1. Dynamic Warning Signals and Time Lag Analysis for Seepage Prediction in Hydropower Dams : A Case Study of a Swedish Hydropower Plant
University essay from Uppsala universitet/DatalogiAbstract : Hydropower is an important energy source since it is fossil-free, renewable, and controllable. Characteristics that become especially important as the reliance on intermittent energy sources increases. However, the dams for the hydropower plants are also associated with large risks as a dam failure could have fatal consequences. READ MORE

2. Geomechanical testing of non-hardening grout : for determination of flowability and strength properties
University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/GeoteknologiAbstract : Due to an increasing amount of aging tendencies in Swedish embankment dams, failures such as internal erosion has become a more common problem. Internal erosion is a phenomenon where certain soil material within the embankment dam is removed, often over a longer period of time. READ MORE

3. River-Aquifer Interaction in the Uppsala Esker - a Modelling Study of a Proposed Drinking Water Production site
University essay from Uppsala universitet/Luft-, vatten- och landskapsläraAbstract : The Swedish municipalities of Gävle and Älvkarleby need new sources of drinking water as the population grows. Gästrike vatten AB has employed the consultant firm Midvatten AB to assess the possibility of a new groundwater extraction site on the Uppsala esker between Älvkarleby and Skutskär in northern Uppland county.

4. Internal Erosion and Dam Stability : Analysis of the internal erosion effects on stability of an embankment dam
University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/GeoteknologiAbstract : Embankment dams encounter several problems in terms of dam safety. One of those problems is called internal erosion. This phenomenon is induced by the movement of fine particles within the dam due to seepage forces. If the dam is not able to self-heal, the eroded zones will increase which will eventually cause the dam to fail. READ MORE

5. Numerical Study on Seepage-induced Failure of Caisson Type Breakwaters Using a Stabilized ISPH
University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Teknisk vattenresursläraAbstract : This paper presents a stabilized incompressible smoothed particle hydrodynamics (ISPH) method to simultaneously simulate surface and seepage flow. The Navier-Stokes type equation, which manipulates the linear and nonlinear resistance effects caused from porous materials, are employed for tracking fluid motions in porous medium. READ MORE
