The Task Committee on Density Currents and Their Applications in Hydraulic Engineering operates under the Technical Committee on Hydrologic Transport and Dispersion. The Task Committee...
A Comparison of Tidal Sediment Boundary Layer Profiles with Theory
A number of theoretical derivations have been presented for predictions of the sediment concentration profile near or at the bottom of a column of surface water. Ultrasonic transceivers...
Estimation of Mean Water Depth for Border Irrigation
The mean water depth for border irrigation is derived, using dam-break simple wave solution and boundary layer theory, as a function of inflow discharge, bottom slope, bottom roughness,...
Time-Domain Dam-Reservoir-Interaction Analysis Based on Boundary Elements
For a reservoir with an arbitrary shape of the upstream face and of the bottom including an adjacent regular part of constant depth extending to infinity, the hydrodynamic-stiffness matrix...
