Reservoir System Simulation Through Network Flow Programming
A generalized reservoir system simulation model that makes use of a network flow programming technique has been developed for use in planning and operation studies of multi-purpose water...
Analysis of Alluvial Fan Flooding
Alluvial fans are estimated to cover approximately one third of the land area in the southwestern United States. Because of their relatively gentle slopes and well draining characteristics,...
Feasibility Study of Flood Control for the Maumee River in Allen County, Indiana
In March, 1982 the Maumee River overtopped its banks flooding parts of the City of Fort Wayne and unincorporated areas in Allen County, Indiana. The estimated damage to the area was about...
Assessment of Drought Restriction Needs in New Jersey
Due to insufficient rainfall and related runoff during the spring of 1985, the Passaic and Hackensack River Basins in northern New Jersey and related storage reservoirs therein were able...
Response of the Citanduy River to Developments
The sinuous alluvial reach of the Citanduy River in Java, Indonesia has been surprisingly stable in spite of man-made cutoffs which have reduced the channel length from 98. 7 km to 78....
Submerged Vanes for Sediment Control in Rivers
A procedure is developed for a rational design of a system of submerged vanes for depth control in alluvial-river channels. The vanes are vertical, small-aspect ratio foils installed on...
Classification and Behavior of Meander Migration
Meander migrations on the Mississippi River between Cairo, Illinois and Baton Rouge, Louisiana for the time period between the years 1765 and 1930 were classified into six categories based...
Management Strategy
Meanders of sinuous streams are often cut off by natural action or by man in order to improve conveyance or navigability. Cutoff bendways, as long as they remain aquatic, provide extremely...
Continuous Modelling of Downstream River Erosion Caused by 40 Years of Urbanization
The US EPA Stormwater Management Model (SWMM3) was installed on an IBM-PC compatible network. The adapted program, known as PCSWMM3, and incorporating a simple algorithm for modelling...
Effect of the Fluid Velocity on the Biofilm Development
In order to get basic information concerning the application of a biological treatment to the ammonia nitrogen removal from drinking water, we considered the relation between the biofilm...
A Computer Model for Oil Slick Transport in Rivers
A computer model for simulating oil slick transport in rivers is presented. In the model the effects of advection, spreading, evaporation, and dissolution on the transformation of an oil...
Use of Stochastic Hydrology in Reservoir Operation
The Bureau of Reclamation is incorporating stochastic traces to provide a broader basis for management decisions during drought periods for the Central Valley Project in California. A...
Flow and Sediment Transport in Curved Channels with Nonuniform Bed Material
Described is a scheme for controlling the exchange of grain sizes between bed and bed load in a curved alluvial channel. The scheme is an integral part of a model for simulating spatial...
Development of Two- and Three-Dimensional Modeling Systems for Open Channel Flow and Sedimentation
Two- and three-dimensional numerical modeling systems have been developed to address questions of open channel flow and sedimentation for the Corps of Engineers. These systems are complete,...
Laboratory Model Studies of Flood Wave Propagation
Laboratory investigations of unsteady free-surface flow with various combinations of channel and flood conditions were performed. A 72 ft (21. 9 m) long tilting flume was modified to make...
Physical Habitat Simulation and the Moveable Bed
One objective of an instream flow analysis is to quantify a flow that will maintain the existing channel and/or flush fine material from the bed. Five empirical approaches to determine...
Monitoring Groundwater Quality in the Southwest
Monitoring groundwater quality near sources of pollution in the southwest commonly involves highly productive alluvial aquifers. Experience in monitoring in such a setting indicates that...
Advancements in Aerodynamics, Fluid Mechanics and Hydraulics
The theme of these Proceedings is Advancements in Aerodynamics, Fluid Mechanics, and Hydraulics. As indicated by the title, the subject crosses disciplinary boundaries and deals with flow...
Available Compaction Equipment
When discussing available compaction equipment we must keep in mind the purpose of compaction. Compaction is the art of artificially increasing the density or increasing the unit weight...
Three-Dimensional Boundary Element Techniques for Moving Boundary Problems
The boundary element method (BEM) is a powerful numerical method well suited for a wide variety of engineering problems. The numerical computations are performed only on the boundary of...
