Prediction of Fine Sedimentation in Small Marinas
Shoaling due to fine, cohesive sediment deposition in small marina-type basins is governed by basin geometry, hydrodynamic factors and sediment load in outside waters. An easily programmable...

Simulation of Marsh Growth Under Rising Sea Levels
A method for computation of the rise of a marsh surface is presented that includes the effects of tidal and sea level variations, aggregation and deposition of cohesive suspended sediments,...

Numerical Modelling of Pollutant Transport from a Pond to a Stream
The problem of transport of pollutants in groundwater flow from a polluted shallow pond to a natural stream is considered. A numerical model predicting changes in quality of ground water...

Modeling Boundary Layer Flow in Stormwater Detention Basins
An iterative procedure involving an implicit finite difference numerical scheme was implemented on an IBM personal computer for solving steady, uniform and nonuniform boundary layer flow...

Computer-Based Predictions of Atchafalaya Bay Sedimentation
The Atchafalaya River, a distributary of the Mississippi River, discharges into Atchafalaya Bay through the Lower Atchafalaya River and Wax Lake Outlet. The bay delta has grown rapidly...

Numerical Modeling of Fine Sediment Physical Processes
Fine sediment in channels, rivers, estuaries, and coastal waters undergo several physical processes including flocculation, floc disruption, deposition, bed consolidation, and resuspension....

Prediction of Shoaling in Estuarial Channels: A Microcomputer Application
Shoaling rates at three predominant areas of sedimentation in the Hooghly River estuary, India, have been predicted using a sediment transport model run on an IBM compatible microcomputer....

The Impact of the I-664 Bridge-Tunnel Crossing on Sedimentation
A sedimentation evaluation was made of the proposed I-664 Bridge-Tunnel complex across the James River, Virginia. This paper briefly describes the procedures used and the results obtained...

Tidal Inlet Sand Transport in Rollover Pass, Texas
For Rollover Pass, which is a man-made, artificially stabilized tidal inlet located on the upper Gulf Coast of Texas, the magnitude of the net sand transport through the Pass was estimated...

Suspended Sediment Transport from Nonpoint Sources
Precipitation, runoff, and suspended sediment concentration data were collected in a predominantly agricultural watershed in southwestern Illinois from January 1982 through October 1984....

Computer-Based Design of River Bank Protection
A study using the FLUVIAL-11 computer model was made for the Rillito River in order to determine the design configuration for the bank protection which must contain the design flood and...

SEDIMOT II Application to a Large Coastal Watershed
SEDIMOT II was applied to Barker Reservoir watershed in Houston, Texas, in order to simulate sedimentation in the drainage area and the relative effectiveness of sediment control strategies....

The Microcomputer as an Intelligent Workstation in Large Scale Hydrologic Modeling
In an effort to improve the efficiency of the hydrologic modeling activities of the Maryland State Highway Administration (MSHA), a cooperative project between MSHA, the Federal Highway...

Effect of Tall Vegetation on Erosion and Sedimentation: A Microcomputer Package
A model was developed to predict the effect of standing vegetation on sediment yield. The model is based on the relationship between local scour around standing vegetation and the role...

Coagulation in Natural Waters
The hydrodynamics and chemistry of particle-particle interactions can control the transport of particles and of particle-reactive pollutants. In lakes, particle deposition is accomplished...

Particle Sizes in Flocculation and Sedimentation: Models and Experiments
D. F. Lawler et al. developed a model for flocculation, sedimentation, and filtration and predicted the effects of particle size distribution and concentration of the influent in water...

Numerical Modelling of Bed Evolution in Braided Channel Systems
The overall modelling approach adopted is based on an assumption of quasi-steady flow. The numerical algorithm is based on a split-operator approach, in which the flow energy equation,...

The Role of Hydraulics and Sediment in Large River Ecology
The National Science Foundation has sponsored a project under the long term ecological research (LTER) program which is called the 'Illinois Rivers' LTER project....

Lake Water Level and Sediment Management?Case Studies in Illinois
Estimation of the sedimentation in the lake is based on the soil erosion rates in the watershed, the sediment transport in the stream system, and lake trap efficiency. Erosion rates are...

Analyses of Sediment Transport Data by Microcomputer Software
The MINITAB statistical software project has been popularly used on mainframe computers since 1972. In June 1984, a subset of the program was made available for the IBM-PC microcomputer;...
