Modelling preferential flow induced by dynamic changes of desiccation cracks: A comparative numerical study

Quantitative investigation on the preferential flow induced by desiccation cracks (PF-DC) remains a great challenge due to the soil shrinking-swelling behavior. This work presents a series of comparative numerical studies to investigate the accuracy and substitutability of different models in simulating the water flux, hydrological response...

Individual wave height distributions in the coastal zone: Measurements and simulations and the effect of directional spreading

Characteristics of the individual wave height distribution in shallow water have been investigated using measured wave data and results of numerical simulations using the non-hydrostatic SWASH model. It is shown that the SWASH model is capable of reproducing the temporal and spatial variation of surface elevation in a wave flume and the...

Viscoplasticity for instabilities due to strain softening and strain-rate softening

A Numerical Wave Model for the Refraction and Diffraction of Irregular Waves. Part II: Numerical Experiments of the Wave Model CREON

The numerical wave model CREON is developed to predict the propagation and transformation of wave properties in shallow water. In Gao et al. (1993), which is referred to as Part I in the following, a description is given of the theoretical and numerical treatment of the model. In the present report, we present various computational results. The...
