Book Description
Channel confluence is an important component in river systems. The flow dynamics and mixing processes associated with such geometry are highly three-dimensional and complicated. In this study, a commercial software, ANSYS CFX, was employed to investigate the flow structures and mixing characteristics at channel confluences using steady-state three-dimensional numerical method. The results indicated that the flow converging could not produce rapid mixing within the confluence or immediately downstream because of locally confined secondary current. However, with the secondary current growing downstream, the mixing rate was accelerated. Transverse mixing coefficients were determined for channel junctions with different confluent angles and discharge ratios using the generalized method of moments. This research provided the insight view on the curvature-induced secondary circulation at channel confluence and proposed the corresponding mixing rate.

Book Description
Following years of research, the first bored tunnel in soft soil in the Netherlands, the Tweede Heinenoord tunnel, was completed in 1998. Since then, Dutch engineers have increased their knowledge of soft soil tunnelling, with a significant and important part of this research being carried out by GeoDelft, the Dutch National Institute of Geo-Engineering. This book contains the most important publications by GeoDelft on the subject of soft soil tunnelling, focusing on the period from 1992 to the present, it is divided into four main headings: field measurements; grout behaviour; model testing; and numerical analysis. This impressive overview of the progress made in the Netherlands in soft soil tunnelling research over more than a decade is a valuable resource to those working in soft soil tunnelling worldwide.
