A Study of Human Body Movement in Inland Waterways
… data relating to deceased human bodies found in inland water. The study aims to identify factors that might affect body movement and their subsequent location. It seeks to establish if these variables could determine search parameters more effectively and increase the chances of successful search …

Cost modelling for inland waterway transport systems.
Inland waterways have proven to be a significant mode of infrastructure for the carriage of freight. Examples of this can be seen in many developed regions such as Continental Europe, the United States of America and to a lesser extent, the United Kingdom. The benefit resulting from the existence …

Impact of water wheel hydrokinetic unit spacing on hydraulic conditions in a rectangular canal under mild slope subcritical flow with physical modeling
Hydrokinetics in inland waterways has seen increased interest in recent decades as a source of renewable energy. Unlike traditional hydropower, which uses potential energy from the static head of a reservoir, hydrokinetics uses the kinetic energy from flowing water (e.g., wave tides, streams, …
