A Numerical Modelling of Nature-Like Fish Passage Using a 2D Shallow Water Model

The purpose of this study is to determine the ability of a 2D code (River2D) to model flow through rock-ramp type nature-like fish pass and its limitations.

Hydraulic Simulation of Extreme Flow and Flood Maps in Uruguay River Reach, in Uruguaiana Municipality, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil.

The growth of urbanized areas in Brazil has taken place in an accelerated way and, in most cases, it occurs without the proper approach on issues related to urban drainage and the delimitation of flood risk areas. There is an increasing on the number …

Java Routines for Transient Analysis in Dams Penstocks

The study of transient flows in forced conduits is important for security in projects of penstock systems. The quantification of flow parameters such as pressure, velocity and frequencies of oscillations are aspects of interest for sizing tubular …

Influence of changing penstocks diameters during transients

This paper presents simulations of transient flow in closed conduits under diameter size changes. These transients can be produced either by sudden flow interruptions or by forced oscillations on the pressure field of the system. The effect of …

Transients in Dam’s Penstocks - Case Studies

This work presents a synthesis of previously carried out studies related to transient flows in water pipes. Results obtained from developed computational routines will be confronted with cases from the literature and previous simulations from the …
