Verification of Local Modes in a Two-Dimensional Tidal Model
Based on a generalized model equation, a two-dimensional hybrid finite element model has been developed to study tidal waves of incompressible, homogeneous fluid in rotational flows. In...
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...
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...
Design of Expansions for Sub-Critical Open Channel Flow
Expansions for open channel flow at sub-critical velocity are required whenever it is necessary to reduce the velocity of flow from a structure which discharges into an erodible channel....
Cocohatchee River Basin Study
The report presents the modeling of the Cocohatchee River basin, including 2-D routings for wetland regimes, hydrologic/hydraulic analyses of the agricultural and suburban land uses, and...
Borden Field Data and Multivariate Geostatistics
A large-scale field experiment on natural gradient transport of solutes in groundwater was conducted in an unconfined sand aquifer in Borden, Ontario by extensive monitoring after the...
Conditional Simulation of the Wilmington Sand-Shale Sequence, Los Angeles Basin
In shaly clastic reservoirs at a scale where vertical cross flow cannot be ignored the main source of heterogeneity is the apparent random geometry of the sand-shale sequence. That geometry...
Scale Effects at Intakes Due to Boundary Layer Growth
Boundary layer development in hydraulic models of intakes based on Froude criteria can be poorly scaled because it is viscosity dependent. The potential for scale effects can be estimated...
Self-Aerating Spillway Flow
The concept upon which most past analyses are based is that a continuum exists in aerated flow from 100 percent water, to air bubbles in water, to a water-air mixture, to an air-water...
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...
Southwest Pass Training Structure Alternatives
The U.S. Army Engineer Waterways Experiment Station system of computer programs, TABS-2, was utilized to evaluate various structural plans for increasing channel velocities and sediment...
A Numerical Analysis Approach to the Solution of Unsteady Flow in Open Channels
Several inherent characteristics of all current numerical simulations of the unsteady flow equations prevent total confidence in their use. Inconsistencies within the numerical procedures...
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,...
High-Resolution Two Dimensional Advective Transport
The paper describes a two-dimensional high-resolution scheme for advective transport that is based on a Eulerian-Lagrangian method with a flux limiter. The scheme is applied to the problem...
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...
UNET: A Model of Unsteady Flow Through a Full Network of Open Channels
UNET is a PC-based dynamic wave, unsteady flow model for the solution of the full network problem. The program applies a linearized implicit finite difference scheme to solve the full...
Channel Changes in the Platte River, 1926?1986
The Platte has changed significantly during the last century. A meandering channel with extensive riparian vegetation growth has replaced, the once braided and unvegetated channel in some...
Idealized Debris Flow in Flume with Bed Driven by a Conveyor Belt
The generalized viscoplastic fluid (GVF) model is used to derive the theoretical expressions of two-dimensional velocities and surface profile for debris flow established in a flume with...
Important Aspects of Annual Energy Calculation Techniques for Low Head Hydro Power Plants
Annual energy calculations are frequently used to optimize design parameters at a turbine site and to compare energy production based on equipment offers from various suppliers. In this...
