Response of Bed Shear Stress in Open-Channel Flow to a Sudden Change in Bed Roughness (Oct 2024, MPC-24-567)
The determination of bed shear stress plays a pivotal role in understanding the fluid dynamics in both natural and engineered channels. The commonly employed logarithmic law provides a mathematical formula to compute the bed shear stress in open-channel flows. However, its applicability in flow through...
Incorporating River Network Structure for Improved Hydrologic Design of Transportation Infrastructure (Mar 2020, MPC-20-412)
When designing transportation infrastructure, stormflow hydrographs are commonly estimated using synthetic unit hydrograph (UH) methods, particularly for ungauged basins. Current synthetic UHs either consider very limited aspects of basin geometry or require explicit representation of the basin flow...
