Nuclide Migration from Areal Sources Into a Fracture
The authors show analytic solutions to the problem of hydrogeologic transport of radionuclides released from finite areal sources into a planar fracture. The authors illustrate the solutions...
Two-Dimensional Groundwater Transport Subgrids in a 3-D Flow Model
The USGS Modular 3-D Finite Difference Ground-Water Flow Model by McDonald and Harbaugh (MODULAR) simulates ground-water flow in three dimensions by breaking the modeled region into several...
On the Selection of Sediment Transport Equations
Existing sediment transport relationships have been calibrated under a certain range of experimental conditions which can be described by the dimensionless grain size, the mobility number,...
Computational Modeling of Sediment Transport in Kachemak Bay
The tide-generated flow circulation in the Kachemak Bay of Alaska was simulated numerically using the Multi-Leveled Finite Element Model originally developed by Kawahara of Japan and recently...
Depleted Uranium Migration in Stream Bedload Environment
The objective of this paper is to present results of a comprehensive hydrologic transport study, designed to assess potential surface water contamination, resulting from the release of...
Analysis of Estuarine Tracer-Gas Transport and Desorption
The riverine tracer-gas technique provides a direct, reach-averaged measure of gas exchange, is fairly simple to implement, and is widely accepted for determining reaeration-rate coefficients...
Loss of Aquatic Habitat in Quincy Bay
Quincy Bay is a backwater area along the upper Mississippi River near Quincy, Illinois. The construction in 1969 of a small boat access channel about 3. 2 km upstream of the natural bay...
Stream Width Adjustment to Upstream Loading
Channel width adjustments takes place either by fluvial erosion or accretion of the banks, or by their mass failure under gravity and subsequent removal of the slump debris. Simulation...
Contaminant Transport from an Array of Sources
The authors show analytic solutions to the problem of contaminant dispersion from an array of point sources in a waste disposal site. These solutions are for waste sources in a fluid-saturated...
PC MODEL BRESSED for Stochastic Prediction of Reservoir Sedimentation
A stochastic flow-storage/sediment-deposition model was written in BASIC with userfriendly features. It is an augmented version of the FORTRAN program RESSED (REServoir SEDimentation)...
Lagrangian Modeling of a Suspended-Sediment Pulse
The one-dimensional Lagrangian Transport Model (LTM) has been applied in a quasi two-dimensional manner to simulate the transport of a slug injection of microbeads in steady experimental...
Settling Tank Model for Deposition in a Tidal Lagoon
A model is developed to assess deposition of suspended sediment in Great Sound, New Jersey. The model employs the classic settling tank concept which utilizes plug flow hydrodynamics,...
Sediment Routing and Stream Bed Evolution Model
A one-dimensional numerical model developed by Borah, Alonso and Prasad is discussed, improved and tested. The model named STREAM routes graded sediments and simulates aggradation, degradation...
Riverine 2D Random Walk Transport Model
A random walk transport model was developed to avoid the amplitude and phase errors inherent in finite difference models. A three-point probability distribution was used for the random...
Computing Contaminant Transport in Unsteady Riverflow
A numerical model capable of simulating transport and dispersion of mass in an unsteady, non-uniform flow field has been developed. Model results compare quite well with existing analytical...
Hydraulic Investigation of the Cache River Basin
To develop a comprehensive solution to the problems that exist in the basin, the Illinois State Water Survey has initiated a hydraulic study. This ongoing research includes collection...
Ackers-White Equation: Transportation by Size Fractions
The Ackers-White procedure for sediment transport has been modified to permit calculation by size fractions. The original logic has been retained, but A values for incipient motion have...
Steady State Fluid Transport Model for Plants
Knowledge of water potentials throughout the xylem and phloem elements as well as in individual cells is fundamental for understanding effects of water and temperature stress on transport...
Design Rainfall for Pennsylvania
The most commonly used source of rainfall estimates is the U. S. Weather Bureau Technical Paper 40. A more detailed study of Pennsylvania storms was conducted in 1970 under the sponsorship...
The Northwest Watershed Research Center, 1959-86
Hydrologic research has been conducted on the Reynolds Creek Experimental Watershed by the Agricultural Research Service for nearly 27 years. Some noteworthy instrumentation, developed...
