Estimating Average Velocity in Cobble-Bed Channels
A data set obtained from natural channels having D//5//0 less than 64 mm and d/D//5//0 in the range of 3 to 20 is used as a basis for testing equations proposed by Limerinos, Thompson...
Satellites Monitor Eutrophication of Estuaries
In a study on eutrophication of estuaries, NOAA/AVHRR satellite data have been analyzed for the Changjiang River plume and the adjacent coastal areas. The different regimes identified...
A Mathematical Model for River Ice
Several computer models for simulating river ice conditions have been developed (Petryk, 1986). All of these models simulate frazil ice production, and the progression, erosion and melting...
Rehabilitation of Williams Bridge Dam
Pennsylvania Gas and Water Company initiated construction work to upgrade the 90-year old dam in order to meet current dam safety standards with emphasis on satisfying Probable Maximum...
Imbrication of Tabular Boulders
Analysis of moments on tabular boulders projecting into a uniform stream indicates that a tabular boulder dipping downstream is unstable and can be overturned by velocities expected during...
Simulation of Sediment Transport in Coastal Water
The sediment-contaminant transport code, FETRA, coupled with the hydrodynamic model, CAFE-I; and the wave refraction model, L03D; were applied to Pacific coastal water. The FETRA model...
Coupled Implicit Simulation of Mobile-Bed Rivers
Numerical and physical deficiencies in existing computational codes for simulation of bed evolution in mobile-bed rivers have led the authors to propose a new approach. The new method...
Carichar?Mobile Bed Modeling with Graded Sediments
CARICHAR is a new system used for the computation of sediment transport. The coupled calculation of both water and graded sediments transport allows the simulation of sorting and armoring...
Modeling Sediment Yield Affected by In-Stream Sand Mining
Sediment yield refers to the amount of sediment having passed a given river section for a specified duration. While sediment will be stored in the borrow pit, it will also be depleted...
Longitudinal Dispersion in Partially-Mixed Estuaries
The longitudinal dispersion in partially-mixed estuaries was formulated to consist of two terms. The first term accounts for the dispersion due to the vertical and transverse shear of...
Estimation of Navigation-Dam Discharge in Illinois
Techniques were used to estimate discharge for the Brandon Road Dam on the Des Plaines River and the Dresden Island, Marseilles, and Starved Rock Dams on the Illinois River in northern...
Physical Modeling to Study the Extent of Removal of an Existing Lock and Dam on the Mississippi River
Locks and Dam No. 26 is located on the Mississippi River approximately 202. 9 river miles above the mouth of the Ohio River. This paper will discuss the utilization of a physical model...
River Wave Response to the Friction-Inertia Balance
The changing character of the solution of the Saint-Venant equations for river flow problems with the dimensionless parameter F//I reflects a changing balance between friction and inertia....
Magnitude and Frequency Analysis in Large Rivers
A study of the magnitude and frequency of sediment transport was conducted on the Mississippi River at Natchez, MS, Red River at Alexandria, LA, and Pearl River at Bogalusa, LA. The individual...
Effects of Land Subsidence on Flood Profiles
In this study, the effects of land subsidence on water-surface elevation and depth profiles during flood conditions were investigated for a large, hypothetical, slope-controlled stream....
Comparison of Some River Discharge Calculation Methods
To measure the discharge of a river, it is necessary to develop a stage-discharge curve based on water velocity at various cross sections of the river. This is the method which is used...
Evaluting the General Well Function
The closest thing to a mathematical function that maps well discharge to drawdown has been Jacob's equation, caled the step-drawdown equation. However, this equation assumes the drawdown...
Dimensional Analyses of Yellow River Sediment Data
A contemporaneous set of bed load and suspended load sediment transport data were analysed for three hydrologic stations on the Yellow River. There were a total of 82 bed load events,...
An Analysis of Channel Stability of the Red River from Shreveport, Louisiana to Index, Arkansas
To analyze the stability of the Red River in the study reach (Shreveport, LA to Index, AR) two comprehensive hydrographic surveys were studied. The hydrographic surveys were compared to...
On the Selection of Sediment Transport Equations
Existing sediment transport relationships have been calibrated under a certain range of experimental conditions which can be described by the dimensionless grain size, the mobility number,...
