We address the problem of coupling 1D St-Venant equations (Shallow Water) with 2D ones, as applied to floodplain flows (river hydraulics). Continuous coupling conditions are derived, while numerical coupling is done using optimal control processes. In a variationnal data assimilation context, this approach allows to couple both models and assimilate data simultaneously. Two different versions o...

Over the past decades, significant advances have been achieved in hydraulic structures for dams, namely water release such as spillway weirs, chutes, and energy dissipators. This editorial presents a brief overview of eleven papers this Special Issue, Advances Spillway Hydraulics: From Theory to Practice, frames them current research trends. Issue explores following topics: inlet structures, tr...
