Simulating Reservoir Management under the Threat of Sedimentation: The Case of Tarbela Dam on the River Indus

Tate, Emma; Farquharson, Frank - In: Water Resources Management 14 (2000) 3, pp. 191-208

The useful life of Tarbela reservoir, on the River Indus, is threatened by a sediment delta which is approaching the dam'sintake tunnels; these lead to a hydroelectric power station and are used for irrigation releases. This article describes thesimulated system, involving Tarbela Dam, with...

Statistical geometry of caging effects in random thin-rod structures

Philipse, Albert P.; Verberkmoes, Alain - In: Physica A: Statistical Mechanics and its Applications 235 (1997) 1, pp. 186-193

A derivation is given for the caging density of a static, random thin-rod structure at which uncorrelated contacts on a rod on average form a cage which arrests sidewise translations. Some implications of this result for colloidal sediments, random packings and rod glasses are discussed.
