Explicit Hydraulic Modeling of Sedimentation Transients in Alluvial Channels
An explicit finite difference numerical scheme is used in this study to model sediment transients in alluvial channels. The governing equations are momentum equation and continuity equation...

Personal Computers and Water Network Simulation
The advent of the 16 bit or larger personal computer has the potential for significantly increasing the availability of a powerful tool for hydraulics engineers. In the past, the understanding...

Pressurization and Depressurization in Pipe Flows
When a closed conduit drainage system is subjected to variable inflow rates, the change in flow regimes between free surface flow and pressurized flow may take place. A rising hydrograph...

Intakes for Low Head Hydro Plants
The design of hydro intakes is usually based on a desire to achieve low intake losses and an acceptable approach flow distribution to the turbine. Generally, velocities in the intake canal...

Vortices at Vertical Intakes
This paper presents the results of an experimental investigation designed to predict the formation of weak, free-surface vortices at vertical intakes with a headrace channel. A weak vortex...

Simulation of Evaporation Ponds for Liquid Waste Disposal
A computer model for designing and simulation of evaporation ponds is developed. It is based on the principle of mass conservation for water, for the total dissolved solids (TDS), and...

Aquifer Management Using Discrete Kernels in Microcomputers
An interactive simulation model based on the 'Discrete Kernel Approach' (a Green's function approach) is presented. The response functions (or the...

Hydrodynamic Model of River Flow on a Microcomputer
This paper presents a one-dimensional, finite element model for simulating hydrodynamic responses to various conditions on a river system by using microcomputers. Based on the Saint-Venant...

A Hydrologic Model Developed for Microcomputers
An event oriented hydrologic catchment model has been programmed for use on a microcomputer. Because the program is written in PASCAL, it uses features of this language that eliminate...

Data Acquisition in USACRREL'S Flume Facility
A computerized data acquisition system has been developed that is based on a Hewlett-Packard 9845B desktop computer. The system allows determination of highly accurate water temperatures,...

3-D Orthogonal Curvilinear Circulation Modelling
A three-dimensional circulation model has been developed using an orthogonal curvilinear coordinate system. The model as constructed is capable of simulations on a variety of time and...

Three-Dimensional Simulation of Flow, Salinity, Sediment, and Radionuclide Movements in the Hudson River Estuary
The three-dimensional, finite difference model FLESCOT was applied to a 106-km reach of the Hudson River estuary in New York between Chelsea and the mouth of the river. It predicted the...

Three-Dimensional Simulation of a Buoyancy-Driven Cavity Flow
The preliminary results of a numerical investigation of natural convection flow in a three-dimensional cavity heated from below are presented. The transient three-dimensional simulation...

Applications of Discrete-Element Computational Models to Transient, Multi-Dimensional Problems in Hydrology
The direct computer simulation technique, discrete-element method (DEM) was applied in the development of transient, multi-dimensional mathematical models for simulating hydrologic conditions...

Two-Dimensional Flow Visualization Using the Vortex Computer Code
A computer code has been developed to provide visualization of flow fields with regard to many hydraulic engineering design and analysis problems. The finite-difference computer code VORTEX...

Unique Utilization of a Physical Model to Develop a Construction Sequence of a Major Cofferdam
Lock and Dam 26 Replacement is being constructed on the Mississippi River about 2 miles downstream of the existing Locks and Dam No. 26 at Alton, Illinois. This paper discusses the unique...

Microcomputer Program for Daily Weather Simulation
Extensive climatic data have been collected by the National Weather Service and other agencies, and are available in printed form or on magnetic tapes. The published data are expensive...

Time and Space Resolution for Continuous, Dynamic Storm and Runoff Model Studies
Continuous modelling correctly reproduces start-up values of storages and loss rates and statistics for properties of hydrographs. Kinematics of storms should be considered. The effects...

Landfill Liner Hydraulics for Microcomputers
Two different models are presented for the study of sloping bottom liners for landfills. The first is based on the assumption that the leachate volume is uniformly distributed over the...

The Micro vs. Mainframe in Hydrologic Modeling and Forecasting
This paper describes and compares the performance, application, and suitability of a microcomputer as host for the large-scale hydrologic model called SSARR. The SSARR Model is currently...
