New Developments in HEC Programs for Flood Control
Since the Hydrologic Engineering Center (HEC) started in 1964, the evolution has been toward packaged programs that perform a variety of computation options. Two examples are the flood...
MILHY?A Microcomputer Based Hydrologic and Hydraulic Model
MILHY is an interactive, single event, lumped parameter model used to estimate streamflows and water surface profiles. The model was designed for use on basins less than approximately...
Hydraulic Profile Computation Using CADD
The data preparation can also be performed by directly recording onto a computer tape the aerial survey cross section ground points and the field survey work. A computer program can then...
Equilibrium Beach Profiles: Prediction of Coastal Erosion Due to Severe Storms
This paper describes a method that calculates coastal erosion due to severe storms. The equilibrium beach profile concept used in this study was developed by Swart. The agreement between...
Vanishing Beaches: Erosion Control & Public Policy
Currents, often remotely situated, divert the littoral supply which normally ensures a positive balance among factors preserving natural beach configurations. Artificial structures such...
Open Channel Flowrate Measurement Using Multipath Acoustic Flowmeters
Recent acoustic flowmeter developments have improved the applicability and accuracy of the multipath acoustic measurement technique. Accuracy, hardware cost and calibration cost can be...
Water Surface Profiles in Compound Channels
The paper explores the use of the proposed compound channel Froude number in problems of water surface profile computation. It can be used not only to determine critical depth and to identify...
Hydraulics of Broad Crested Weirs
The paper presents a general, basic discussion of the title subject. It begins with a definition for the broad crested weir and analytical concepts. Subjects covered subsequently include...
Data Acquisition and Control for Hydraulic Models
The Waterways Experiment Station is expanding the use of computer controlled data acquisition and control equipment on a variety of hydraulic models. These systems are presently being...
Overtopping of Flood Control Levees and Floodwalls
The risk of overtopping can be significant for flood control levees or floodwalls, and the consequences can be costly and potentially catastrophic. Designs using superiority can force...
Riprap Sizing-Four Methods
A comparison summary is provided for sizing of riprap by four methods: Isbash, Froude, Tractive Force - Logarithmic Velocity Profile (TFL), and Tractive Force - Power Velocity Profile...
