In this paper we construct a numerical solver for the Saint Venant equations. Special attention is given to the balancing of the source terms, including the bottom slope and variable crosssectional profiles. Therefore a special discretization of the pressure law is used, in order to transfer analytical properties to the numerical method. Based on this approximation a wellbalanced solver is deve...

We present a new hybrid numerical method for computing the transport of a passive pollutant by a flow. The flow is modeled by the Saint-Venant system of shallow water equations and the pollutant propagation is described by a transport equation. The idea behind the new finite-volume-particle (FVP) method is to use different schemes for the flow and the pollution computations: the shallow water e...

The study of mechanisms that allow the formation of structures such as sand dunes and ripples at the bottom of a fluid flow plays a crucial role in the understanding of coastal dynamics. The modeling of these phenomena is particularly complex since we must not only solve the Navier-Stokes or Saint-Venant equations with equation for sediment transport, but also take into account the evolution of...

Using backstepping design, exponential stabilization of the linearized Saint-Venant–Exner (SVE) model of water dynamics in a sediment-filled canal with arbitrary values of canal bottom slope, friction, porosity, andwater–sediment interaction, is achieved. The linearized SVEmodel consists of two rightward convecting transport Partial Differential Equations (PDEs) and one leftward convecting tran...

The paper discusses the new design of a round pile with relatively smoother surface, developed in an attempt to eliminate excessive negative friction forces. A theoretical study has been conducted into performance asbestos-cement shell exposed off-center loading, which occurs response uneven deformations surrounding soil and seismic loads. cross section upper eccentrically compressed part flexi...
