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....

Grid-Induced Errors in Depth-Averaged Flow Fields
A computer code called CH2D (Curvilinear Hydrodynamics in Two Dimensions) for computing depth-averaged free-surface flow fields has been used to assess the impact of the rate of change...

Two-Dimensional Floodplain Modeling
A two-dimensional horizontal finite element numerical model (RMA-2) was applied to a 15 mile (24 km) river channel-floodplain reach in West Germany. Previous applications of such models...

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...

Flow Separation Around a Solitary Dike: Eddy Viscosity and Mesh Considerations
The hydronamic model RMA-2V has been verified on a variety of global circulation studies. These studies rarely involved separated flow patterns around sudden expansions or contractions....

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...

3-D Free Surface Flow Modeling by Efficient Finite Element Method
3-D free surface flows in highly irregular boundary configurations are among the most difficult natural phenomena to be simulated by mathematical modeling. Not only the problems of accuracy,...

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...

Three-Dimensional Modelling of Recirculation Behind a Groyne
Extensive investigation on the three-dimensional flow patterns behind a groyne have been carried out in a small-scale experiment. A three-dimensional hydrodynamic numerical model is verified...

Delineation of Ordinary High Water
'Ordinary high water' is used in a court of law to delineate the extent of land ownership of adjacent riparian owners on navigable rivers. The most appropriate...

Impact of Agricultural Levees on Flood Elevations
Agricultural levees are used in many low-lying areas to protect farmlands from floods. The levees are often constructed, maintained, and improved on an ad hoc basis by farmers or with...

Basin-Wide Stormwater Management in Pennsylvania?A Case Study of Hydrologic Performance Standards
Performance standards in the form of 'release rates' are developed using hydrologic computer models. This basin-wide approach to stormwater management considers...

Next-Generation Local Scale Hydromet Forecasting System
Research and development work is being conducted for the National Weather Service on a new-generation flash flood monitoring and forecasting computer workstation. The workstation represents...

Horizontal Density-Gradient Effects on Simulation of Flow and Transport in the Potomac Estuary
A two-dimensional, depth-integrated, hydrodynamic/transport model of the Potomac Estuary between Indian Head and Morgantown, Md., has been extended to include treatment of baroclinic forcing...

3-D Cavity Flow Analysis by a New Fractional Step Method Based on the Finite Element Method
This paper describes a new finite element scheme for solving the time-dependent incompressible viscous fluid flow expressed in terms of the Navier-Stokes equations. The main feature of...

Experiences With a Supercomputer
The advent of ever faster and ever larger computers is opening new areas of scientific study. Within this computational revolution, however, are real people trying to cope with the vagaries...

Three-Dimensional Model of a Stratified Estuary?St. Andrew Bay System, Florida
A three-dimensional modal is applied to a northwest Florida estuary to provide the initial insights into the circulation and flushing patterns of the system. The model, developed by the...
