This paper studies soil-erosion problem around cracked sewer pipes, which is usually
associated with groundwater infiltration in sewer systems. Four factors (soil-particle size …

Damage or deterioration of water distribution or storm water drain pipeline systems create a
problem of leakage, which has the potential to erode its surrounding soil. This erosion, if not …

Reservoir sedimentation is of worldwide concern, involving not only reservoir benefits, but
environmental and ecological issues. Sediment flushing is one of the most common and …

Sediment flushing in many reservoirs of the world is accomplished with low efficiency. In this
study, a new configuration was proposed for reservoir bottom outlet to increase the …

This article provides a comprehensive review and best practices for numerically simulating
hydraulic flushing for reservoir sediment management. Three sediment flushing types are …

In this study, the erodibility of fluidized cohesive sediments from the seabed of Hangzhou
Bay, China, was experimentally investigated in unidirectional open flows. The results …

When a dam is constructed on the rivers, it causes the sediments settle in the reservoir.
Therefore, the initial storage of the reservoir would reduce and it will have negative effects …

During pressure flushing of deposited sediments over large dam intakes, a funnel-shaped
crater is formed due to considerable shear flow around the opening. Experiments with …

Reservoir sedimentation is a long-term process with various risks, such as reduction of
storage capacity, hydropower generation and flood control functions throughout a reservoir's …

This thesis deals with the numerical computation of flow properties and the position of the
free water surface in turbulent water bodies. For this purpose the well-known and mass …
