Slug Test: Double-Porosity, Linear Boundary, and Variable Storage Effects
The intention of this paper is to focus on three aspects of the slug test that are not as familiar as the main analysis techniques: the effects of double-porosity formations, the effects...

Agricultural Chemicals in Illinois' Rural Private Wells
A statewide sampling program was undertaken to define the extent of agricultural chemicals in rural, private drinking water wells in Illinois. A stratified random approach was taken for...

On the Application of Multiphase Flow Models for the Simulation of Density Stratified Flow in Aquifers
Two types of numerical simulation approach are usually applied when simulating density-stratified flow in aquifers: (a) the sharp interface approach, and (b) the coupling of flow transport...

Bed Forms of Nile River
In this paper, the observed bed forms for six different reaches of the Nile River in Egypt are described. The purpose of the study is to inquire whether or not the different available...

Modeling and Field Experiments for Tracer Gas Tests
Numerical modeling and field experiments were used to extend the tracer gas technique for determining surface gas transfer rates to shallow bays. Two-dimensional modeling was used to investigate...

Field Verification of Diffuser Performance
Effluent diffusers are used to gain relief from end-of-pipe acute toxicity criteria in NPDES water quality-based discharge permitting. Regulatory agencies require that the dilution provided...

Finite Element Modeling of Flow in Wetlands
Requirements for developing a mathematical model of unsteady flow in wetlands are suggested. An equivalent continuum approximation is appropriate to avoid problems of describing the turbulence...

TABS-2 Application to Kawainui Marsh Flood Control
The TABS-2 mathematical modeling system was used to evaluate the effectiveness of alternatives designed to eliminate flooding problems in the Kawainui Marsh located in Kailua on the east...

Numerical Modeling of Air/Water Mixtures for Internal Flows
The Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) currently is working with several organizations to develop design tools for the aerating hydroturbine. Part of this effort includes the investigation...

One Dimensional Finite Element Model for Spillway Flow
This paper summarizes the development and preliminary testing of a one dimensional numerical model termed 'CURVE1D.' The model is nonhydrostatic, including bed...

Verification of a Numerical Model for Suspended Sediment Transport in San Francisco Bay
Two-dimensional vertically averaged hydrodynamic and sediment transport models were verified to field measurements from a 25-hour intensive survey in central San Francisco Bay. Excellent...

River Dike Design Using a Numerical Model Approach
The preliminary design of a dike field at Redeye Crossing on the Mississippi River (Baton Rouge, Louisiana) is discussed. The TABS-2 modeling system was used to develop a two dimensional...

Kings Bay Channel Expansion Hybrid Model Assessment
A hybrid modeling system (coupled physical and numerical models) was developed to assess velocity and sediment impacts associated with channel expansion. Physical model tides and velocities...

Issues and Challenges Facing the Effective Delivery of Scientific Visualization
The availability of economical hardware and software products for scientific visualization has stimulated implementation of scientific visualization within high performance computing environments....

A Modular Visual Interface for Computational Fluids Forecasting
A forecasting system is under development for predicting the three-dimensional physical features (e.g. velocity, temperature etc.) of large water bodies. Visualization and interface development...

Visualization of Grids and Flow Fields for CFD Data
This paper will address visualization of grids and flow fields for computational field simulation. Specifically, we will present results and demonstrations of surface and grid generation...

Verification of a Three-Dimensional Numerical Hydrodynamic Model of the C&D Canal and Adjacent Estuaries
A 3D hydrodynamic model of the C&D Canal and adjacent estuaries was developed by using the WES-CH3D code. CH3D uses a simplified second order vertical turbulence model based on...

A Microcomputer-Based System for Two-Dimensional Flow Modeling
An integrated, microcomputer-based system has been developed for simulation of two-dimensional, unsteady, free surface flows. The system consists of a finite-element mesh generation code,...

Set-Down in a Tidal Embayment
A mean water level in tidal bays and estuaries that is higher than the ocean mean water level (set-up) is a fairly common occurrence. Set-down of the mean water level can be shown to be...

Tracking Cold Water in a Large Reservoir System
The Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) Environmental River Resource Aid (TERRA) is a computer workstation graphics display that tracks environmental variables in the power service area....
