The Total-System Analyzer is a modular computer program for probabilistic total-system performance calculations. The code employs stratified random sampling from model parameter distribution...
A Prototype Distributed Processing System Water Control Data Processing at Tulsa District U.S. Army Corps of Engineers
The Tulsa District, Corps of Engineers operates 50 multi-purpose reservoirs controlling runoff from all or parts of 7 states. These reservoirs are operated for flood control, water supply,...
NEXRAD Input to Real-Time Reservoir Regulation
The Corps of Engineers has a need for radar information to enhance rain gauge measurements in determining average rainfall over a particular basin for hydrological forecast models used...
A Bivariate Stochastic Reservoir Model
A bivariate distribution of peak flows and volumes is derived taking into account their correlation structure. This distribution is then used to derive reservoir operation curves which...
Effect of Storm Distribution on Watershed Stormwater Management
This paper presents a case study illustrating the effect of the selection of rainfall distribution pattern upon the ability of a calibrated rainfall-runoff simulation model to replicate...
A New Finite Element Formulation of the Generalized Laminated Plate Theory
The Generalized Laminate Plate Theory (GLPT) predicts stress distributions in laminated composite plates with accuracy comparable to a full three-dimensional analysis. The original implementation...

This paper presents a finite element formulation for a three dimensional twenty-seven node hierarchical solid element for heat condition where the element temperature approximation can...
On the Transformation of Wave Spectra by Currents and Bathymetry
Application of the conservation principle for action spectral density along rays, frequently described in literature, is not sufficient to specify the refracted wave spectrum. In order...
A Turbulence Model for Transverse Mixing in Rivers
A two length-scale turbulence model is developed to simulate transverse mixing prosesses in rivers. The dispersion of the effluent from the MUC (Montreal Urban Community) sewage treatment...
The Moving Contact Line
The flow field around the moving contact line, generated by an impulsive, horizontal motion of a vertical plate, is studied numerically. The two-dimensional, unsteady Navier-Stokes equations,...
Three-Dimensional Finite Element Analysis of Stress and Activation in the Heart
A finite element (FE) method has been developed for three-dimensional (3D) analysis of stress distributions and activation patterns in the left and right ventricles of the canine heart....
Finite Element Stress Analysis of a Spinal Segment
A large number of factors need to be determined to understand the biomechanics of a surgical procedure about the lumbar spine. Some of these factors are amenable to experimental investigations...
In-Vitro Measurement of Static Contact Pressure Distribution in Synovial Joints
The objective of this presentation is, at first, to review the various approaches to the measurement of contact pressure distribution in synovial joints, and then to describe the development...
