Nonintrusive Method to Compute Water Discharge in Pipes with a Low Depth-to-Diameter Ratio Using Ultrasonic Doppler Velocimetry
(ASCE, 2015)
[Abstract] A nonintrusive method to calculate water depth and discharge in partially full pipes using data from a single ultrasonic Doppler velocimeter (UDV) profiler is presented. The position of the free surface is ...
Experimental and Numerical Analysis of Egg-Shaped Sewer Pipes Flow Performance
(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute, 2016)
A Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) model was developed to analyze the open-channel flow in a new set of egg-shaped pipes for small combined sewer systems. The egg-shaped cross-section was selected after studying several ...
Sustainable Urban Drainage Systems in Spain: A Diagnosis
(MDPI, 2021)
[Abstract] Sustainable urban drainage systems (SUDS) were almost unknown in Spain two decades ago; today, urban drainage in the country is transitioning towards a more sustainable and regenerative management in a global ...
Assessing Different Imaging Velocimetry Techniques to Measure Shallow Runoff Velocities During Rain Events Using an Urban Drainage Physical Model
(Copernicus GmbH, 2021)
[Abstract] Although surface velocities are key in the calibration of physically based urban drainage models, the shallow water depths developed during non-extreme precipitation and the potential risks during flood events ...
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 ...
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 ...
Drinking Water Provision and Quality at the Sahrawi Refugee Camps in Tindouf (Algeria) From 2006 to 2016
(Elsevier, 2021)
[Abstract] Drinking water provision has been a constant challenge in the Sahrawi refugee camps, located in the desert near Tindouf (Algeria). The drinking water supply system is itself divided in three zones which pump ...
Diseño de pavimentos permeables en España: situación actual y necesidades futuras
(Universitat Politècnica de València, 2022)
[Resumen:] Los sistemas de pavimento permeable son una de las técnicas de drenaje urbano sostenible mejor consideradas para la gestión sostenible de las aguas pluviales. El presente trabajo tiene como objetivos ...
Análisis integral del lavado y arrastre de sólidos en suspensión en cuencas urbanas utilizando un simulador de lluvia a escala real
(Universitat Politècnica de València, 2022)
[Resumen:] Ante la falta de datos experimentales precisos para el desarrollo y validación de modelos de lavado y transporte de sedimentos
en la superficie de cuencas urbanas, en este estudio se presenta una serie de ensayos ...
Editorial—Physical Modelling in Hydraulics Engineering
(MDPI, 2021)
[Abstract] Note: In lieu of an abstract, this is an excerpt from the first page: Laboratory experiments and field works play a crucial role in hydraulic research, development, and design as many hydraulic processes elude ...
