A Microcomputer System for Processing Analog Hydrologic Data
Microcomputer software was developed to digitize, filter, and view data from analog charts of gate operation and water level before being transmitted to a mainframe computer for data base...

Survey of Computer Use in Hydraulics and Hydrology
The surveyed population consists of the 58 member firms of the Consulting Engineers Council of Colorado practicing in the area of water resources. 90 percent of these firms use computers...

Computer-Based Predictions of Atchafalaya Bay Sedimentation
The Atchafalaya River, a distributary of the Mississippi River, discharges into Atchafalaya Bay through the Lower Atchafalaya River and Wax Lake Outlet. The bay delta has grown rapidly...

Tidal Inlet Sand Transport in Rollover Pass, Texas
For Rollover Pass, which is a man-made, artificially stabilized tidal inlet located on the upper Gulf Coast of Texas, the magnitude of the net sand transport through the Pass was estimated...

Microcomputer Applications for Coastal Engineering
Microcomputer Applications for Coastal Engineering (MACE) is used to distribute software with accompanying documentation which emphasizes the advantages of microcomputers in the practice...

A General Microcomputer Approach for Evaluating Ground-Water Responses
A general impulse response function for calculating responses for stream-aquifer interaction, pumping in leaky and nonleaky artesian aquifers, and two dimensional dispersion is presented....

Reliability Evaluation of Water Distribution System Components
Reliability engineering concepts are substantially developed and have been routinely and successfully applied to the evaluation of electrical and mechanical components. However, these...

Integration of Micro, Mini, and Mainframe Computers in WES Hydraulics Studies
The U. S. Army Corps of Engineers Waterways Experiment Station (WESA) Hydraulics Laboratory is involved in hydraulic studies of navigation and flood control projects of the Army Corps...

Application of Interactive Computer Simulation to Water Resources Problems in Civil Engineering Education
The major educational advantage of interactive simulation is expedient demonstration of system management and control procedures and interrelationships among system variables. An 8 year...

A Course in Hydrology Using Microcomputer Graphics
A three-day training course in hydrology and hydrologic methods has been developed for the Federal Highway Administration using an Apple IIe microcomputer for the presentation of all visual...

Dual Drainage System Balancing Design Using Microcomputer Simulation
This paper describes the development and application of microcomputer software titled INTERHYD for design of a dual urban drainage system in Portland, Maine. The design problem consisted...

Microcomputer-Based Index Testing of Hydroturbines
A computer-assisted system for performing index test on hydroturbines is described. This system allows for more rapid and accurate index testing of hydroturbines than has previously been...

Microcomputer Control for a Small Hydroelectric Peaking Plant
Peaking plants pose a special problem for control. The new facilities are generally a very small part of a large system. Determination of the parameters necessary to run the plant to best...

Input/Output Schemes for Microconverted Engineering Application Programs
When converting mainframe programs for microcomputer use, different input/output schemes are implemented depending on the type and volume of program data and ultimate use of the program....

Numerical Waterbody Dynamics and Small Computers
The numerical hydrodynamics of free surface flows as applied to waterbodies presents a number of challenges, including choice of the spatial differencing schemes including representation...

Sedimentation of Waste Particles in Coastal Waters
Environmental effects associated with various ocean disposal practices are determined to a large extent by the fate of waste particles. The importance of coagulation on particle deposition...

Brownian Coagulation in the Initial Mixing Region of a Buoyant Plume
The paper discusses reactive systems that share the following common phenomenon: their reaction is either controlled by both kinetics and diffusion, or fully by diffusion. It reports on...

Streamflow Monitoring with Ultrasonic Recorders
In September 1983, four new streamflow monitoring sites were established in a west Chestnut Ridge catchment at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory. Ultrasonic level/flow recorders were used...

Computer-Assisted Problem Solving in Hydraulic Engineering
A number of practical hydraulic problems may be solved using software that allows interaction at the equation level rather than through higher level languages. This paper presents examples....

Aquifer Management Using Discrete Kernels in Microcomputers
An interactive simulation model based on the 'Discrete Kernel Approach' (a Green's function approach) is presented. The response functions (or the...
