Three-Dimensional Modelling of Recirculation Behind a Groyne
Extensive investigation on the three-dimensional flow patterns behind a groyne have been carried out in a small-scale experiment. A three-dimensional hydrodynamic numerical model is verified...

Model Tests for Design of Vibration-Free Gates
Experimental results are presented of hydraulic forces acting on an underflow gate. Underflow gate is a socalled bluff body and a review of the mechanism of vibration caused by separation...

Spillway Gates for the El Naranjero Dam in Spain
In June 1986 Zwag Zschokke Wartmann Ltd received the order from Hidroelectrica Espanola S.A. in Madrid, Spain for the design and model testing of 5 radial gates on the 'El...

Instability of Water-Fluid Mud Interface
Erosion and entrainment of fluid mud are treated by means of shear flow analysis. The water-fluid mud system is considered as a layered system of two continua separated by a distinct interface...

Horizontal Density-Gradient Effects on Simulation of Flow and Transport in the Potomac Estuary
A two-dimensional, depth-integrated, hydrodynamic/transport model of the Potomac Estuary between Indian Head and Morgantown, Md., has been extended to include treatment of baroclinic forcing...

Slurry Removal From a 2-D Fluidized Region
A two-dimensional fluidization experiment is performed on fine sand with a 5.08 cm diameter source pipe with horizontally opposed orifices, 0.317 cm in diameter, spaced 5.08 cm. Slurry...

A Study on Estimation of Aquifer Parameters in Unsteady Seepage Flow
A method which automatically identifies aquifer parameters is proposed in this paper. The aim of this investigations is to estimate transmissivities and storage coefficients of unsteady...

3-D Cavity Flow Analysis by a New Fractional Step Method Based on the Finite Element Method
This paper describes a new finite element scheme for solving the time-dependent incompressible viscous fluid flow expressed in terms of the Navier-Stokes equations. The main feature of...

Three-Dimensional Model of a Stratified Estuary?St. Andrew Bay System, Florida
A three-dimensional modal is applied to a northwest Florida estuary to provide the initial insights into the circulation and flushing patterns of the system. The model, developed by the...

Long-Term Numerical Simulation of Three-Dimensional Hydrodynamics of Chesapeake Bay
A time-varying 3D numerical model of Chesapeake Bay has been developed to provide flow fields to a 3D water quality model of the bay. The water surface, 3D velocity field, salinity, and...

An Acoustic Doppler Discharge-Measurement System
A discharge-measurement system that uses a vessel-mounted acoustic Doppler current profiler has been developed and tested by the U.S. Geological Survey. Discharge measurements using the...

Effects of Turbulence on Price AA Meter Rotors
Field and laboratory studies were conducted during 1988 and 1989 by the U.S. Geological survey to determine the effect of turbulence on the performance of price AA meter rotors. Two different...

Limitation to Standard Parshall Flume Calibrations
Parshall flumes are widely used for metering open channel flows. An inspection of the original study which developed the rating equations indicates that the flumes were not tested for...

The Stacked Drift Tunnel
The Mount Baker Ridge Tunnel is the first of its kind and the last: a forward thrust of technology and a look back to the flow of federal highway funds, which paid 90% of its cost. The...

Selection of Hole Size for Fluidization Pipes
Two-dimensional fluidization experiments are performed on fine and medium coarse quartz sands at depths of 25.4 and 42 cm. Four supply pipes are used with orifice diameters of 1.587 mm...

A Semi-Empirical Model for an OC-OTEC Spout Flash Evaporator
A phenomenological model for the thermal-hydraulics of a spout flash evaporator is presented in this paper. The model considers the two-phase flow behavior both in the spout and in the...

Resin Transfer Process Modelling: Computational & Experimental
In most cases, the resin transfer molding (RTM) researcher has a fundamental understanding of composites and possibly some mold design experience. The areas of resin flow dynamics and...

Significance of Yield Surface Corner-Like Effects in Inelastic Stability Solutions
This paper presents the author's experiences with finite element prediction of the inelastic stability of steel plate structures. The implications of linear versus nonlinear...

Hydraulics/Hydrology of Arid Lands (H?AL)
This proceedings consists of papers presented at the International Symposium on the Hydraulics and Hydrology of Arid Lands which was held in conjunction with the 1990 National Conference...

Stratified Flows
This volume contains the edited and refereed proceedings of the Third International Symposium on Stratified Flows, convened on February 3-5, 1987 in Pasadena, California. It consists of...
