Visualizing Groundwater Flow
This presentation demonstrates the application of some public domain scientific visualization software tools in the area of groundwater modeling. Specifically, we use these tools to interpret...

A Three-Dimensional Natural Resource Damage Assessment and Coupled Geographical Information System
A numerical model for natural resource damage assessments is discussed. The model addresses a wide range of spatial and temporal scales. The transport equations for both pollutant and...

An Integrated Model for Fate and Transport of Oil in Rivers
An integrated oil spill model for microcomputers is developed for simulating fate and transport of spilled oil in rivers. This model can simulate the oil slick transformation in transient...

Numerical Model Development for Oil Spill Dispersion into the Marine Environment
A 3-D oil spill model was developed to study the behaviour of heavy spilled oil in the sea. The model could describe the behaviour on the spilled oil on the sea surface, throughout the...

A New Approach to Local Scour Depth Estimation Under a Horizontal Jet or Free Water Fall
A new formula is presented to estimate the local scour depth development with time due to a horizontal jet or free water fall based on a new approach which combines the concept of energy...

TransAct: An Interactive Transient Analysis Program for Pipelines
The program TransAct is designed to analyze a wide range of transient responses that may have been caused by a complex combination of control actions. For example, there may be the simultaneous...

Spatially Varying Velocity Distribution in Non-uniform Open Channel Flow
The spatial variation of velocity distribution in non-uniform flows were studied, within the framework of a velocity distribution model derived by a probabilistic formulation and entropy-maximization....

Dam Removal Methods, Elwha River, Washington
Preparation of an Environmental Impact Statement (FERC, 1991) for licence applications for the Elwha and Glines Canyon hydroelectric projects on the Elwha River, Washington, included evaluation...

Sediment Modeling of Dam Removal Alternatives, Elwha River, Washington
The new version of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (ACOE) 1-Dimensional sediment transport model, HEC-6 'Scour and Deposition in Rivers and Reservoirs', was...

Sediment Problems Associated with Dam Removal, Muskegon River, Michigan
This paper presents an analysis of sediment movement in Michigan's Muskegon River following the removal of Newaygo Dam. The analysis utilized a physical process simulation...

Predicted Fluvial Response to Dam Removal in the Kalamazoo River Valley, Michigan
Research has been conducted by the Michigan Department of Natural Resources (MDNR) to predict the fluvial response to dam drawdown and determine the distribution of recent deposits along...

Measurement of Air Entrained Flow Properties
The paper discusses conventional methods used in the field to measure bubble size, air concentration, intermittency, and velocity of air entrained flows in chutes....

PC Versatility in Modern Hydraulic Laboratory Data Acquisition Systems
Recent and newly emerging developments in low cost (personal) computing have enabled engineers to implement sophisticated data collection and analysis techniques on computing platforms...

Data Acquisition Systems for IBM Compatible System
Portable data acquisition systems composed of IBM compatible PC/XT/AT computers and analog to digital conversion cards can be configured with relative ease. These systems have the flexibility...

Computerized Data Acquisition for an Undergraduate Hydraulics Laboratory
Basic hydraulics principles and the operation of certain hydraulic systems can be effectively demonstrated with the aid of relatively inexpensive data acquisition and analyses systems....

Chesapeake Bay Data Set for Three-Dimensional Hydrodynamic Model Verification
A comprehensive data set representing September 1983 conditions on the Chesapeake Bay has been assembled and is proposed as a possible data set for inclusion in the work of the ASCE Task...

3-D Hydrodynamic Model Verification Using ADCPS
A physically comprehensive, hydrodynamic model of the East River has been used for a continuous three year simulation. As part of the calibration process, detailed vertical profiles of...

Investigations on 3-D Flow Structures in Combined Systems of Groynes and Harbour Basins
The structure of the flow field in harbour basins shows significant three-dimensional (3-D) effects, e.g. variation of the direction of the horizontal velocity components with depth, existence...

Prescribed Solution Forcing Method for Model Verification
This paper describes a method for verifying the consistency and order of accuracy of a numerical implementation of a pde-model. We present an example of its application to a 3D hydrodynamic...

Proposed Methodology to Update Embayment Sedimentation Data for TVA Reservoirs
The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the accuracy and usefulness of bathymetric data resulting from routine fisheries and aquatic biology hydroacoustic surveys in TVA reservoirs for...
