The Effect of Grain Size Distribution on the Entrainment of Interstitial Water into Overland Flow
Non-point source pollution from agricultural runoff is an important environmental problem. This experimental study considers the effect of media heterogeneity on the entrainment of interstitial...
Water Supply and Aeration Demands for Shrimp Farms
A computer model was developed simulating flow and aeration requirements for a range of farm sizes, from 50 to 2000 hectares. Climatic effects and water quality upset conditions were included...
Forces Acting on a Vortex-Excited Vibrating Cylinder in Planar Oscillatory Flow
An experimental investigation into the vortex-excited vibration of a circular cylinder in planar oscillatory flow has been made with emphasis being placed on the amplification of the forces...
Modeling of Surface Vortices in Unsteady Flow
Hydraulic model studies of lock filling and emptying systems include investigating vortex tendencies at the intake vincinity during filling. The flow at the intake vicinity is unsteady...
A Branched Mass Transport Model of the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta, California
A new branched mass (salt) transport model is used to simulate salt transport in the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta, California. The model uses a two-step procedure to determine the salt...
CORMIX2: Expert System for Multiport Diffuser Discharges
The Cornell Mixing Zone Expert System (CORMIX) is a series of software systems for the analysis, prediction, and design of aqueous toxic or conventional pollutant discharges into watercourses,...
Development of Suspended Sediment Concentration Profiles
This paper deals with the adjustment of suspended sediment concentration profiles in a fully developed, steady, uniform two-dimensional turbulent open channel flow without initial sediment...
A Hybrid Model for Sediment Concentration Profiles
The paper discusses the deficiency in the existing theories on suspended concentration profiles which is due to the variations of theories for modeling the velocity profiles. As can be...
Experimental and Numerical Study of Overland Flow Induced by Rainfall on the Loess Slope
Based on the repeated experiments of overlad flow on the Loess slope under the condition of constant and variable artificial rainfall intensity in laboratory, the mathematical model corresponding...
A Fractal Concept in Stream, Swale, and Sheet Flow
The concept of fractals, in simple terms, says that the patterns of natural features repeat themselves as the feature gets divided into successively smaller segments. In this paper, the...
Example of the Stable Channel Design Approach
This paper shows an example application of a new method being packaged by the US Army Engineer Waterways Experiment Station to aid in the design of stable flood-control channels. A stable...
Stable Channel Analytical Design Method
The Flood-Control Channels Research Program is being conducted at the US Army Engineer Waterways Experiment Station to develop systematic methods for design of stable channels for small...
Weibull Distribution and Natural Hydrograph
For design projects in water resources, a hydrograph is commonly used for the determination of flood volume generated by a given drainage basin. The division of total flow into direct...
Channel Network Analysis Using Simultaneous Solution Algorithm
In this paper, a simultaneous solution algorithm for one dimensional unsteady flow routing through channel networks is introduced. This direct solution algorithm is based on the double...
Characteristic Deformation of Alternate Bars Due to Low Flow
Experiments on the formation of a small meander-channel at low stage are conducted by supplying a proper discharge on initial bed of alternate bars that have been formed in experimental...
