The TABS-2 two-dimensional numerical modeling system was used to predict the potential for fine sediment deposition in the lock approach channels at Lock and Dam Nos. 4 and 5 on the Red...
Application of 2-D Model to Reduce Sedimentation Problems
The Corps of Engineers opened Lock and Dam No. 1 on the Red River Waterway in 1984. During the first runoff season, excessive quantities of fine sediment deposited in both the upstream...
Friction Slope Computation for Mathematical Models
The behavior of the energy flow gradient as function of depth and velocity is analyzed for three flow resistance methods. In the paper, the necessary modifications introduced to the methods...
Modelling Changes in Coastal Morphology
A description is given of a newly-developed coastal sediment transport model. Features of the model are the inclusion of cross-shore transport and non-potential suspended load, the latter...
Modelling of Sand Bars in Coastal Environments
A mathematical model describes the formation of sand bars by progressive wind-generated waves. The model decomposes into several constituents linked together in a two step morphological...
Engineering Models for Coastal Sediment Transport
During the last ten years Danish Hydraulic Institute (DHI) has together with the Institute of Hydrodynamics and Hydraulic Engineering (ISVA) of the Technical University of Denmark been...
A New Turbulence Model: The k-?-S Model
A new turbulence model, the k-?-S( turbulent kinetic energy-dissipation-Stochastic theory) model, is presented. Instead of the Boussinesq eddy viscosity concept in the k-? -E( turbulent...
Self-Accelerated Turbidity Current Prediction Based Upon Dynamic Turbulence Models
The structure of a self-accelerated turbidity current appears to be significantly better predicted by a dynamic Reynolds stress turbulence model than by one- and two- equation models....
Modeling Sediment Transport in Rectangular Ducts with a Two-Equation Model of Turbulence
The paper deals with the application of a two-equation model of turbulence to the calculation of flows in rectangular ducts. A non-linear relationship is used to link the Reynolds stresses...
Mathematical Models for Turbulent Shear Stress in Sediment-Laden Flows
Turbulent shear stress in sediment-laden flows has been examined by several investigators including H.A. Einstein and N. Chien A. Zagustin and J.C. Willis. Three derivations resulted in...
Reliability of Bank Protection Works Subject to Erosion
Sediment movement and changes of bed levels in natural rivers are non-stationary processes. The design of protection works for structures against erosion should account for the time dependency...
Transport of Grain-Water Mixture by Waves
The numerical modelling of the morphological changes of coastal regions is hampered by the multiplicity of empirical sediment transport formulae. The paper discusses the modes of transport...
A Continuum Mechanics Approach to Loose-Bed Motion
A mathematical model is presented for simulation of loose-bed motion. The physical system is separated into two regions, a bottom region and an upper region. The bottom region is representative...
Sediment Transport Model for Muddy Tidal Rivers
This paper describes the development and application of a one-dimensional mathematical model capable of simulating the changes to the cross-sections of a muddy tidal river over a time...
Mid-Scale Laboratory Tests on a Two-Dimensional Movable-Bed Sand Model
A two-dimensional physical model was used to simulate wave-induced scour in front of a concrete dike sloped at 1:4. The tests were conducted at the U.S. Army Engineers Waterways Experiment...
Lessons from Ten Years Experience in 2D Sediment Modeling
The purpose of this paper is to share some of the lessons learned from the experience of the Hydraulics Lab Estuaries Division (WESHE) in applying two-dimensional (2D) numerical models...
