Design and Calibration of a 200-Foot Model Irrigation Border with a Computer Controlled Infiltrating Bed
A physical model of an irrigation border was constructed using a 200 ft long by 2. 5 ft wide tilting flume with a 3. 5 inch deep infiltrating gravel bed. The border was partitioned into...
Tidal Modelling on IBM Microcomputers
The finite element code, QUIET, for the simulation of two-dimensional shallow water flow has been adapted from its mainframe form for use on the IBM PC, PC/XT, or AT. The model uses of...
The Matched Artificial Dispersivity Method
The paper presents a class of models that are well-suited for microcomputing and that are based on what may be called the 'Matched Aritifical Dispersivity' method....
Quick Stroking: A Fast and Accurate Algorithm for Time-Optimal Valve Closure Synthesis
In this paper, a fast, simple, yet effective technique for valve motion synthesis is developed. This technique called Quick Stroking is applied to a practical example problem, and it may...
Microcomputer Graphics Flood Stationarity Test
Only records that correspond with present river conditions should be used with flood frequency analysis when forecasting. A microcomputer test is discussed which aids in selecting appropriate...
SWRRB.80: A Basin Scale Model for Microcomputers
The SWRRB (Simulator for Water Resources on Rural Basins) model was developed by the USDA Agricultural Research Service to simulate the daily stream flow, and sediment loads from agricultural...
Flood Peak Program for Urbanizing Semi-Arid Areas
This paper describes a microcomputer program for flood peak determination based on a highly modified version of the Rational method developed by M. E. Zeller, which employs the Soil Conservation...
A Microcomputer Based Real-Time Flood Warning System
A microcomputer based real-time flood warning system is being developed as an event monitoring and early warning system for local areas. The system consists of a micro computer based central...
Data Acquisition and Control for Hydraulic Models
The Waterways Experiment Station is expanding the use of computer controlled data acquisition and control equipment on a variety of hydraulic models. These systems are presently being...
Near Real-Time Climatic Data in Illinois
The need for making real-time climatic data available for use was recognized in Illinois, and a concerted effort began in 1983 to develop a system for collecting and disseminating near...
