Total Sediment Load Calculations for Goodwin Creek
Total sediment transport load of Goodwin Creek was calculated for the period from 10/1/84 to 9/30/88 using transport relations derived from sample data for the fines (< 0.06 mm),...
Estimation of Unsampled Sediment Discharge
A procedure is developed to estimate the total bed material load without using the size distribution of suspended load. Because of the uncertainties involved in the calculation of the...
A Watershed Model of Sediment Transport?Load-I
A watershed sediment transport model has been formulated and optimized upon storm hydrographs and the associated sediment load data for several watersheds that have been urbanized and...
Infiltration of Water to the Ground in a Flood-Control Reservoir with Seepage
As storm water management in urban area with increasing amount of runoff, flood-control reservoir with the bed having large permeability to enrich the groundwater is considered. A dynamical...

Numerical Model Studies of Wetland Hydraulics for Bolsa Bay, California
The Bolsa Bay area, near Los Angeles, presently consists of three distinct regions separated by two sets of culverts. A development is being considered, in which a balance between housing...
A Stochastic Approach to Sediment Transport in Alluvial Rivers
A dimensionless sediment transport function relation for alluvial rivers has been developed using stochastic approach. The dimensionless function may be applied to estimate suspended load,...
The Turbulent Wake of a Recirculating Eddy in Shallow Waters
The wake, created by injecting dye into the recirculating zone of a sudden lateral expansion in a shallow open channel, is examined experimentally for a range of bed-friction influence....
Cellular Automaton Simulation of Viscous Free Surface Fluid Dynamics
It has been demonstrated elsewhere that the simple interaction of a two dimensional field of discrete particles traveling on a regular lattice yields large scale behavior closely approximating...
Analysis of Storm Sewers During Surcharge
A mathematical model based on a lumped system approach is presented to simulate unsteady flow in storm sewers during surcharge. The model equations and method of solution are presented....
Effects of Climate Change on Watershed Runoff
This paper examines forecasts of changes in watershed runoff in the Delaware River basin that result from a range of predicted effects of increased atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2)...
Cocohatchee River Basin Study
The report presents the modeling of the Cocohatchee River basin, including 2-D routings for wetland regimes, hydrologic/hydraulic analyses of the agricultural and suburban land uses, and...
Seven Oaks Dam Outlet Works Design
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has completed the preliminary design of the outlet works for the proposed Seven Oaks Dam. The dam is the upstream-most feature of the Corps'...
Fixed-Wheel Gates Uses and Limitations
The fixed-wheel type of gate, which derives its name from sets of wheels mounted on axles fixed to the gate, rolls upon and transmits the hydraulic load of the gate to guide tracks bearing...
