Observation of Sediment Resuspension in Old Tampa Bay, Florida
Equipment and methodology have been developed to monitor sediment resuspension at two sites in Old Tampa Bay. Velocities are measured with electromagnetic current meters and suspended...
A Review of the State-of-the-Art in Sediment-Water Column Interaction Measurement Techniques
This paper reviews the state-of-the-art measurement techniques available to water quality modeling practioners to estimate: (a) sediment oxygen demand rates, (b) sediment-water column...
A Computational Analysis of Dynamic Interaction of Dam with Reservoir Water and Sediment
A two-dimensional model of porous media is employed to calculate the reduction of the onset hydrodynamic pressure with the bulk modulus of pore water in reservoir sediment. However, the...
Development of Suspended Sediment Concentration Profiles
This paper deals with the adjustment of suspended sediment concentration profiles in a fully developed, steady, uniform two-dimensional turbulent open channel flow without initial sediment...
Effect of Temperature on Settling of Fine Sediments
Results from settling experiments in an annular flume using kaolinite clay in distilled water are presented. Identical experiments carried out at different temperatures show that as temperature...
A Hybrid Model for Sediment Concentration Profiles
The paper discusses the deficiency in the existing theories on suspended concentration profiles which is due to the variations of theories for modeling the velocity profiles. As can be...
Example of the Stable Channel Design Approach
This paper shows an example application of a new method being packaged by the US Army Engineer Waterways Experiment Station to aid in the design of stable flood-control channels. A stable...
Stable Channel Analytical Design Method
The Flood-Control Channels Research Program is being conducted at the US Army Engineer Waterways Experiment Station to develop systematic methods for design of stable channels for small...
Guidance on the Selection and Use of Sediment Discharge Formulas
The purpose of this paper is to discuss the sediment function module of the computer program SAM. SAM is being developed as a product of the US Army Corps of Engineers Flood Control Channels...
Maximum Scour Below Dams Caused by Over-Fall Flow
The scour of sediment below a check dam caused by over-fall flow will lead to the destruction of dams. The formation of the scour hole below the dam will lead to shorten the seepage lines,...
Bed Sediments and Bed Forms of the Lower Mississippi River
Approximately 500 bed material samples were collected from the thalweg of the Lower Mississippi River. At each sample location, a sonic record of the bed was obtained. From the appearance...
Sediment Concentration Measurements Below Small Headcuts
This study is designed to determine erosion rates downstream from a small headcut. The sediment concentration from a scour hole produced by a plunging jet is measured as a function of...
Physical Modelling of Self Forming Alluvial Channels
A method is presented for the determination of a practicable physical model of self-forming channels in cohesionless alluvium. Both sand bed and gravel bed regime channels are considered....
Modification to John H. Overton Lock and Dam
The Red River Waterway Project, Mississippi River to Shreveport, Louisiana, will consist of a navigation channel 9 feet (2.7m) deep by 200 feet (61.0m) wide, 5 locks and dams providing...
The Sediment Weighted Histogram Generator and Estimation of Sediment Transport Trends
Long term sediment transport trends may be evaluated using a sediment histogram generator program that was written for microcomputers. Flows can be extracted directly from a compact disc...
Can Erosion Control Meet Regulatory Standards?
An erosion control design method for rainfall/surface erosion is presented that enables the designer to determine design loads and the resulting erosion control requirements. Design loads...
Comparison of Correction Factor for Dispersion Coefficient Based on Entropy and Logarithmic Velocity Profiles
Recently, new velocity distribution equations have been developed by Chiu (1987, 1989) through the use of maximum entropy principle. A comparison will be made of the correction factor...
On the Problem of Sediment Deposition in Large Reservoirs
Sediment deposition and its accumulation in a large reservoir depends on the inflow and reservoir storage content, respectively. This fact is used to model the cumulative deposition of...
Application of the Ackers-White Procedure for Transport by Size Fractions and Testing in HEC-6
Modification of the Ackers-White method for the calculation of sediment transport by size fractions has led to a procedure which not only permits such calculations, but also increases...
Numerical Modeling of a Trench Fill and Scour
The sediment fill and scour in a dredged trench was numerically simulated by the nodal-collocation finite element method and an explicit scheme. The one-dimensional unsteady sediment-laden...
