Predicting Overland Flow and Infiltration
The kinematic overland flow and the Green-Ampt infiltration equations are coupled and rewritten in terms of several nondimensional parameters. Constant values of these parameters imply...
Computerized Information for Selecting Protected Streamflow
For developing criteria for protected flow (the flow below which water withdrawals for offstream uses are not permitted) for streams in a relatively hydrologically homogeneous region,...
Vertical Transport of Fine-Grained Sediments in Suspensions
Numerical-model sensitivity studies were made to determine the effect of bed flux on the vertical distribution of fine-grained material suspended in turbulent flow. The transport equation...
Simulating Flow in the Tidal Potomac River
A one-dimensional unsteady flow model has been applied to the tidal Potomac River, including its major tributaries and marginal embayments, between Washington, D. C. and Indian Head, Md....
Canal Discharge Impacts on Fahka Union Bay
The effect of a large drainage canal's discharge on Fahka Union Bay's value as a nursery ground for estuarine-dependent fish and shellfish, including commercially...
Numerical Modelling of Pollutant Transport from a Pond to a Stream
The problem of transport of pollutants in groundwater flow from a polluted shallow pond to a natural stream is considered. A numerical model predicting changes in quality of ground water...
Flowfield Analysis with a Workstation
An engineering analysis workstation has been developed to expedite flow analysis. The workstation couples a microcomputer, a powerful numerical equation solver, and a versatile graphics...
Numerical Modeling of Fine Sediment Physical Processes
Fine sediment in channels, rivers, estuaries, and coastal waters undergo several physical processes including flocculation, floc disruption, deposition, bed consolidation, and resuspension....
Energy Dissipation in Tidal Waterways
Energy dissipation in tidal waterways is estimated analytically by a harmonic method. Calibration of harmonic parameters is done through numerical simulation. Relations between tidal energy...
Open Channel Flowrate Measurement Using Multipath Acoustic Flowmeters
Recent acoustic flowmeter developments have improved the applicability and accuracy of the multipath acoustic measurement technique. Accuracy, hardware cost and calibration cost can be...
The Effects of Long Term Withdrawals on the Mid and Lower Hawthorne Aquifers, Cape Coral, Florida
The paper reports on a study to assess the water resource availability of two artesian aquifers (the mid-Hawthorn and lower Hawthorn) in Cape Coral, Florida. The impacts of future withdrawal...
A General Microcomputer Approach for Evaluating Ground-Water Responses
A general impulse response function for calculating responses for stream-aquifer interaction, pumping in leaky and nonleaky artesian aquifers, and two dimensional dispersion is presented....
Entrainment of Interstitial Water by Overland Flow
The paper reports on a study to investigate the entrainment of interstitial soil water by overland flow. A diffusion model was developed to describe the subsurface concentration and the...
A Ground Water Flow Model for Protection of the Northwest Well Field, Dade County, Florida
A new study was initiated to determine the appropriate cone of depression for the Northwest Well Field and to develop land use restrictions within that area. A finite-difference ground...
Computer Modeling of Groundwater Flow
In attempting to numerically solve the nonlinear equation for flows in porous media, the Galerkin process, which bears a great similarity to direct methods of the calculus of variations,...
Applications of a Diffuser Performance Model at Browns Ferry Nuclear Plant
An unsteady flow model and a diffuser performance formulation were combined to more accurately determine plant-induced temperature effects. This model has been applied to several aspects...
Eight Open Channel Flow Programs for the Apple IIe Microcomputer
The purpose of this paper is to present eight programs in hydraulics and hydrology suitable for running on the Apple IIe and Apple IIc microcomputers. The programs are: Flood 1, Flood...
Solving the Two-Dimensional Diffusion Flow Model
A simplification of the two-dimensional (2-D) continuity and momentum equations is the diffusion equation. To investigate its capability, the numerical model using the diffusion approach...
Water Surface Profiles in Compound Channels
The paper explores the use of the proposed compound channel Froude number in problems of water surface profile computation. It can be used not only to determine critical depth and to identify...
Analyzing Combined Sewer Overflow Events
The Illinois Environmental Protection Agency/Illinois Pollution Control Board (ILEPA/IPCB) direct that combined sewer system overflows (CSO) be given sufficient treatment including 'first...
