A three-dimensional hydrodynamic Z-model was conceived for Lake Zurich (Switzerland, ZH) using the modeling software Delft3D. Calibration was performed on the thermal profile in 2017 at three monitoring stations located in both basins, and was validated on ...
River restoration has become a priority goal in many countries. The interest in rivers as valuable habitats for floral and faunal diversity and as an ecosystem with important functions has increased. For evaluating the structural changes from a river resto ...
In pumped-storage reservoirs, turbulent kinetic energy input from plant operation can be considerably high. Flow velocities were measured by Acoustic Doppler Current Profilers near the intake/outlet structure to describe flow patterns induced by pumped-sto ...

We investigate the performance of wavelet shrinkage methods for the denoising of symmetric-a-stable (S alpha S) self-similar stochastic processes corrupted by additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN), where a is tied to the sparsity of the process. The wavelet ...
In fishes, swimming performance is considered an important metric to measure fitness, dispersal and migratory abilities. The swimming performance of individual larval fishes is often integrated into models to make inferences on how environmental parameters ...
Nowadays, Liquid Composite Molding techniques are often used to manufacture high quality fiber reinforced composite parts at a relatively low cost. These involve an infiltration process, in which a liquid resin is forced to ingress into a dry fibrous porou ...
Stepped spillways have been built since several decades in combination with roller compacted concrete dams. More recently stepped spillways are also excavated into rock along the abutments of embankment dams. According to the prevailing topography these st ...
River training works performed in the last couple of centuries constrained the natural dynamics of channel networks in locations that include the confluences between tributaries and main channels. As a result, the dynamics of these confluences are currentl ...
Application of stepped spillways increases the energy dissipation rate along the spillway and may reduce the dimensions of the terminal energy dissipation structure. This pronounced energy dissipation makes stepped chutes attractive under various condition ...
