Coastal Sediments
The two-volume Proceedings of Coastal Sediments '87 contain more than 150 full papers delivered at a specialty technical conference of the American Society of Civil Engineers...

Pipeline Types and Design Considerations
Pipelines are extensively used to upgrade irrigation delivery facilities. The advantages of a pipeline system include an improvement in water conservation and the ability to extend water...

Remote Sensing of Estuaries and Tide-Dominated Coastal Processes
The recent appearance of low-cost microcomputers with user-friendly software for analyzing satellite imagery is including more estuarine investigators to use satellite data. High resolution...

Estimating Average Velocity in Cobble-Bed Channels
A data set obtained from natural channels having D//5//0 less than 64 mm and d/D//5//0 in the range of 3 to 20 is used as a basis for testing equations proposed by Limerinos, Thompson...

Time Variability of Suspended Material Concentrations in Estuaries
The concentration of suspended materials (SMC) within estuarine systems varies in response to a variety of factors. This variability complicates sampling SMC and establishes particular...

An Analytical Approach to Cohesive Sediment Transport
Simulation of mud transport processes is adequately achieved by using the unsteady advection-diffusion equation along with the appropriate source and sink terms. The effects of selective...

An Investigation of the Alcatraz Disposal Site
The Alcatraz dredged material disposal site in San Francisco Bay is a dispersive site that is not intended to accumulate disposed sediment. However, the recent discovery of shoaling at...

Carichar?Mobile Bed Modeling with Graded Sediments
CARICHAR is a new system used for the computation of sediment transport. The coupled calculation of both water and graded sediments transport allows the simulation of sorting and armoring...

Nontidal Exchange Processes at the Chesapeake Bay Entrance
Magnitudes of gravitational and meteorologically-driven exchange at the entrance to the Chesapeake Bay are compared using current measurements, numerical model runs and subtidal volume...

Modeling Materials for Protecting Earth Weirs
This paper reports laboratory experiments on various materials used to protect earth weirs. Dumped rock, gabion mattresses, and shaped blocks on a gravel layer were subjected to high velocity...

Dispersal of Dredged Material Disposal Plumes
An empirical model describes dispersal of dredged material disposal plumes in an urban estuary, Central Long Island Sound, during spring of 1983. The model uses in situ current meter data...

Evaluation of Sand as a Modeling Material Using Vellinga's Guidance
An experimental series of flume tests were conducted using three sizes of sand as modeling sediment in order to evaluate the effect of sediment grain size and the range of validity of...

Uncertainty in Models for Environmental Management
In recent years, computer models have become increasingly popular as tools to aid the decision-maker in balancing complex, interacting factors in environmental management and pollution...

Segregation of Sediment During Deposition
A laboratory experiment was conducted to investigate the segregation of sediment during deposition. Sediment eroded from an upslope source area of Blount silt loam was introduced to a...

Nuclide Migration from Areal Sources Into a Fracture
The authors show analytic solutions to the problem of hydrogeologic transport of radionuclides released from finite areal sources into a planar fracture. The authors illustrate the solutions...

On the Selection of Sediment Transport Equations
Existing sediment transport relationships have been calibrated under a certain range of experimental conditions which can be described by the dimensionless grain size, the mobility number,...

PC MODEL BRESSED for Stochastic Prediction of Reservoir Sedimentation
A stochastic flow-storage/sediment-deposition model was written in BASIC with userfriendly features. It is an augmented version of the FORTRAN program RESSED (REServoir SEDimentation)...

Refined Modeling to Estimate Sediment Discharge
Numerical solution of the two-dimensional turbulent flow over a train of identical dunes is obtained with the Algebraic Stress Model for closure. The effective tractive force acting on...

Sediment Routing and Stream Bed Evolution Model
A one-dimensional numerical model developed by Borah, Alonso and Prasad is discussed, improved and tested. The model named STREAM routes graded sediments and simulates aggradation, degradation...

Ackers-White Equation: Transportation by Size Fractions
The Ackers-White procedure for sediment transport has been modified to permit calculation by size fractions. The original logic has been retained, but A values for incipient motion have...
