The Journal of Hydraulic Research (JHR) publishes research papers in theoretical, experimental and computational hydraulics and fluid mechanics, relating to rivers, lakes, estuaries, coasts, constructed waterways, and some internal flows such as pipe flows. To reflect current trends in water research, articles that explore outcomes of interdisciplinary hydro-environment studies with a strong fluid mechanical component are especially welcome. Although preference is given to fundamental issues, papers focusing on important unconventional or emerging applications of broad interest are also appreciated. 

Overview

The latest issue of the journal includes several studies dealing with a wide range of problems in hydraulic engineering. To meet their objectives, the authors of these studies employ theoretical, experimental and numerical modeling tools. The first of these contributions examines the ecohydraulic aspects that influence the swimming behavior of downstream migrating fish under accelerating streamflow conditions; the second one, introduces a model for simulating the unsteady dynamics of sewer systems that ensures the preservation of stationary conditions for free surface, pressurized and mixed flow scenarios; two other contributions investigate the energy losses in a circular stilling basin and in a tunnel with a large bend radius and horseshoe cross-section, respectively; the remaining study, which considers the impact of an ice sheet on a gravity wave force acting upon a neutrally buoyant and immersed spherical object, is based on a solution method that can be used for the design of various spherical gadgets, like a seabed pressure device for tsunami detection.
