Sensitivity Analysis of Bridge Equations
Computation of riverbed scour at the 482,000-plus bridges over water in the United States of America requires a significant level of hydraulic engineering effort. To do cost-effective,...

Brief Summary of National Bridge Scour Data Base
This paper briefly summarizes more than 470 measurements of local channel scour at bridge piers from 58 sites in 14 States. Relations between local scour and selected deterministic parameters...

Kent, Edward
In order to perform conservative scour analyses for coastal bridge sites it is necessary to develop realistic hydraulic simulations which provide worst case estimates of depth and velocity....

Is Bedform Development Chaotic?
A qualitative analysis of a model for the partially specified bedform development system is presented. The study rests on the use of technique of loop analysis and the connection of the...

Stability Analysis of Rayleigh-Benard Convection in the Presence of Side Walls
The onset of laminar axisymmetric Rayleigh-Benard convection is investigated for a low-Prandtl number liquid metal in a cylindrical container, in the presence of a vertical temperature...

Density-dependent Circulation in Desert-basin Aquifers with Isotropic Self-Similar Permeability Distributions
Closed-basin aquifers, typical of mountain chains in the western United States, present a central ephemeral lake (called `playa') where evaporation increases the local brine density creating...

Expert Analysis in Regulated Irrigation Canal Modelling
Application of riverine unsteady-flow numerical modelling techniques to problems of flow regulation in irrigation canals invokes the need for careful treatment of some situations not commonly...

Reservoir Operation by the Use of an Expert System
Most reservoirs, designed for the purpose of flood control, face operational problems during periods of drought. This study uses five indicators, streamflow, precipitation, temperature,...

Interactive Models for the Regulation of Lake Ontario
Extensive studies are underway to improve the regulation of Lake Ontario. These studies not only involve the inclusion of factors and interest groups not previously considered, but also...

A Two-Dimensional Contaminant Transport Model with High-Resolution Upwind Schemes
High-resolution upwind schemes have become popular techniques to solve multidimensional transport problems. Based on the finite volume method (FVM), two-dimensional horizontal hydrodynamic...

Hydrodynamic Modeling of San Diego Bay
A two-dimensional vertically-averaged finite element model was adapted to study the hydrodynamics of San Diego Bay. The hydrodynamic model was interfaced with pre- and post-processors...

An Integrated Shell (ROSS3) for Transport Modeling, Visualization, and Data Management
A model shell (ROSS3) which does visualization, data management, and modeling transport of oil and chemical spills in inland waters all within a single integrated unit is presented. Numerous...

Near Field Behavior of a Far Field Circulation Model
Output from the 3-D far field circulation model ECOMsi was compared with output from EPA initial mixing models in two simulations of coastal sewage outfalls - an idealization with steady...

Reconstruction of Concentration Boundary Condition for Unsteady Pesticide Transport Modeling
A one-dimensional unsteady contaminant transport model which used an unsteady hydraulic field was used to model pesticides (metolachlor, metribuzin) in the Iowa River/Coralville Reservoir....

Contaminant Fate and Transport Model in Pool-and-Riffle Streams
The complex nature of solute transport and transformation processes in natural streams has been investigated using numerical solution of a proposed mathematical model. This model is based...

A model to describe the fate of agricultural pollutants
The distributed parameter hydrological model CEQUEAU is coupled to nitrogen and pesticide sub-models to study agricultural non-point pollution at the watershed level. This developing tool...

Multi-Reservoir Systems Optimization by the Aggregation/Decomposition Methodology
Studies on long term optimization of multi-reservoir systems are enhanced by the availability of closed-loop policies as available in Stochastic Dynamic Programming (SDP). SDP offers a...

Daily Procedure for GLFS Nowcasts
The Great Lakes Forecasting System (GLFS) is an integrated system involving three levels of computational power for making predictions. GLFS consists of three-dimensional numerical circulation...

Spectral and Parametric Wave Models of Lake Erie
The GLERL-Donelan parametric wave model and the SHALWV spectral wave model are presently being used as modules of the Great Lakes Forecasting System in order to determine which best fits...

GIS Application for Floodplain Analysis and Mapping
Michael Baker Jr., Inc. (Baker) is using Geographic Information Systems (GIS) technology and fundamental three-dimensional modeling techniques to automate the floodplain analysis and mapping...
