Download or read book Dam break Problems Solutions and Case Studies written by D. De Wrachien and published by WIT Press. This book was released on 2009 with total page 369 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The aim of the book is to give an up-to-date review on dam-break problems, along with the main theoretical background and the practical aspects involved in dam failures, design of flood defense structures, prevention measures and the environmental social, economic and forensic aspects related to the topic. Moreover, an exhaustive range of laboratory tests and modeling techniques is explored to deal effectively with shock waves and other disasters caused by dam failures. Disaster management refers to programs and strategies designed to prevent, mitigate, prepare for, respond to and recover from the effects of these phenomena.To manage and minimize these risks, it is necessary to identify hazards and vulnerability by means of a deep knowledge of the causes which drive to dam failures, and to understand the flow propagation process.Knowledge and advanced scientific tools play a role of paramount importance of coping with flooding and other dam-break problems along with capacity building in the context of political and administrative frameworks. All these aspects are featured in the book, which is a comprehensive treaty that covers the most theoretical and advanced aspects of structural and hydraulic engineering, together with the hazard assessment and mitigation measures and the social economic and forensic aspects related to subject.

Book excerpt: The dam-break analysis is one of the problems that has greatly attracted the interest of researchers in the field of applied mathematics and fluid mechanics. One of the main issues is the suitability of numerical treatment to capture the sudden movement of water after the breaking of the dam. Hyperbolic systems of partial differential equations can be used to model a wide variety of phenomena that involve wave motion or advective transport of substances. For dam-break problem, such a system of equation is generally nonlinear which makes the problem too difficult to solve exactly. Numerical approximations are generally sought. Many numerical methods are now at hand to solve the model equations. Among these the finite volume formulation has been widely accepted in modeling strategy for its accuracy and robustness. Here, we shall improve its efficiency by including the adaptive mesh refinement method in the calculation of dam-break solution.

Download or read book Water Waves The Mathematical Theory with Applications written by James Johnston Stoker and published by Courier Dover Publications. This book was released on 2019-04-17 with total page 593 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1957, this is a classic monograph in the area of applied mathematics. It offers a connected account of the mathematical theory of wave motion in a liquid with a free surface and subjected to gravitational and other forces, together with applications to a wide variety of concrete physical problems. A never-surpassed text, it remains of permanent value to a wide range of scientists and engineers concerned with problems in fluid mechanics. The four-part treatment begins with a presentation of the derivation of the basic hydrodynamic theory for non-viscous incompressible fluids and a description of the two principal approximate theories that form the basis for the rest of the book. The second section centers on the approximate theory that results from small-amplitude wave motions. A consideration of problems involving waves in shallow water follows, and the text concludes with a selection of problems solved in terms of the exact theory. Despite the diversity of its topics, this text offers a unified, readable, and largely self-contained treatment.

Download or read book Hardy Operators On Euclidean Spaces And Related Topics written by Shanzhen Lu and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 2023-03-23 with total page 215 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In many branches of mathematical analysis and mathematical physics, the Hardy operator and Hardy inequality are fundamentally important and have been intensively studied ever since the pioneer researches. This volume presents new properties of higher-dimensional Hardy operators obtained by the authors and their collaborators over the last decade. Its prime focus is on higher-dimensional Hardy operators that are based on the spherical average form.The key motivation for this monograph is based on the fact that the Hardy operator is generally smaller than the Hardy-Littlewood maximal operator, which leads to, on the one hand, the operator norm of the Hardy operator itself being smaller than the latter. On the other hand, the former characterizing the weight function class or function spaces is greater than the latter.

This book was released on 2023-02-02 with total page 326 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This monograph is devoted to the existence and stability (Ulam-Hyers-Rassias stability and asymptotic stability) of solutions for various classes of functional differential equations or inclusions involving the Hadamard or Hilfer fractional derivative. Some equations present delay which may be finite, infinite, or state-dependent. Others are subject to impulsive effect which may be fixed or non-instantaneous.Readers will find the book self-contained and unified in presentation. It provides the necessary background material required to go further into the subject and explores the rich research literature in detail. Each chapter concludes with a section devoted to notes and bibliographical remarks and all abstract results are illustrated by examples. The tools used include many classical and modern nonlinear analysis methods such as fixed-point theorems, as well as some notions of Ulam stability, attractivity and the measure of non-compactness as well as the measure of weak noncompactness. It is useful for researchers and graduate students for research, seminars, and advanced graduate courses, in pure and applied mathematics, physics, mechanics, engineering, biology, and all other applied sciences.

Download or read book Unified Lagrangian Formulation for Fluid and Solid Mechanics Fluid Structure Interaction and Coupled Thermal Problems Using the PFEM written by Alessandro Franci and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-10-04 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book treats the derivation and implementation of a unified particle finite element formulation for the solution of fluid and solid mechanics, Fluid-Structure Interaction (FSI) and coupled thermal problems. FSI problems are involved in many engineering branches, from aeronautics to civil and biomedical engineering. The numerical method proposed in this book has been designed to deal with a large part of these. In particular, it is capable of simulating accurately free-surface fluids interacting with structures that may undergo large displacements, suffer from thermo-plastic deformations and even melt. The method accuracy has been successfully verified in several numerical examples. The thesis also contains the application of the proposed numerical strategy for the simulation of a real industrial problem. This thesis, defended at the Universitat Politecnica de Catalunya in 2015, was selected (ex aequo) as the best PhD thesis in numerical methods in Spain for the year 2015 by the Spanish Society of Numerical Methods in Engineering (SEMNI).
