Water, Vol. 12, Pages 2419: Simulation of a Hydrostatic Pressure Machine with Caffa3d Solver: Numerical Model Characterization and Evaluation Water doi: 10.3390/w12092419 Authors: Rodolfo Pienika Gabriel Usera Helena M. Ramos The Hydrostatic Pressure Machine (HPM) is a novel energy converter for micro and pico hydropower that becomes very suitable for installation in channels with very low head, where conventional hydraulic turbines are inadequate or too expensive. Although this...

Water, Vol. 12, Pages 2418: Application of the Segregation Potential Model to Freezing Soil in a Closed System Water doi: 10.3390/w12092418 Authors: Xiyan Zhang Yu Sheng Long Huang Xubin Huang Binbin He Previous studies have shown that an accurate prediction of frost heaves largely depends on the pore water pressure and hydraulic conductivity of frozen fringes, which are difficult to determine. The segregation potential model can avoid this problem; however, the conventional...

Water, Vol. 12, Pages 2416: Effects of Nonhomogeneous Soil Characteristics on the Hydrologic Response: A Case Study Water doi: 10.3390/w12092416 Authors: JiHyeong Hwang HyungKeun Lee Khil Lee This study examined how different nonhomogeneous soil characteristics affected hydrologic responses in rainfall-runoff models. The cell-based FLO-2D and lumped Hydrologic Engineering Center Hydrologic Modeling System (HEC-HMS) were setup. Then, water loss parameters of both the Green-Ampt...

Water, Vol. 12, Pages 2417: Internal Erosion Failure of Uniform Sands under Confinement and Constricted Seepage Exit Water doi: 10.3390/w12092417 Authors: Kuang-Tsung Chang Kevin Zeh-Zon Lee Han-Yu Wu Seepage water may move soil particles and cause internal erosion of soils, leading to sinkholes and the collapse of embankments and slopes. To account for the effects of confinement and constricted seepage exit, a test apparatus was developed to study the internal erosion of granular...

Water, Vol. 12, Pages 2412: Land Use and Water Quality Water doi: 10.3390/w12092412 Authors: Brian Kronvang Frank Wendland Karel Kovar Dico Fraters The interaction between land use and water quality is of great importance worldwide as agriculture has been proven to exert a huge pressure on the quality of groundwater and surface waters due to excess losses of nutrients (nitrogen and phosphorous) through leaching and erosion processes. These losses result in, inter alia, high...
