Convolution-Integral Modeling of Non-Equilibrium Sediment Transport
In transient process of sediment transport due to unsteady or/and nonuniform flow or discontinuity of boundary condition, non-equilibrium process appears and it sometimes plays an important...
On the Coexistence of Bedload and Suspended Transport for a Uniform Grainsize Material
A sensitivity analysis and an experimental verification have been made to assess the validity of the equations that describe the sediment transport in non-equilibrium conditions, when...
Sediment Transport Rate for Non-uniform Sand
Based on the equations of bedload transport by authors, the functional relation of total sediment transport capacity of flow has been found. The modifying coefficient due to non-uniformity...
Laboratory Analysis of Hyperconcentrations
The physical and kinematic behavior of hyperconcentrations has been reviewed and a summary of recent and past developments in hyperconcentrated flow research is presented. This paper focuses...
Total Sediment Load Calculations for Goodwin Creek
Total sediment transport load of Goodwin Creek was calculated for the period from 10/1/84 to 9/30/88 using transport relations derived from sample data for the fines (< 0.06 mm),...
Estimation of Unsampled Sediment Discharge
A procedure is developed to estimate the total bed material load without using the size distribution of suspended load. Because of the uncertainties involved in the calculation of the...
A Watershed Model of Sediment Transport?Load-I
A watershed sediment transport model has been formulated and optimized upon storm hydrographs and the associated sediment load data for several watersheds that have been urbanized and...
Movement of Sediment Mixtures in a Parabolic Flume with Simulated Rainfall
A 4-m long flume with parabolic cross section and adjustable slope was constructed to investigate the sediment carrying capacity and the variation of grain size distribution during deposition....
Power Without Acid
Anticipating tighter acid rain controls, DOE is developing duct injection units that can be attached to existing powerplants. In a typical duct injection system, lime is sprayed into existing...
A Stochastic Approach to Sediment Transport in Alluvial Rivers
A dimensionless sediment transport function relation for alluvial rivers has been developed using stochastic approach. The dimensionless function may be applied to estimate suspended load,...
Comparison of Tenn-V and TR-55 on TVA Watersheds
The storm hydrograph simulation models TENN-V and TR-55 were compared as to their respective abilities to reproduce 468 storms observed on 54 watersheds. TR-55 did not represent the Tennessee...
Effects of Climate Change on Watershed Runoff
This paper examines forecasts of changes in watershed runoff in the Delaware River basin that result from a range of predicted effects of increased atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2)...
Estimation of the Probability of a Precipitation Event Occurring Over a Specified Watershed
A methodology is proposed for making rational flood control decisions when the physical characteristics of the upstream watershed are known and the characteristics of the extreme precipitation...
Seven Oaks Dam Outlet Works Design
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has completed the preliminary design of the outlet works for the proposed Seven Oaks Dam. The dam is the upstream-most feature of the Corps'...
Real-Time Water Control Plan for a Flood Control Reservoir
A reservoir operation plan is prepared for a single-purpose flood control reservoir. Real-time precipitation data recorded at the dam is utilized to control the reservoir gate operations....
Fixed-Wheel Gates Uses and Limitations
The fixed-wheel type of gate, which derives its name from sets of wheels mounted on axles fixed to the gate, rolls upon and transmits the hydraulic load of the gate to guide tracks bearing...
Determining Hydro Project Dependable Capacity
Traditional techniques for estimating a hydro project's dependable capacity are of limited value when evaluating a hydro project in a thermal-based power system. For such...
Quantifying Uncertainty in Hydropower Planning
Power system operators must deal with various types of uncertainties. Some are related to inputs, such as system load and water supply, while others pertain to the system itself, such...
Efficiency and Vibration Testing
To gather the necessary data to assure the most efficient and reliable operation of the system, Idaho Power Company implemented a plant testing program in 1988. The testing program consists...
Thermally Developed Blade Stresses and Cavitation Damage
Cavitation damage to the turbine runner blades, to the draft tube liner, and to the runner hub requires extensive welding repair. The traditional repair method is to gouge out the damaged...
