Dynamic behaviour of hydraulic structures

English translation of ""Dynamisch gedrag van waterbouwkundige constructies". The subject is treated from the standpoint of hydrodynamics and applied mechanics, in which a certain knowledge of both fields of study is presupposed. The interaction phenomena are discussed on that basis. The subject matter is not treated exhaustively, but the book...

Flow-induced gate vibrations: Prevention of sef-excitation computation of dynamic gate behaviour and the use of models

The objective of this study is to develop design criteria for the dynamic behaviour of gates and valves. To this end, a resume of existing theories is given as well as an extended analysis of the added water mass, hydrodynamic rigidity and damping (also negative damping or self-excitation) and excitation by turbulent flow. New computation...
