Sediment transport modeling is of primary importance for the determination channel design velocity in lined channels. This study proposes to model sediment open flow using kernel ridge regression (KRR), a nonlinear technique formulated reproducing Hilbert space. While naïve approach provides high flexibility purposes, regularized variant equipped with an additional mechanism better generalizati...

Abstract Bridge pier is a common feature in hydraulic structure. Its impact to the river usually occurs group form rather than single pier, so this challenging piers-group influence towards hydraulics and turbulence needs be explored. In paper, measurements were conducted using an Acoustic doppler velocimeter (ADV) study velocities three dimensions (longitudinal, transversal, vertical). Based o...

The background to this research was a flooding incident that occurred in Bridgend, Co. Donegal, Ireland August 2017. While several properties were flooded, case study of single dwelling house adjacent the Bridgend River at Riverdale, Bunamayne, is used herein. For flooded site shall be referred as “Hegarty property”. A structure form stone arched culvert located directly two-storey detached on ...
