Explicit Solution for Flow Depth in Open Channels of Trapezoidal Cross-Sectional Area: Classic Problem of Interest
(ASCE, 2017-07)
This study presents an explicit solution for the flow depth in open channels of trapezoidal cross-sectional area. Four depths are encountered in most classical open-channel hydraulics problems, namely normal depth, critical ...
Flood Prediction at The Northern Region of UAE
(EDP Sciences, 2017)
Frequent flooding has been recently observed in the northern
part of United Arab Emirates, particularly Ras Al Khaimah region (e.g.,
2010, 2011 and 2016 floods). These frequent flood events raised the need
for accurate ...
Green infrastructure in oil rich states; Abu Dhabi Emirate-Alain as a ca se study
(MATEC Web of Conferences, 2017)
The Abu Dhabi 2030 Vision highlights the importance of Sustainable Design and Green Infrastructure inside the UAE and internationally. Future development plans in Abu Dhabi and Alain developed by the Urban Planning Council-UPC ...
Explicit Solution for the Specific Flow Depths in Partially Filled Pipes
(ASCE, 2017-11)
This paper presents an explicit solution for the specific flow depths in partially filled pipes of circular cross-sectional area. Four depths encounter in most classical free-surface flow problems, namely the normal depth, ...
Investigating the Role of Clasts on the Movement of Sand in Gravel Bed Rivers
(American Society of Mechanical Engineers, 2011-08-15)
The bed morphology of mountain rivers is characterized primarily by the presence of distinguishable isolated roughness elements, such boulders or clasts. The objective of this experimental study was to provide a unique ...
Density Functions for Entrainment and Deposition Rates of Nonuniform Sediment
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2011-12-10)
A model was developed for the prediction of the density functions of entrainment and deposition rates of nonuniform sediment. The model incorporated both statistical and deterministic parameters in its formulation. The ...
Bedload Model for Nonuniform Sediment
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)
In this study, a bedload model for nonuniform sediment is developed considering the density function of sediment entrainment with no active layer. The model is formulated based on physical considerations, dimensional ...
Building on Water: The Use of Satellite Images to Track Urban Changes and Hydrodynamic Models to Simulate Flow Patterns Around Artificial Islands
(Springer, 2019)
Dubai’s interest to attract investors through exclusive urban enclaves is best exemplified by the artificial islands that reshaped much of its shoreline. Several artificial islands such as Palm Jumeirah, Palm Jebel Ali and ...
The new central business district in Abu Dhabi; high-rise buildings and sandstorms
(IOP Publishing, 2019)
The new Central Business District (CBD) of Abu Dhabi to be constructed in its desert hinterland is planned as part of the 2030 vision to reflect the image of a global city, and to attract investors through creating a ...
Integrating Hydrodynamic Models and Satellite Images to Implement Erosion Control Measures and Track Changes Along Streambanks
(Springer, 2019)
Dike structures are used to restore the original bankline by redirecting the flow away from the banks towards the center of the stream. 2D-hydrodynamic models integrated with satellite images proved to be a powerful tool ...
