Pilot Projects in Water Management: Practicing Change and Changing Practice

Pilot projects are widely applied in water management. They can be used to test risky innovations at confined scale, but can also be used to delay policy decisions or to advocate a particular innovation. In this book the phenomenon ‘pilot project’ is explored both theoretically and empirically. A framework to analyse pilot projects is developed...

The effect of the cell-Reynolds number in the numerical solution of the convection-diffusion equation

Internal memo. In the numerical solution of convection-diffusion equations a difficulty is commonly met in the occurrence of "standing waves" or spatial oscillations of a numerical origin. This has given rise to a considerable number of methods designed to avoid oscillations, often by means of upstream differencing or a similar approach in...
