Lower Mississippi River Salt Intrusion Modeling
A laterally averaged numerical model called LAEM has been employed for both a 40- and 55-ft channel. In addition, LAEM has been applied with an increased height of the natural river crossing...

Carichar?Mobile Bed Modeling with Graded Sediments
CARICHAR is a new system used for the computation of sediment transport. The coupled calculation of both water and graded sediments transport allows the simulation of sorting and armoring...

Modeling Sediment Yield Affected by In-Stream Sand Mining
Sediment yield refers to the amount of sediment having passed a given river section for a specified duration. While sediment will be stored in the borrow pit, it will also be depleted...

GLVHT Model Verification using Field Data
The Generalized, Longitudinal-Vertical Hydrodynamic and Transport model (GLVHT) as developed for the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers Waterways Experiment Station and described in Buchak...

The Development of Test Cases for Hydrodynamic and Transport Models
This paper reviews the test cases employed by several investigators in the development of two- and three-dimensional finite difference and finite element hydrodynamic and transport models....

A Semianalytical Method for Solving Unsteady Flow Equations
This paper proposes a method that uses conjunctively the Laplace transform for continuous time and finite element for spatial discretization to solve unsteady flow equations. Laplace transforms...

Comparing Two Estuarine Mass Transport Models
Two simplified mass transport models for partially mixed estuaries were evaluated using data from the Patuxent and James Estuaries. The first of the models was developed by Pritchard in...

Time Averaged Estuarine Mass Transport Equations
A methodology for deriving time averaged mass transport equations for estuaries having weakly nonlinear long wave dynamics is presented. A 2D in-plane advection-dispersion equation for...

Three-Dimensional Modeling of Estuarine Circulation and Contaminant Transport
The conjunctive use of optimal grid and the generalized 3-D hydrodynamic model allows accurate and efficient simulation of realistic estuarine circulation and transport problems. Sheng...

Evaluation of Sand as a Modeling Material Using Vellinga's Guidance
An experimental series of flume tests were conducted using three sizes of sand as modeling sediment in order to evaluate the effect of sediment grain size and the range of validity of...

Predicting and Minimizing Embankment Damage Due to Flood Overtopping
Under a contract with the Federal Highway Administration and Bureau of Reclamation, Simons, Li & Associates, Inc. (SLA) is conducting an overtopping damage study to evaluate various...

Magnitude and Frequency Analysis in Large Rivers
A study of the magnitude and frequency of sediment transport was conducted on the Mississippi River at Natchez, MS, Red River at Alexandria, LA, and Pearl River at Bogalusa, LA. The individual...

Segregation of Sediment During Deposition
A laboratory experiment was conducted to investigate the segregation of sediment during deposition. Sediment eroded from an upslope source area of Blount silt loam was introduced to a...

Numerical Model Analysis of Sedimentation Problems at Lock and Dam 1, Red River Waterway
This paper addresses the numerical modeling techniques used to identify the conditions and parameters affecting sediment deposition at Lock and Dam 1. Two-dimensional finite element models...

Analysis of Storm Event Suspended Sediment Data From Tennessee
In order to provide an understanding of transport patterns, historical suspended sediment data collected by TVA in the late 1930s were computerized and entered onto WATSTORE. Frequent...

Dimensional Analyses of Yellow River Sediment Data
A contemporaneous set of bed load and suspended load sediment transport data were analysed for three hydrologic stations on the Yellow River. There were a total of 82 bed load events,...

Sedimentation of Lakes and Reservoirs in Illinois
A generalized analysis of lake sedimentation rates in Illinois provides a representative 'window' on sedimentation rates of midwestern lakes located in humid...

Mississippi River Sediment Load and Regime Equations
Data collected by the Corps of Engineers were used to evaluate the interaction of such parameters as river slope, suspended sediment load, channel geometry, and river discharge. Calculations...

An Analysis of Channel Stability of the Red River from Shreveport, Louisiana to Index, Arkansas
To analyze the stability of the Red River in the study reach (Shreveport, LA to Index, AR) two comprehensive hydrographic surveys were studied. The hydrographic surveys were compared to...

Effects of Reservoir Regulation on Channel Morphology
A case study is presented in which such a multidisciplinary approach was used to evaluate the impacts of regulated outflows from the recently completed Warm Springs Dam Project (Sonoma...
