Velocity Control Rings for RC Pipe on Steep Slopes
This paper discusses the use of internal concrete rings to reduce velocity and concrete erosion for reinforced concrete pipes on steep slopes in the Southern California area....
Luo, Ming
The algebraic stress model of turbulence is employed to calculate the 2-D flow field of the Gongzhui reservoir region. The discharge distribution among the discharging structures is achieved...
Reservoir Sediment Removal: Hydrosuction Dredging
Hydrosuction dredging is a relatively little-known method of removing sediment deposits from reservoirs. The method is similar to traditional hydraulic dredging except the difference between...
Plunge-Pool Scour by Inclined Jets
A series of experiments were performed in a sand-bed plunge pool with circular jets produced by nozzles at different angles and elevations and conveying different flow discharges. The...
Sheet Flow Resistance of Asphaltic Pavements
A statistical study has been conducted by the authors using 400 points of experimental data taken in the 1970's at Texas A&M for sheet flow runoff during artificial rainfall on...
Temporal and Spatial Variations of Suspended Sediment Concentration during Navigation Traffic in a Natural River
Suspended sediment samples were collected within the channel border area during barge-tow passage events at three cross-sectional locations on the Upper Mississippi River. Typical plots...
Floating Cover Influence on Sediment Transport in Dune-Bed Channels
The results of laboratory flume experiments with a floating cover and a loose bed indicate that, relative to a free surface flow, the increased drag of a floating cover increases flow...
Carpet Flow Analysis
Under very high flow conditions, sediment may be transported either in a suspension or by carpet flow, as defined by Bagnold. This study examines the theoretical conditions for carpet...
Theoretical study of unstable waves in the rapids of the river
This paper examines how the velocity distribution in free-surface flow affects the kinematic and dynamic velocities of disturbance waves on hillslopes or in high-gradient rivers, thereby...
Numerical Analysis of High Velocity Flow with Zero-Depth Line and Oblique Shock Wave in Steep Open-Channels
This paper deals with the numerical analysis of 2D steady high velocity flows with the zero - depth line and the oblique shock wave in steep open channels by means of the method of characteristics....
Considerations in 2-D Modeling of Hydraulically Steep Flow
Simplifications in the equations used to describe shallow water flow lead to some difficulties in modeling supercritical flow. The hydrostatic assumption produces two significant differences...
Numerical Modelling and Laboratory Verification for the Turbulent Flow Field in the Branching Channel
Adopting the depth-averaged k-? turbulence model and using the finite volume method and SIMPLE procedure, the turbulent flow field in the branching channel is numerically solved and verified...

Alternatives for Overtopping Protection of Dams
Prepared by the Task Committee on Overtopping Protection of the Hydraulics Division of ASCE. This report summarizes the results of an inventory and...
Coastal Dynamics `94
During the past decade, numerical models of coastal dynamics have provided far more information than could be validated with field and laboratory measurements. Lack of data has restricted...

Factors Controlling Strong Ground Motion and Their Associated Uncertainties
Of special interest in strong ground motion modeling is a quantification of the degree of influence specific physical parameters have on the computed motions. Associated with the model...
Estimation of Near-Regional Seismic Ground Motion from Underground Nuclear Explosion Tests
A problem unique to the location of a nuclear waste repository adjacent to the Nevada Test Site is the assessment of seismic ground motion from potential underground nuclear explosion...
Seismic Considerations in Sealing a Potential High-Level Radioactive Waste Repository
The potential repository system is intended to isolate high-level radioactive waste at Yucca Mountain according to the performance objective - 10 CFR 60.112. One subsystem that may contribute...
Stress Wave Loading of a Tunnel: A Benchmark Study
Five different finite element or discrete element computer codes were used to solve a sequence of problems leading to the problem of stress-wave loading of a circular tunnel in a jointed...
