Abstract

55 69 18 1 ; OJS ; [EN] Nowadays, an important number of hydraulic work projects as dams, channels, desalination plants, storm tanks, power plants, etc. have being carried out worldwide however Spain is frequently, the framework to look at. In this paper, the main ongoing applied researches on hydraulic enginery field of dam engineering will be presented regarding both physical and numerical modeling. The main purpose is to improve the knowledge of hydraulic phenomena and to develop new design tools for solving complex hydraulic problems. Baker, R., Gardiner, K.D. 1995. Building blocks.
