The scale of the channel is 1300m long and 30m wide, accompanying a flood area of 80m width. In the experiment works, a group of blocks were installed on the slope of the levee 10 and 20 m downstream from the artificial breach, and water was let flow from upstream. After the water was let flow, when the breach progressed downstream to the concrete armor blocks, the blocks protected the failure levee. The downstream progress of breach was expected to be arrested by the concrete blocks which were expected to weaken the inundation flow from the channel. The control effects by the concrete blocks were examined.
A new numerical model has been developed to investigate the hydrological and micrometeorological phenomena near around the 3D arbitrary-shaped boundary. This model has the following features.
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.
