Vertically Averaged and Moment Equations for Dam-Break Wave Modeling: Shallow Water Hypotheses
(MDPI, 2020)
[Abstract] The dam-break wave modeling technology relies upon the so-called shallow water equations (SWE), i.e., mass and momentum vertically averaged equations by implementing the shallow water hypotheses, namely (i) ...
Modelling Pluvial Flooding in Urban Areas Coupling the Models Iber and SWMM
(MDPI, 2020)
[Abstract] Dual urban drainage models allow users to simulate pluvial urban flooding by analysing the interaction between the sewer network (minor drainage system) and the overland flow (major drainage system). This work ...
Rainwater Harvesting Techniques to Face Water Scarcity in African Drylands: Hydrological Efficiency Assessment
(MDPI, 2020)
[Abstract] The sub-Saharan climate is experiencing a marked increase in temperature and intensification of precipitation intensity and variability. Besides, longer dry spells are compromising the reliability of local ...
Development and Calibration of a New Dripper-Based Rainfall Simulator for Large-Scale Sediment Wash-off Studies
(MDPI, 2020)
[Abstract] Rainfall simulators are useful tools for controlling the main variables that govern natural rainfall. In this study, a new drop-forming rainfall simulator, which consists of pressure-compensating dripper grids ...
Development of a global SDG progress index aimed at “leaving no one behind”
(MDPI, 2020)
[Abstract:] The United Nation’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) constitute a set of shared global objectives for the development over the coming years, which both developed and developing countries are working together ...

IberWQ: A GPU Accelerated Tool for 2D Water Quality Modeling in Rivers and Estuaries
(MDPI, 2020)
[Abstract] Numerical models are useful tools to analyze water quality by computing the concentration of physical, chemical and biological parameters. The present work introduces a two-dimensional depth-averaged model that ...
An Application of Fish Detection Based on Eye Search with Artificial Vision and Artificial Neural Networks
(MDPI AG, 2020-10-27)
[Abstract]
A fish can be detected by means of artificial vision techniques, without human intervention or handling the fish. This work presents an application for detecting moving fish in water by artificial vision based ...
Hydraulic, Wash-off and Sediment Transport Experiments in a Full-Scale Urban Drainage Physical Model
(Nature, 2020)
[Abstract] This paper presents a dataset obtained from hydraulic and sediment transport experiments performed in a full-scale urban drainage physical model of 36 m2. The study seeks to accurately measure sediment mobilization ...
An Augmented Reality Facility to Run Hybrid Physical-Numerical Flood Models
(MDPI, 2020)
[Abstract] This article presents a novel installation for the development of hybrid physical-numerical flood models in an augmented reality environment. This installation extends the concept introduced by the well-known ...
