A Note On Design Methodology For Sheet Pile In A River With Large Tidal Variation
Abstract: The stretch of river Ganges from Kolkata to Haldia port experiences high variation of tide and occasionally experiences remarkable phenomena of bore tides which take place under the right hydraulic and astronomical conditions. A tidal bore, consisting of the head-wave of an advancing tide, hemmed in where the estuary narrows suddenly into the river moves rapidly up the river at speeds reaching 10 m/s. Further, the rise of water depth …

Monsoon Flood Forecasting in Gandak River Using Discreet Wavelet Transform
Abstract: The Gandak River in North Bihar carries huge flood during the monsoon period. The daily variation in its flow during this period is so significant that conventional methods find it difficult to model the flow. In this paper, new models employing discreet wavelet transform (DWT) have been developed to forecast daily flows in a large river like Gandak. DWT decomposes the flow series into constituent wavelet components of ``approximations’’ and …
