Computer Aided Design of Ground-Water Monitoring Programs
Preliminary evaluation of flow patterns and plume migration by computer simulation aids in determining the spacing of monitoring devices perpendicular to the flow direction, the location...

Computation of Gradually-Varied Flows in Channel Networks
For computing steady-state, gradually-varied flows, a new algorithm is presented which allows solution of the entire channel system simultaneously, and unlike other available methods,...

Modeling Unsteady Flows in Large Basins: The Santa Cruz Experience
A case study modeling unsteady flows in a 3,500-square mile basin in the semiarid Southwest has been performed. The evaluation uses novel techniques of mathematical modeling in a data-intensive...

Numerical Modelling of Bed Evolution in Braided Channel Systems
The overall modelling approach adopted is based on an assumption of quasi-steady flow. The numerical algorithm is based on a split-operator approach, in which the flow energy equation,...

Numerical Simulation of Stratified Flows
The two-dimensional width-averaged equations for flow in estuaries or resevoirs are derived, and the basic assumptions are stated. The heat and salt conservation equations are coupled...

Hydrothermal Model Study of Stratified Flow in a Power Plant Cooling Water Recycle/Intake Canal: Reynolds and Densimetric Froude Number Effects
During the winter of 1983-1984, the control of frazil ice at the trash tracks using pneumatic air guns was evaluated at Danskammer Point Generating Station. This paper presents a brief...

Analyses of Sediment Transport Data by Microcomputer Software
The MINITAB statistical software project has been popularly used on mainframe computers since 1972. In June 1984, a subset of the program was made available for the IBM-PC microcomputer;...

Explicit Hydraulic Modeling of Sedimentation Transients in Alluvial Channels
An explicit finite difference numerical scheme is used in this study to model sediment transients in alluvial channels. The governing equations are momentum equation and continuity equation...

Pressurization and Depressurization in Pipe Flows
When a closed conduit drainage system is subjected to variable inflow rates, the change in flow regimes between free surface flow and pressurized flow may take place. A rising hydrograph...

Intakes for Low Head Hydro Plants
The design of hydro intakes is usually based on a desire to achieve low intake losses and an acceptable approach flow distribution to the turbine. Generally, velocities in the intake canal...

Vortices at Vertical Intakes
This paper presents the results of an experimental investigation designed to predict the formation of weak, free-surface vortices at vertical intakes with a headrace channel. A weak vortex...

Data Acquisition in USACRREL'S Flume Facility
A computerized data acquisition system has been developed that is based on a Hewlett-Packard 9845B desktop computer. The system allows determination of highly accurate water temperatures,...

3-D Orthogonal Curvilinear Circulation Modelling
A three-dimensional circulation model has been developed using an orthogonal curvilinear coordinate system. The model as constructed is capable of simulations on a variety of time and...

Three-Dimensional Simulation of Flow, Salinity, Sediment, and Radionuclide Movements in the Hudson River Estuary
The three-dimensional, finite difference model FLESCOT was applied to a 106-km reach of the Hudson River estuary in New York between Chelsea and the mouth of the river. It predicted the...

Three-Dimensional Simulation of a Buoyancy-Driven Cavity Flow
The preliminary results of a numerical investigation of natural convection flow in a three-dimensional cavity heated from below are presented. The transient three-dimensional simulation...

Applications of Discrete-Element Computational Models to Transient, Multi-Dimensional Problems in Hydrology
The direct computer simulation technique, discrete-element method (DEM) was applied in the development of transient, multi-dimensional mathematical models for simulating hydrologic conditions...

Two-Dimensional Flow Visualization Using the Vortex Computer Code
A computer code has been developed to provide visualization of flow fields with regard to many hydraulic engineering design and analysis problems. The finite-difference computer code VORTEX...

Landfill Liner Hydraulics for Microcomputers
Two different models are presented for the study of sloping bottom liners for landfills. The first is based on the assumption that the leachate volume is uniformly distributed over the...

Flood Routing Through Rock Dumps in Natural Channels
The paper deals with flow through rockfill to analyze the problem of flood routing through large masses of waste rock from mining operations dumped in natural channels. Rock dumps in ephemerous...
