduction: Studying the changes in surface water storage and exchanges with groundwater in the hydrological system of rivers is a prerequisite for water resources management in the basin. In this paper, Zayandehrood River has been studied and the historical series of flow has been used in six hydrographic stations located downstream the Zayandehrood Dam. Materials and Methods: Based on the ...

A modified moving particle semi-implicit (MPS) method based on GPU acceleration technique is applied to simulate three-dimensional (3-D) free surface flow by using our in-house solver MPSGPU-SJTU in this work. In order to validate MPSGPU-SJTU solver, 3-D dam break and sloshing, two typical violent flows with large deformation and nonlinear fragmentation of free surface are simulated. For dam br...

Dams are man-made structures that in order to keep functioning and to be considered structurally healthy need constant monitoring. Assessing the deformation of dams can be time consuming and economically costly. Recently, the technique of Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR) has proved its potential to measure ground and structural deformation. This geodetic method represents a cost...

New air–water flow experiments were conducted in the leading edge of dam break waves. The data highlighted the chaotic nature of the surge and provided new insights in the distributions of void fraction, velocity and air/water chord sizes. The results demonstrated a highly aerated surge front with a developing turbulent boundary layer.At the leading edge, observed mean air contents exceeded 40 ...

The prediction of large-scale hydrodynamic events such as tsunami spread and run-up, dam break, flood, or landslide run-out is a challenging and important problem of applied mathematics and scientific computing. The paper presents a computational approach based on free surface flow models for fluids of complex rheology to simulate such events and phenomena with detail and prediction confidence ...

We propose a deep representation of appearance, i. e. the relation of color, surface orientation, viewer position, material and illumination. Previous approaches have used deep learning to extract classic appearance representations relating to reflectance model parameters (e. g. Phong) or illumination (e. g. HDR environment maps). We suggest to directly represent appearance itself as a network ...

The evolutions of practices of seismic slope stability analysis of earth embankment/dam are discussed in this paper. The basic concepts of various methods, salient features, advantages and limitations of each of them are elucidate. Methods for both stability analysis and deformation calculation are presented. Methods for calculation of deformation of post liquefaction stage are also briefed.
