Identification of A Field Data Collection Program in Delaware Bay
Verification and the subsequent application of a numerical model requires sufficient field data to demonstrate that the model is reproducing the existing hydrodynamics of the modeled system....

3D model verification for a groyne and harbor experiment
A discussion of 3D model verification and calibration based on measurements in a flume is carried out for different test cases (groyne, harbor). The measurement data is available for public...

3D Free Surface Flow Model Verification - A Panel Discussion on Test Cases
This paper is to briefly present the objectives and approaches of the Panel Discussion on test cases to be developed for 3d free surface flow model verifications, so that professionals...

Estimation of Design Surge Heights by Utilizing Meteorologic and Oceanographic Data
Data on cyclonic storm surge height have been generated with the help of a statistical simulation model. Data on observed maximum cyclonic wind speed and the length of the continental...

Velocity Control Rings for RC Pipe on Steep Slopes
This paper discusses the use of internal concrete rings to reduce velocity and concrete erosion for reinforced concrete pipes on steep slopes in the Southern California area....

A Physically-Based Model of Channel Widening
The application of many existing models of river channel morphology is limited by their inability to account for bank erosion and changing channel width through time. This paper outlines...

Determination of Geometry and Stress Distribution of an Optimal Stable Channel
A numerical model which determines the geometry of a threshold channel was recently developed (Diplas and Vigilar, 1992). This is important in the design of irrigation canals, channelization...

Equilibrium Geometry of Channels with Cohesive Banks
An optimization model is used to assess the stability of gravel-bed rivers with cohesive channel banks and to determine the effect of the bank stability on the equilibrium hydraulic geometry....

Field Evaluation of the Sediment Transport Model Stream with a Bank Erosion Component
The graded sediment routing and stream bed evolution model STREAM of Borah, Alonso and Prasad was expanded earlier by incorporating a riverbank erosion component of Osman and Thorne. In...

Expansion and Contraction of Powder River Between Moorhead and Broadus, MT: Geomorphic Observations and Numerical Modeling
Sixteen years of annual surveys demonstrate that the channel of Powder River expands at high flows and contracts at low flows. Channel contraction is associated with the formation of benches...

Luo, Ming
The algebraic stress model of turbulence is employed to calculate the 2-D flow field of the Gongzhui reservoir region. The discharge distribution among the discharging structures is achieved...

Numerical Modeling for Sediment-Pass-Through Operations of Reservoirs
Numerical modeling using the FLUVIAL-12 model was made to determine the feasibility and effectiveness for Sediment-Pass-Through (SPT) operation for Cresta and Rock Creek Reservoirs in...

Stochastic Control With Bounded Sample Paths: An Application to Reservoir Systems
The consideration of at least the first two statistical moments for the storage volumes of a reservoir system is crucial in an analysis aimed at determining the optimal operations policies...

Multi-Reservoir System Simulation Design Using C++ and Object Oriented Programming
Scientists and Engineers intuitively perceive the world as objects with interactions and internal processes. Physicists may view there work as different particles exerting forces on each...

Plunge-Pool Scour by Inclined Jets
A series of experiments were performed in a sand-bed plunge pool with circular jets produced by nozzles at different angles and elevations and conveying different flow discharges. The...

Scour Hole Depth Downstream of the SAF stilling Basin
A Model to predict the maximum local scour depth downstream of the SAF stilling basin is presented. The model is based on stability analysis of a particle attacked by the hydrodynamic...

Bed Material and Numerical Modeling in a Gravel/Cobble Bed Stream
The characteristics of bed material in a cobble or gravel river and their use for numerical simulation of flushing flow needs are discussed. There are three types of bed material: 1) material...

Modeling Kinetics of Sediment Removal in Water Columns
Many physical, chemical, and environmental factors govern the rate of cohesive particle sedimentation in aquatic environments. A new information-based model that uses experimental information...

Numerical Modeling of Fluid Mud Transport in Estuaries
The movement of fluid mud has been cited as the most likely cause of rapid sedimentation in channels located in muddy estuaries. A time dependent, two-dimensional laterally-averaged cohesive...

Discharge-Frequency Relationships in Distributary Flow Systems
The paper describes discharge-frequency relationships in distributary flow systems. The stream network that makes up the flow system is described in terms of how the various stream segments...
