Implementation of a Hydrodynamic Model for the Upper Potomac Estuary
A vertically integrated, two-dimensional hydrodynamic/transport model has been implemented for the upper extent of the Potomac Estuary between Indian Head and Morgantown, Md. The model...
A Branched Hydrodynamic Model of the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta, California
A new and efficient hydrodynamic model is used to simulate flows in the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta, California. The model solves the one-dimensional shallow water equations for flow...
An Ongoing Investigation of Residual Suspended Material Transport in Central San Francisco Bay, CA
A study of suspended material transport in San Francisco Bay, California, is presently underway by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. This paper describes preliminary numerical model and...
Model Study of Potential Debris Problems at the Proposed Diversion of Clover Fork River, Harlan, Kentucky
A study was conducted at the Waterways Experiment Station in Vicksburg, Mississippi, using a physical and a numerical model, to evaluate the entrance conditions at a proposed tunnel diversion...
Hydrologic Implications of Global Warming on Water Resources in California
The possible effects of climate change on the water resources of the Sacramento-San Joaquin River Basin, as predicted by general circulation models (GCM's) were evaluated...
Climate Change Effects on Great Lakes Levels
The Great Lakes Environmental Research Laboratory has developed conceptual models for simulating moisture storages in and runoff from the 121 watersheds draining into the Laurentian Great...
Geostatistics: From Mining to Hydrology
Geostatistics originated in the mining industry to help estimate the amount of metal contained in a block or ore, from a systematic sampling of the block. In this paper, the major geostatistical...
Prediction Using Geostatistics and Mathematical Models
This paper discusses a new interpretation of geostatistical estimation and presents some thoughts on the meaning of probabilities in geostatistics and the role of mathematical models of...
GEOPACK: A Geostatistical Software System
A comprehensive, user-friendly geostatistical software system called GEOPACK has been developed. The purpose of this software is to make available the programs necessary to undertake a...
Technical Considerations in Numerical Modeling of Pressure Reducing Valves in Water Distribution Systems
In large water distribution networks, pressure reducing valves (PRVs) are common water appurtenances. However, there are difficulties in representing them when using the Hazen-Williams...
Redundancy and Reliability of Water Distribution Networks: An Entropy Based Approach
Based on the concepts of entropy and graph theory, a functional form is developed as a quantitative measure for redundancy in water distribution networks. This function was obtained by...
A Synthetic Simulation Model of Storm Surge History and Inland Drainage in Coastal Zone Areas
In this paper, a synthetic storm surge model is proposed. With the input information of peak surge height, storm duration, and shape coefficients, this model is capable of simulating most...
Low-Land Hydraulics and Hydrodynamics
A hydrodynamic model is presented for simulation of wetland hydrodynamics. The model incorporates all elements of the hydrologic cycle, such as precipitation, runoff, groundwater seepage...
Optimal Interpolation of Bathymetry in the Thyrrehnian Sea
The bathymetry of the Tyrrhenian Sea in the area facing the electro-nuclear plant being built at Montalto di Castro, Italy, is reconstructed with the aid of the constrained kriging making...
Extraction of Terrain Features from Digital Elevation Models
Digital elevation models (DEMs) are being used to determine variable inputs for hydrologic models in the Delaware River basin. Recently developed software for analysis of DEMs has been...
Geographic Information System/Watershed Model Interface
Geographic information systems allow for the interactive analysis of spatial data related to water-resources investigations. A conceptual design for an interface between a geographic information...
Jet Injection Model Studies for the City of Los Angeles
The Hypersion Treatment Plant for the City of Los Angeles is currently undergoing an expansion project. A major component of this system is a sludge recycling system. And it is essential...
Prediction of Siltation at a Point
This paper describes a zero-dimensional mathematical model which predicts siltation at a point on a cohesive sediment bed. The processes of erosion, deposition and consolidation are modelled...
A
A two-component turbulence model is introduced for depth-average flow calculations in shallow open-channel flows. This model treats the bed-generated turbulence as a background component,...
Far-Field Numerical Model Studies for Boston's New Secondary Treatment Plant Outfall Siting
By the late 1900s, Boston is scheduled to have built a new secondary treatment plant that combines the waste streams from two existing plant, and discharges the resulting liquid effluent...
