At the northern part of The Netherlands closure dam Afsluitdijk is situated. It primary flood defense that closes off Lake IJssel from Wadden Sea to protect provinces against storm surges. This structure was built in 1930’s and needed be improved withstand foreseen increase surge conditions sea level rise. consists a 32 km long with five discharge sluices for regulating water at IJssel. Three t...

Abstract The Mirim and Patos Lagoons form the largest lagoon complex in South America. Wind is one of dominant climatic elements circulation water levels basin. Therefore, we aimed to better understand effects wind on Mirim–São Gonçalo watershed by applying MGB hydrological model assess whether it would produce satisfactory results for modeling. Various tests were performed determine best repre...

abstract accurate water measurement and delivery are basic issues in irrigation networks management and performance. in this regard, baffle modules have been considered as appropriate means for delivering almost constant discharge within a specific range of upstream water variation. the structure is meant for low discharge delivery and could be employed in farm irrigation. however, the design c...

in the present work, an engineering method is developed to predict laminar and turbulent heating-rate solutions for blunt reentry spacecraft at hypersonic conditions. the calculation of aerodynamic heating around blunt bodies requires alternative solution of inviscid flow field around the hypersonic bodies. in this paper, the procedure is of an inverse nature, that is, a shock wave is assumed a...
