Extreme surface waves in a deep-water long-crested sea are often interpreted as a manifestation in the real world of the so-called breathing solitons of the focusing nonlinear Schrödinger equation. While the spontaneous emergence of such coherent structures from nonlinear wave dynamics was demonstrated to take place in fiber-optics systems, the same point remains far more controversial in the h...

Side weirs are flow diversion devices that are widely used in irrigation, drainage and urban sewage systems. The present study focuses on the investigation of the effect of oblique side weirs on the discharge coefficient of a side weir under subcritical flow condition in rectangular channels. In this study 106 laboratory tests were conducted and the results were analyzed to find out the influen...

Abstract In this research, the models of Inflatable weirs with internal pressures 0.5 and 1.4 at three heights 0.15, 0.2 0.25 m were constructed. The deflectors used in two geometric sections, including rectangular triangular shapes, they installed angles 30, 45, 60 degrees downstream weir body. results showed that value Cd changes between 0.28 0.35 while range ratio upstream flow head on crest...

ABSTRACT Fish traps and fish weirs built by Indigenous people in the Barwon‐Darling River system of Murray Darling Basin (MDB), south‐eastern Australia, are an important component their traditional social, spiritual economic systems. The celebrated Brewarrina stone ( Ngunnhu ) on Barwon largest best documented Basin. However, there has been minimal research many other this system. This paper fo...

Free crest spillways are hydraulically efficient and safe in operation. Since their discharge capacity is directly proportional to the crest length several types have been developed with the purpose to increase the length of the latter. Among these types traditional labyrinth weir spillways have been studied and used for a long time. Their hydraulic performance and the effect of the involved ge...

In this study, an integrated system for the comprehensive analysis of climate change, runoff, reservoir operation, and power generation was developed. In order to apply reliable climate change scenarios to the Geum River Basin, we applied representative concentration pathway (RCP) scenarios adopted by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change for its fifth assessment report in 2014 to the s...

The Deepwater Horizon oil spill released 134 million gallons of crude oil into the Gulf of Mexico making it the largest oil spill in US history and exposing fish, birds, and marine mammals throughout the Gulf of Mexico to its toxicity. Fish eating waterbirds such as the double-crested cormorant (Phalacrocorax auritus) were exposed to the oil both by direct contact with the oil and orally throug...
