Accessing Atlantic City
Construction of the 2.2 million sq ft Atlantic City Convention Center is well under way. With 486,000 sq ft of exhibition space, the center and accompanying rail terminal could help restore...

Intelligent Transportation Education
The comprehensive traffic surveillance study for the New York State Thruway Authority (NYSTA) began in late September 1993. The project involved the study of available traffic management...

Potential Flow Instability Theory and Bed Forms
An extended, generalised version of two-dimensional linearised potential flow theory of fully unsteady fluid flow-sediment bed interaction is presented. In contrast to previous potential...

Wetland Mitigation Evaluation Ten Years After Florida Keys Bridge Replacement
From 1912 to 1935, the Florida Keys were connected to the mainland by Henry Flagler's Overseas Railroad. The 1935 Labor Day Hurricane destroyed most of the railroad from Plantation...

Investigating the Non-Convexity of the Groundwater Quality Management Response Function
Under certain simplifying assumptions, the groundwater quality management model can be considered a function of a limited number of variables that describe both the transport simulation...

Sediment Transport Modeling for the Glen-Colusa Irrigation District Fish Screen Modifications
The Glen-Colusa Irrigation District (GCID) pumping plant is located on an oxbow of the Sacramento River approximately 100 miles north of Sacramento (Figure 1). The existing fish screen...

Estimation of Bed Material Transport Capacity
A procedure is presented which combines several computational components for the estimation of bed material transport capacity in alluvial channels. Bed load transport is estimated through...

Hydrodynamic Simulations in Sediment-Carried Contaminant Modeling for the Buffalo River, New York
Accurate prediction of hydrodynamics is of great importance to modeling contaminant transport and water quality in a river and to estimating potential exposure contamination levels in...

Scour Study for Bridge Design on Temecula Creek
Channel-bed scour was studiedfor the proposed new Pala Road Bridge on Temecula Creek in Riverside County, California. In order to determine the general scour, sediment transport and potential...

Design of Riparian Habitat Replacement in Active Floodplains
Conventional flood control engineering techniques and approaches that have been traditionally been applied are now challenged by the public and no longer readily available as floodplain...

Use of Channel Forming Discharge Concepts for Flood Control Channel Design
Evidence suggests that for perennial and ephemeral rivers that are in regime, bankfull flow is strongly correlated with channel morphology. Evidence suggests that this discharge is also...

Pollutant Transport Across Porous Stream Beds
The presence of porous streambeds generates a significant interaction between the main stream flow above it and the flow through the porous sub-stratum. This coupling affects both flows,...

A Screening Level Model for Estimation of Vadose Zone Leaching and Saturated Zone Mixing: VLEACHSM
A screening level computer model has been developed for the evaluation of pollutant migration through the vadose zone and subsequent mixing within the saturated zone. The model, called...

Floodplain Analysis of the Lower Santa Margarita River in Camp Pendleton Marine Air Base, California
Floods of 1993 caused extensive flooding of the Santa Margarita River, and significant damage to Camp Pendleton. A floodplain analysis was performed including an assessment of recent flood...

Alachlor Transport in Laboratory Soil Columns
Spraying of agricultural chemicals result in their travel downward through the unsaturated zone and adsorption to the surrounding soil. Infiltration from rainfall and irrigation solubilize...

Predicting Transport of Organics through Soil Columns using Distributed Mass-Transfer Rates
A numerical model to describe contaminant transport through soil columns, including distributed mass-transfer, is developed. Both a gamma distribution and a lognormal distribution are...

Modeling Groundwater Contaminant by Unstructured FVM
This study focuses on the numerical solution of the integral form of transport equation on unstructured grids. The algorithm is developed in direct finite volume concept and constructed...

Discussions of a 3D Numerical Simulation of Transient Regional Groundwater Flow and Transport
A 3D numerical model of a groundwater flow and transport was developed to study the movement of radionuclides in the Savannah River Nuclear Site, South Carolina. The modeling effort has...

Calibration of Sediment Transport Model for the Upper End of Elephant Butte Reservoir
Elephant Butte Reservoir is located about 125 miles north of El Paso, Texas on the Rio Grande. The reservoir is approximately 35 miles long with a narrow neck, called the Narrows, about...

Interdisciplinary Research of Mountainous Areas: Past, Present, and Future
In the past few years, there has been a growing recognition internationally, of a need to better understand hydrometeorologic, hydraulic, sedimentologic, geomorphic processes in gravel-,...
