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...

Existing U.S. Standards in Hydraulic Engineering
The Task Committee on Recommendations for Standards in Hydraulics confined itself to topics that are used in hydraulic computations or design. Thus numerous standards related to size,...

Foreign Hydraulic Standards and Guidelines
Standardization in Europe is propelled by the incentive to achieve harmonization of design, testing, inspection and certification methods for an internal market among eighteen European...

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,...

Model Study of an Intake Structure
To increase the delivery capacity of an existing gravity-feed water supply pipeline in Orange County, California, modification of the existing structure and placement of a booster pumping...

Design of a Self-Regulating Flap Gate
The objective of the research reported here is to improve the design of a flap gate whose function is to maintain a constant upstream water level over a wide range of flow rates. The self-regulating...

Classification and Prediction of Buoyant Surface Discharges
Past efforts to predict the dilution and geometric characteristics of buoyant surface flows have relied on integral modelling techniques involving the solution of a series of differential...

Application of a 2-D Water Quality Model (BETTER) to Manage Effects of Low Flow and Wastewater Effluents in Cheatham Lake, Tennessee
Applications of BETTER, a 2-D reservoir water quality model, have been made by the Nashville District Corps of Engineers (Corps) and by the Nashville Metropolitan Water and Sewerage Services...

Visualization of a Groundwater Contaminant Model
Groundwater contamination is a problem of major national concern. Three-dimensional characterization of groundwater contamination is typically required. This paper describes integration...

Scientific Visualization Techniques Applied to Water Quality and Transport
Applying the advanced-computer technology available at the San Diego Supercomputer Center (SDSC), researchers from SDSC and the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) simulated and visualized numerical...

Visualizing Groundwater Flow
This presentation demonstrates the application of some public domain scientific visualization software tools in the area of groundwater modeling. Specifically, we use these tools to interpret...

An Integrated Model for Fate and Transport of Oil in Rivers
An integrated oil spill model for microcomputers is developed for simulating fate and transport of spilled oil in rivers. This model can simulate the oil slick transformation in transient...

A New Approach to Local Scour Depth Estimation Under a Horizontal Jet or Free Water Fall
A new formula is presented to estimate the local scour depth development with time due to a horizontal jet or free water fall based on a new approach which combines the concept of energy...

TransAct: An Interactive Transient Analysis Program for Pipelines
The program TransAct is designed to analyze a wide range of transient responses that may have been caused by a complex combination of control actions. For example, there may be the simultaneous...

Spatially Varying Velocity Distribution in Non-uniform Open Channel Flow
The spatial variation of velocity distribution in non-uniform flows were studied, within the framework of a velocity distribution model derived by a probabilistic formulation and entropy-maximization....

Dam Removal Methods, Elwha River, Washington
Preparation of an Environmental Impact Statement (FERC, 1991) for licence applications for the Elwha and Glines Canyon hydroelectric projects on the Elwha River, Washington, included evaluation...

Sediment Modeling of Dam Removal Alternatives, Elwha River, Washington
The new version of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (ACOE) 1-Dimensional sediment transport model, HEC-6 'Scour and Deposition in Rivers and Reservoirs', was...

Sediment Problems Associated with Dam Removal, Muskegon River, Michigan
This paper presents an analysis of sediment movement in Michigan's Muskegon River following the removal of Newaygo Dam. The analysis utilized a physical process simulation...

Predicted Fluvial Response to Dam Removal in the Kalamazoo River Valley, Michigan
Research has been conducted by the Michigan Department of Natural Resources (MDNR) to predict the fluvial response to dam drawdown and determine the distribution of recent deposits along...

Measurement of Air Entrained Flow Properties
The paper discusses conventional methods used in the field to measure bubble size, air concentration, intermittency, and velocity of air entrained flows in chutes....
