Bed Sediments and Bed Forms of the Lower Mississippi River
Approximately 500 bed material samples were collected from the thalweg of the Lower Mississippi River. At each sample location, a sonic record of the bed was obtained. From the appearance...

Bootstrapping Nonlinear Storm Event Models
A bootstrap method for estimating the parameters of nonlinear storm event models is presented. The method pools (combines) the parameter estimates obtained from fitting computed and observed...

Application of the Generalized Channel Routing Model
Using the linear full dynamic finite difference model the applicability of diffusion and kinematic wave models is investigated. Two dimensionless numbers are suggested for applicable range...

Paleoflood Hydrology and Design Decision for High-Risk Projects
Paleoflood hydrology is not merely one of several alternative methods for risk-based design. Rather, certain kinds of accurate data on the largest paleofloods of recent millennia provide...

The Effect of Aeration on Scour
A vertical water jet was used to study the effects of entrained air, tailwater depth, size of bed material, jet diameter, and jet velocity on scour. Small amounts of entrained air were...

Hermite-Galerkin Model for Dam-Break Floods
A model based on the finite element method using cubic Hermite basis functions and Galerkin weighting was formulated to solve the partial differential equations that govern unsteady one-dimensional...

Use of Linear Programming for Hydraulics Problems
Water is becoming a more and more precious commodity worldwide with each passing day. At the same time, the optimum and most productive solutions to water control and utilization are becoming...

Compact Pump Sump Design
This paper details the design criteria chosen to construct a pump sump within several on-site constrictions. The physical size restrictions of the site necessitated the construction of...

The Equivalence of Path and Node Methods for Water Distribution Network Analysis
This paper deals with the equivalence between commonly employed methods, path and node adjustment methods, for analyzing water distribution networks. The basic equations for steady-state...

Comparison of Flush and Chamber Mounted Dynamic Pressure Transducer
Modeling of hydraulic structures often includes the measurement of dynamic pressure fluctuations. The accuracy of the pressure measurements depends upon the geometry of the tap. Flush...

Two-Dimensional Finite Element Simulation of the Flooding Characteristics in Kawainui Marsh, Hawaii
This paper summarizes the results from the calibration and application of a two-dimensional finite element model capable of simulating the complex circulation characteristics of Kawainui...

Performance Test of Some Selected Sediment Transport Formulas
Performance of some selected sediment transport formulas was tested using a parameter-sensitivity analysis and a series of numerical experiments with an imaginary channel data. Selection...

Practical Applications of 2-D Hydrodynamic Modeling
Two-dimensional hydrodynamic modeling capability has greatly impacted the hydraulics community and significantly altered the approaches to design and analysis of open channel systems....

Effect of Barrier Beach Breaching on Harbor Dynamics and Storm Surges
This paper presents a summary of the flood insurance study, commissioned by the Federal Emergency Management Agency, to determine the 100-year flood elevation for Chatham, a seacoast town...

Geomorphic and Sedimentologic Evaluation of a Proposed Flood Control Project, Truckee River, Reno, Nevada
Geomorphic observations, sediment data and shear stress analyses were integrated to evaluate the potential responses of the steep, coarse grained Truckee River to a proposed flood control...

The Development of a Plan of Study to Evaluate the Physical and Biological Effects of Increased Navigation Traffic on the Mississippi River
An integrity team prepared a Plan of study (POS) that represents the first comprehensive effort on the Upper Mississippi River (UMR), to identify and quantify impacts associated with commercial...

Experimental Study on the Hydraulic Characteristic and Trapping Efficiency of a Vortex Tube Sediment Trap
In this paper, an expression of water extractor ratio of a vortex tube has been obtained according to the principle of energy conservation and transformation; based on the feature of sediment...

Discussion of a Three-Dimensional Hydrodynamic Model of the Upper Chesapeake and Delaware Bays
A time-varying three-dimensional (3-D) numerical model of the Upper Chesapeake and Delaware Bays has been developed to address the impact of deepening the Chesapeake and Delaware (C&D)...

Numerical Accuracies in Steady Open Channel Flow
The authors have reviewed the accuracy of the individual terms and formulations of the conservation of energy equation as used within the constraints of steady open channel flow modelling....

Momentum and Kinetic Energy Coefficient Research?Ramp Flumes
In October 1984. Reclamation Hydraulic Branch staff members investigated the operation of the A-Canal ramp at Klamath Falls, Oregon. The ramp flume was completed in 1983 as a water measurement...
