This dissertation is mainly focused on assimilation of data into hydrodynamic models of water flow in open channel networks which is motivated by the need for accurate flow models in various applications such as emergency response and flood monitoring systems, automated gate sys…

An experimental investigation of the characteristics of shallow turbulent wakes behind bed-mounted cylinders in an open channel was carried out. Cylindrical objects of equal diameter and four heights were tested under similar flow conditions on smooth and rough beds producing fo…
