1. 21. Regional Regression Models of Mean Annual Streamflow and Design Flow in a Tropical Region of Colombia.

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Teknisk vattenresurslära

   Author : Anisa Zigaf Elfellah; Amanda Eriksson; [2018]
   Keywords : mean annual streamflow; extreme flow; design flow; regional regression model; ungauged watershed; hydrological homogeneous region; Gumbel distribution; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : A responsible and sustainable water resources management is important. It is also crucial to take the presence of watercourses into account during design of hydraulic structures such as small dams and bridges. Doing this requires knowledge of estimates of annual streamflow and extreme flows to be used for design purposes. READ MORE

3. 22. Educational VR : An exploration of educational VR for professional users

   University essay from Umeå universitet/Designhögskolan vid Umeå universitet

   Author : Nikolaj Dam Roadley-Battin; [2018]
   Keywords : Virtual Reality; VR; Educational; Interaction Design; IxD; User Research; ABB;

   Abstract : This thesis explores Virtual Reality (VR) as a digital medium for teaching in a professional context. In collaboration with ABB, a pioneering technology leader, the thesis questions whether VR could be the future medium for training ABB service personnel. READ MORE

4. 23. Hydrodynamic Characteristics of the Baihetan Plunge Pool : The Secondary Dam’s Top Elevation Impact on Flow Patterns

   University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för teknikvetenskap och matematik

   Author : Henrik Smeds; Axel Monthan; [2018]
   Keywords : Baihetan; Plunge Pool; Impinged jets; Flow pattern;

   Abstract : The hydrodynamic characteristics of the Baihetan Plunge pool and the impact of changing the secondarydam’s top elevation was investigated. Quantities such as the velocity distribution, turbulencedissipation rate, water surface profile and the probability of a submerged jump forming in the plungepool was studied. READ MORE

5. 24. Designing Roller compacted concrete (RCC) dams

   University essay from KTH/Betongbyggnad

   Author : Shayma Al Baghdady; Linnea Khan; [2018]
   Keywords : Roller Compacted concrete; Massive concrete structures; Dams; Concrete;

   Abstract : Concrete is the most common building material in the world and it consists of aggregates,cement and water that harden over time, it is also known as a composite material. The use ofconcrete is very versatile due to its resistance to wind and water and its ability to withstandhigh temperature. READ MORE

6. 25. Internal Erosion and Dam Stability : Analysis of the internal erosion effects on stability of an embankment dam

   University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Geoteknologi

   Author : Arthur Jedenius; [2018]
   Keywords : Internal erosion stability finite element analysis method plaxis slope seep;

   Abstract : 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
