Abstract:AbstractResistive forces associated to boundary layers (‘friction’) are usually out of scale in physical models of hydraulic structures, especially in the case of hydraulically smooth walls, generating distortions in the model results known as scale effects, that can be problematic in some relevant engineering problems. These scale effects can be quantified and corrected using suitable numerical models. In this paper the accuracy of using numerical si… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
