Design of a Stratified Cooling Channel
Cooling ponds are used for managing waste heat discharges. Cooling ponds are, however, expensive to construct and operate. A cooling channel is studied as an alternative means of managing...

Verification of a Three-Dimensional Numerical Hydrodynamic Model of the C&D Canal and Adjacent Estuaries
A 3D hydrodynamic model of the C&D Canal and adjacent estuaries was developed by using the WES-CH3D code. CH3D uses a simplified second order vertical turbulence model based on...

A Microcomputer-Based System for Two-Dimensional Flow Modeling
An integrated, microcomputer-based system has been developed for simulation of two-dimensional, unsteady, free surface flows. The system consists of a finite-element mesh generation code,...

Application of a 2-D Water Quality Model (BETTER) to Manage Effects of Low Flow and Wastewater Effluents in Cheatham Lake, Tennessee
Applications of BETTER, a 2-D reservoir water quality model, have been made by the Nashville District Corps of Engineers (Corps) and by the Nashville Metropolitan Water and Sewerage Services...

Tracking Cold Water in a Large Reservoir System
The Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) Environmental River Resource Aid (TERRA) is a computer workstation graphics display that tracks environmental variables in the power service area....

A Review of Modeling and Analysis Approaches for Optimization of Reservoir System Operations
Numerous mathematical models have been developed for sizing reservoir storage capacities and establishing operating policies during project planning, for reevaluating the operating policies...

Visualization of a 3D Model of Chesapeake Bay
A three-dimensional (3D) numerical hydrodynamic and water quality model (WQM) of the Chesapeake Bay and its major tributaries has been developed by the US Army Engineer Waterways Experiment...

Visualization of a Groundwater Contaminant Model
Groundwater contamination is a problem of major national concern. Three-dimensional characterization of groundwater contamination is typically required. This paper describes integration...

An Integrated Model for Fate and Transport of Oil in Rivers
An integrated oil spill model for microcomputers is developed for simulating fate and transport of spilled oil in rivers. This model can simulate the oil slick transformation in transient...

Numerical Model Development for Oil Spill Dispersion into the Marine Environment
A 3-D oil spill model was developed to study the behaviour of heavy spilled oil in the sea. The model could describe the behaviour on the spilled oil on the sea surface, throughout the...

Sediment Modeling of Dam Removal Alternatives, Elwha River, Washington
The new version of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (ACOE) 1-Dimensional sediment transport model, HEC-6 'Scour and Deposition in Rivers and Reservoirs', was...

PC Versatility in Modern Hydraulic Laboratory Data Acquisition Systems
Recent and newly emerging developments in low cost (personal) computing have enabled engineers to implement sophisticated data collection and analysis techniques on computing platforms...

Data Acquisition Systems for IBM Compatible System
Portable data acquisition systems composed of IBM compatible PC/XT/AT computers and analog to digital conversion cards can be configured with relative ease. These systems have the flexibility...

Chesapeake Bay Data Set for Three-Dimensional Hydrodynamic Model Verification
A comprehensive data set representing September 1983 conditions on the Chesapeake Bay has been assembled and is proposed as a possible data set for inclusion in the work of the ASCE Task...

3-D Hydrodynamic Model Verification Using ADCPS
A physically comprehensive, hydrodynamic model of the East River has been used for a continuous three year simulation. As part of the calibration process, detailed vertical profiles of...

Investigations on 3-D Flow Structures in Combined Systems of Groynes and Harbour Basins
The structure of the flow field in harbour basins shows significant three-dimensional (3-D) effects, e.g. variation of the direction of the horizontal velocity components with depth, existence...

Prescribed Solution Forcing Method for Model Verification
This paper describes a method for verifying the consistency and order of accuracy of a numerical implementation of a pde-model. We present an example of its application to a 3D hydrodynamic...

3-D Free Surface Flow Model Verification
This paper is intended to achieve two objectives: (1) providing the readers and participants of the 1991 ASCE National Conference on Hydraulic Engineering with background information about...

Application of a Geographic Information System to Estuarine Hydrodynamic Modeling
A geographic information system has been used in a hydrodynamic study of Albemarle Sound, North Carolina, to provide an efficient means for spatial data organization, information display,...

Two-Dimensional Hydrodynamic Modeling of a Reach of the Mississippi River in Pool 19
A depth-integrated finite-element model (RMA-2V) was applied on a section of the Upper Mississippi River to study the hydraulic characteristics of the floodplain-river system. The area...
