This paper presents a coupled Galerkin finite element model for groundwater flow simulation (FEFLOW)
and Modified Method of Characteristics model for the simulation of solute transport (MMOCSOLUTE) in twodimensional,
transient, unconfined groundwater flow systems. The coupling factor is velocity field which is simulated
by finite element technique. The study mainly focuses on groundwater quality aspects hence the flow simulation
model has been kept conventional whereas the solute transport model is improvised by approximating dispersion term.
This coupled model is used to obtain the space and time distribution of head and concentration for the reported
synthetic test case. Further the sensitivity of model results to variation in parameters viz. porosity, dispersivity and
combined injection and pumping rates is analyzed. The model results are compared with the reported solutions of the
model presented by Chiang et al. (1989).

This summary provides the key points from the document in 3 sentences:
The document discusses various methods for measuring hydraulic conductivity in soils more accurately in the field, including using gravitational methods for saturated soils and the Proportional Cylinder and Arya-Dierolf models for unsaturated soils. It analyzes modifying Darcy's law to account for centrifugal force when measuring saturated soils and how the Proportional Cylinder and Arya-Dierolf models can help determine unsaturated pore size and estimate hydraulic conductivity. Accurately measuring hydraulic conductivity is important for environmental cleanup efforts to more efficiently remove contaminants from lands.

This document summarizes a research study that investigated how modifications to a river's physical specifications, like width and length, impact the coefficients of the Muskingum flood routing model. The researchers used a genetic algorithm to compute the nonlinear Muskingum model coefficients after altering the river width and length in their schematic model. They found a logical relationship between changes in the river characteristics and the model coefficients. The goal was to determine if a mathematical relationship could be derived to express how modifications to the physical properties affect the coefficients.

Mathematical models
Mathematical models can be represented by functional relationships that describe dependent variables as functions of independent variables. Darcy's law describes the flow of fluids through porous media using a proportional relationship between flow rate, viscosity, and pressure drop over a given distance. It is commonly used to model oil, water, and gas flows through petroleum reservoirs. The flow depends on permeability of the medium, cross-sectional area of flow, viscosity, length of the pressure drop, and the pressure difference between the inlet and outlet. Darcy's law has important applications in determining permeability, which measures a rock's ability to transmit fluids.

This document summarizes research on using fractal-based stochastic models to characterize heterogeneity in subsurface hydrology. It discusses how modern measurement techniques have revealed highly irregular and nonstationary property distributions in porous media. Researchers have explored using nonstationary stochastic processes with stationary increments to model these, which relates to the mathematical theory of stochastic fractals. The document reviews applications of Gaussian and Levy stochastic fractals and multifractals to model properties like porosity and hydraulic conductivity. It also discusses limitations like models based on increments being less predictive than stationary models, and issues around measuring media that exhibit variations on all scales. The conclusion is that additional data is needed to advance fractal-based theories, especially for 3D fracture networks.
Fluid kinematics
This document discusses fluid kinematics, which is the branch of fluid mechanics that deals with the geometry of motion of fluids without considering forces or energies. It describes Lagrangian and Eulerian methods for describing fluid motion, defines types of flow such as laminar, turbulent, steady, and unsteady. It also discusses concepts like acceleration fields, circulation, vorticity, streamlines, pathlines, streaklines, stream functions, and velocity potential functions. Flow nets, which use a grid of streamlines and equipotential lines, are introduced as a way to study two-dimensional irrotational flows.

The Effect of Geometry Parameters and Flow Characteristics on Erosion and Sed...
One of the most critical problems in the river
engineering field is scouring, sedimentation and morphology
of a river bed. In this paper, a finite volume method
FORTRAN code is provided and used. The code is able to
model the sedimentation. The flow and sediment were
modeled at the interception of the two channels. It is applied
an experimental model to evaluate the results. Regarding the
numerical model, the effects of geometry parameters such as
proportion of secondary channel to main channel width and
intersection angle and also hydraulic conditionals like
secondary to main channel discharge ratio and inlet flow
Froude number were studied on bed topographical and flow
pattern. The numerical results show that the maximum
height of bed increased to 32 percent as the discharge ratio
reaches to 51 percent, on average. It is observed that the
maximum height of sedimentation decreases by declining in
main channel to secondary channel Froude number ratio. On
the assessment of the channel width, velocity and final bed
height variations have changed by given trend, in all the
ratios. Also, increasing in the intersection angle accompanied
by decreasing in flow velocity variations along the channel.
The pattern of velocity and topographical bed variations are
also constant in any studied angles.
Poster format
This document summarizes a study that used computational fluid dynamics (CFD) to simulate flow patterns around six types of triangular porous weirs with various upstream and downstream slopes. The study examined flow depth, discharge through the porous media, and velocity fields. Key findings include:
- Weirs with steeper upstream slopes produced lower upstream water levels and higher ratios of flow passing through the weir.
- The weir with a 30° downstream slope produced the highest upstream head and lowest discharge coefficient.
- Flow through the porous weirs reduced upstream water levels and vortex areas compared to solid weirs.

The document presents a mathematical model for predicting the distribution of the liquid film in stratified-dispersed gas-liquid flows in horizontal pipelines. The model is based on the assumptions that liquid droplets can only be entrained from the thick liquid layer at the bottom of the pipe, and that smaller droplets deposit via eddy diffusion while larger droplets deposit gravitationally. The model considers the effects of gravitational drainage, droplet deposition and entrainment, and wave spreading on the liquid film distribution. The model is validated against experimental data and CFD simulations. Key findings are that gravitational drainage, droplet effects, and wave spreading determine the film distribution, with wave spreading making the film more uniform at high gas velocities or small pipes.

This document describes a numerical study of flow and energy dissipation in stepped spillways using the FLUENT software. Two stepped spillway models with 5 and 10 steps were analyzed for different flow rates. The k-ε turbulence model and volume of fluid method were used to model turbulence and free surface flow. Numerical results for flow patterns, velocities, and energy dissipation were compared to experimental data from other studies, showing good agreement with errors less than 2%. The results indicate that increasing the flow rate or number of steps reduces energy dissipation, while decreasing step height or length also reduces dissipation.
İn saturated groundwater flow
1. The document discusses representative hydraulic conductivities in saturated groundwater flow. It aims to synthesize and critically appraise results related to finding representative parameters that control average aquifer behavior at a given scale.
2. There are three related concepts defined - effective conductivity relates ensemble averages of flux and gradient, equivalent conductivity relates spatial averages within a volume, and interpreted conductivity is derived from field data interpretation.
3. Hydraulic conductivity is highly variable and heterogeneous, spanning over 12 orders of magnitude. Accounting for this heterogeneity is important for hydrologic analysis and flow modeling. The paper reviews works seeking representative parameters that can substitute heterogeneous distributions in groundwater flow equations.

Modelling variably saturated flow using cellular automata
The use of Cellular Automata is extended in various disciplines for the modeling of complex system procedures. Their inherent simplicity and their natural parallelism make them a very efficient tool for the simulation of large scale physical phenomena. We explore the framework of Cellular Automata to develop a physically based model for the spatial and temporal prediction of shallow landslides. Particular weight is given to the modeling of hydrological processes in order to investigate the hydrological triggering mechanisms and the importance of continuous modeling of water balance to detect timing and location of soil slips occurrences. Specifically, the 3D flow of water and the resulting water balance in the unsaturated and saturated zone is modeled taking into account important phenomena such as hydraulic hysteresis and evapotranspiration. In this poster the hydrological component of the model will be presented and tested against well established benchmark experiments [Vauclin et al, 1975; Vauclin et al, 1979]. Furthermore, we investigate the applicability of incorporating it in a hydrological catchment model for the prediction (temporal and spatial) of rainfall-triggered shallow landslides.

Reservoirs & Graphs
The document discusses different ways of representing water budgets and fluxes between reservoirs in a conceptual hydrological model. It proposes using a formalized set of symbols to represent different types of reservoirs, fluxes, inputs, outputs, and relationships in a clear and standardized way. This is aimed at building an "algebra of objects" to concisely capture the key interactions and mass balances governing a reservoir system. Examples are provided of simple reservoir models represented with this symbolic notation.

Abstract This paper describes an analytical approach to describe the areas where Pipes (used for flow of fluids) are mostly susceptible to damage and tries to visualize the flow behaviour in various geometric conditions of a pipe. Fluent software was used to plot the characteristics of the flow and gambit software was used to design the 2D model. Two phase Computational fluid dynamics calculations, using K-epsilon model were employed. This simulation gives the values of pressure and velocity contours at various sections of the pipe in which water as a media. A comparison was made with the sudden and gradual change of pipe diameter (i.e., expansion and contraction of the pipe). The numerical results were validated against experimental data from the literature and were found to be in good agreement. Index Terms: gambit, fluent software.
