Sediment Basin Design Using 2-D Techniques
A set of procedures for the design of sediment basins is outlined; it is based on two-dimensional hydrodynamic analyses, in contrast to conversional practice which has used only one-dimensional...
Hydrodynamic Modeling of Shallow Lagoons and Lakes
There exist many shallow lagoons and lakes in Florida. With an average depth of 3 meters or less, circulation and transport within these water bodies are significantly influenced by the...
Hydrodynamic Response of an Estuary to Storm Forcing
Previous work on the response/sensitivity of an estuarine hydrodynamic model to the choice of model parameters is extended to include a preliminary consideration of wind-generated waves....
Bay/Delta Hydraulic Model?Thirty Years of Service
The San Francisco Bay and Delta is an extremely complex estuarine system. During the past thirty years, the San Francisco Bay/Delta Hydraulic Model has proven to be a valuable scientific...
Three-Dimensional Modeling of a Stratified Estuary
Development around Choctawhatchee Bay, and reduced productivity, loss of seagrass beds, and higher salinities, prompted the Northwest Florida Water Management District to conduct an investigation...
Hydrodynamic Dispersion: Estimation and Prediction
The dispersion of dissolved, nonreactive tracers in groundwater is governed by diffusion and advection. A.E. Scheidegger introduced the term dispersivity to describe the effect that a...
Natural Vibrations of Cables in a Flowing Fluid
Cable segments are important components in a wide variety of marine operations. Their nonlinearities are primarily geometric as characterized by large displacements and load-dependent...
A Review of Factors Affecting Recovery of Freshwater Stored in Saline Aquifers
A simulation analysis reported previously, and summarized herein, identified the effects of various geohydrologic and operational factors on recoverability of the injected water. Buoyancy...
Beach Restoration Criteria Based on Algae Hydrodynamics
The presence of algae might aggravate the already existing difficulties in beach restoration. The aim of this paper is to present additional beach restoration criteria based on algae hydrodynamics...
Significance of Mean Water Level Response in Bays
The occurrence of a net hydraulic head, or superelevation, is a basic feature of bays. It is generated by inlet-bay response to natural forcing. The effects of bottom friction and Stokes...
The Development of Test Cases for Hydrodynamic and Transport Models
This paper reviews the test cases employed by several investigators in the development of two- and three-dimensional finite difference and finite element hydrodynamic and transport models....
Mechanics of Embankment Erosion During Overflow
Thousands of dams built in the United States have a potential to be overtopped by flood flows. It is necessary to understand the mechanics of embankment erosion in order to evaluate the...
Settling Tank Model for Deposition in a Tidal Lagoon
A model is developed to assess deposition of suspended sediment in Great Sound, New Jersey. The model employs the classic settling tank concept which utilizes plug flow hydrodynamics,...
Coastal Hydrodynamics
This book includes papers presented at the ASCE Specialty Conference on Coastal Hydrodynamics Conference, at the University of Delaware, June 28-July 1, 1987. The papers review the state...
Operational Experiences With a Wells Turbine on a Wave Powered Navigation Study
The objective of the research programme was to design a 100W Wells turbine generator unit which could be matched to standard tail tube buoys. Optimization of the power conversion chain...
Wave Forces on an Arctic Monotower Platform
At offshore lease sites located along the western coast of Alaska, longer periods of open water can be expected. As a result, wave induced hydrodynamic loading will become a more significant...
Vibrations of Submerged Solids in a Vibrating Container
Dynamic forces on a vibrating submerged solid cylinder in both closed and open-top rectangular containers are evaluated. The submerged cylinder is attached to the base of a dynamically-excited...
Interaction Effects in Vertically Excited Steel Tanks
Following a brief review of the hydrodynamic effects induced by a vertical component of ground shaking in liquid-filled, circular, cylindrical, steel tanks that are rigidly supported at...
Port Design and Ship Characteristics
The close relationship between ship characteristics and terminal design is recognized and should be considered as integral part of the total transporation. Ship characteristics to be considered...
Physics-Based Modeling of Lakes, Reservoirs, and Impoundments
This book provides an overview of considerations that apply to modeling flow and transport in lakes, reservoirs, and impoundments using equations based on conservation principles. Specific...
