This title discusses the applications of software in hydraulic engineering and water resources. It contains the edited proceedings of the Fifth International Conference on Hydraulic Engineering Software, held in Greece in September 1994.
Hydraulic engineering is well-suited to the application of numerical analysis, and has therefore benefited greatly from the capabilities of the latest generation of powerful desktop computers. Demonstrating many of these benefits, this volume features papers from the Eighth International Conference on Hydraulic Engineering Software. Contributions come from scientists in industry, academia, government, and research organizations around the world, and emphasis is placed on the development of software in three main areas of interest, namely groundwater flow, open channel flow and pressure flow. There are also contributions on the subjects of data acquisition and experimentation, and flood and drought hazard assessment.
The book presents state-of-the-art works in computational engineering. Focus is on mathematical modeling, numerical simulation, experimental validation and visualization in engineering sciences. In particular, the following topics are presented: constitutive models and their implementation into finite element codes, numerical models in nonlinear elasto-dynamics including seismic excitations, multiphase models in structural engineering and multiscale models of materials systems, sensitivity and reliability analysis of engineering structures, the application of scientific computing in urban water management and hydraulic engineering, and the application of genetic algorithms for the registration of laser scanner point clouds.
Modeling of the rainfall-runoff process is of both scientific and practical significance. Many of the currently used mathematical models of hydrologic systems were developed a genera tion ago. Much of the effort since then has focused on refining these models rather than on developing new models based on improved scientific understanding. In the past few years, however, a renewed effort has been made to improve both our fundamental understanding of hydrologic processes and to exploit technological advances in computing and remote sensing. It is against this background that the NATO Advanced Study Institute on Recent Advances in the Modeling of Hydrologic Systems was organized. The idea for holding a NATO ASI on this topic grew out of an informal discussion between one of the co-directors and Professor Francisco Nunes-Correia at a previous NATO ASI held at Tucson, Arizona in 1985. The Special Program Panel on Global Transport Mechanisms in the Geo-Sciences of the NATO Scientific Affairs Division agreed to sponsor the ASI and an organizing committee was formed. The committee comprised the co directors, Professor David S. Bowles (U.S.A.) and Professor P. Enda O'Connell (U.K.), and Professor Francisco Nunes-Correia (Portugal), Dr. Donn G. DeCoursey (U.S.A.), and Professor Ezio Todini (Italy).
Brings together classical and recent developments on the application of integral equation numerical techniques for the solution of fluid dynamic problems.
