Application of a Generalized Risk Dynamic Model to a Spillway Design Flood
Risk analysis can provide a logical basis for selecting the optimal design capacity of a flow conveyance hydraulic structure for the least total cost or specified non-exceeding risk levels....

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...

Visualizing Groundwater Flow
This presentation demonstrates the application of some public domain scientific visualization software tools in the area of groundwater modeling. Specifically, we use these tools to interpret...

A Three-Dimensional Natural Resource Damage Assessment and Coupled Geographical Information System
A numerical model for natural resource damage assessments is discussed. The model addresses a wide range of spatial and temporal scales. The transport equations for both pollutant and...

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...

Sediment Problems Associated with Dam Removal, Muskegon River, Michigan
This paper presents an analysis of sediment movement in Michigan's Muskegon River following the removal of Newaygo Dam. The analysis utilized a physical process simulation...

Predicted Fluvial Response to Dam Removal in the Kalamazoo River Valley, Michigan
Research has been conducted by the Michigan Department of Natural Resources (MDNR) to predict the fluvial response to dam drawdown and determine the distribution of recent deposits along...

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...

Computerized Data Acquisition for an Undergraduate Hydraulics Laboratory
Basic hydraulics principles and the operation of certain hydraulic systems can be effectively demonstrated with the aid of relatively inexpensive data acquisition and analyses systems....

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...

Proposed Methodology to Update Embayment Sedimentation Data for TVA Reservoirs
The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the accuracy and usefulness of bathymetric data resulting from routine fisheries and aquatic biology hydroacoustic surveys in TVA reservoirs for...

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...

Use of Electronic Microprocessor-Based Instrumentation by the U.S. Geological Survey for Hydrologic Data Collection
The U.S. Geological Survey is acquiring a new generation of field computers and communications software to support hydrologic data-collection at field locations. The new computer hardware...

Data Acquisition Techniques for Rotating Machinery
Monitoring the condition and performance of a hydraulic turbine or pump requires the simultaneous collection of data related to shaft speed, torque, power, water and airborne sound pressure...
