Computational Open-Channel Hydraulics for Movable-Bed Problems
As a major branch of computational hydraulics, notable advances have been made in numerical modeling of unsteady open-channel flow since the beginning of the computer age. According to...

The Hydraulic and Hydrological Interactions Between Urban Sewer Systems and Receiving Waters at High Discharges
In the transition region from sewer to river, the penetration of river flood water into the sewer network or the hydraulic overload of small rivers due to sewer system discharges, may...

Urban Soft Bottom Low Flow Channel?A New Approach
In 1987, the City of Boulder, Colorado requested assistance from the Urban Drainage and Flood Control District (District) to repair an all too familiar problem of cattails growing in the...

The Effect of Aeration on Scour
A vertical water jet was used to study the effects of entrained air, tailwater depth, size of bed material, jet diameter, and jet velocity on scour. Small amounts of entrained air were...

Evaluation of the Potential for Release of Residual Coal Tar by Flood Scour at a Superfund Site
To address the potential for release of residual coal tar by flood scour, stream cross-sections, stream discharge and sediment grain size data were collected during the Remedial Investigation...

A Generalized Diffusion Wave Flood Routing Model
A generalized diffusion wave model for flood routing is presented. The model can incorporate detailed data on natural cross sections and river bed geometry. An accurate numerical method...

A Multimode Scheme of Characteristic Method for Open Channel Flows
This paper deals with the stability and accuracy of a multimode scheme, based on the method of characteristics, for unsteady one-dimensional open-channels flows. This scheme combines three...

Hermite-Galerkin Model for Dam-Break Floods
A model based on the finite element method using cubic Hermite basis functions and Galerkin weighting was formulated to solve the partial differential equations that govern unsteady one-dimensional...

Diffusion Wave Overland Flow Module
This paper documents the diffusion-wave overland flow module contained in the FORTRAN-callable routine OVERLAND. Subjects covered include the theoretical background, model formulation,...

Maintenance Scheduling for Water Resource Systems: An Application to Advance Maintenance Dredging
A number of investigations have been performed in the recent years to analyze the effect of advance maintenance and to see if it is justifiable. These studies gave promising results but...

Development of a Computer Aided Decision Process for Channel Rehabilitation and Watershed Enhancement Techniques
To assist the engineer in planning and design of channel stabilization measures, an expert system (CADWET) was developed using a commercially available expert system shell program. The...

The Calculation of Flushing Flows for Gravel and Cobble Bed Rivers
Flushing flows are needed to remove fines and sand from a gravel or cobble bed river. A natural stream will have periodic high flows adequate for flushing of fines and sand, but the hydraulic...

Physical Forces Generated by Barge-Tow Traffic Within a Navigable Waterway
Movement of navigation traffic such as barge tows within a restricted inland waterway such as the Illinois, Mississippi, or Ohio Rivers can and will alter the flow field in and around...

Flow Field Near an Inland Navigation Tow
As a vessel moves through a body of water, disturbances are created in the form of altered water levels such as waves or drawdown and altered flow fields such as increased velocities and...

Data Acquisition for Determining the Physical Impacts of Navigation
Research is being conducted to determine the physical effects of navigation on the Upper Mississippi River System (UMRS). Extensive field data on various aspects of physical effects of...

Prototype Measurements of Flows Induced by Navigation Tows
Present projections of growth of commerical navigation traffic indicate that annual tonnage per tow and/or number of tows will continue to increase through the foreseeable future. In order...

The Equivalence of Path and Node Methods for Water Distribution Network Analysis
This paper deals with the equivalence between commonly employed methods, path and node adjustment methods, for analyzing water distribution networks. The basic equations for steady-state...

Hydraulic Analysis for the Shot Tower Subway Station Beneath the Jones Falls
The objective of the hydraulic analysis is the formulation of a strategy to safely accommodate the construction of the Shot Tower Metro Station beneath the existing Jones Falls. The hydraulic...

Secondary-Flow Correction for Depth-Averaged Numerical Models
An empirical equation is proposed for the production and transport of secondary (streamwise) vorticity induced by lateral curvature in shallow water. The streamwise vorticity creates a...

Application of Weakly Compressible Flow Method to 2-D Open Channel Flows
The depth averaged equations for open channel flows are shown to be similar to that of the weakly compressible flows. The finite volume scheme developed for weakly compressible flows has...
