A Numerical Solution Technique for Incompressible Flow
Presented is a numerical solution technique which employs the explicit predictor-corrector scheme of R.W. MacCormack in solving the governing two-dimensional equations of motion on a staggered...
An Error Analysis of the Dynamic Wave Model
The Dynamic Wave Operational Model (DWOPER) is used to forecast river stages on the Lower Columbia River. DWOPER was developed by the National Weather Service's Hydrologic...
Partial Area, Variable Source, Rainfall Runoff Model Utilizing Digital Mapping
A partial area, variable source hydrologic rainfall/runoff model, called MAPHYD, was developed utilizing digital maps, interactive computer graphics, and several infiltration mechanisms....
Two-Dimensional River Modeling of Buckhorn Creek
A two-dimensional Finite Element Surface Water Modeling System (FESWMS-2DH) was used to simulate flow at a bridge crossing of a heavily vegetated flood plain where State Highway 130 crosses...
Earthmoving in the Lunar Environment
This paper analyzes the lunar 'earthmoving' process with inputs, outputs, and external conditions acting upon it. Lunar environmental conditions such as temperature,...
A Methodology for Modeling Construction Requirements for a Manned Lunar Base
Before accurate modeling and planning of a manned lunar base can be accomplished, a methodology representing the construction-and-assembly process of lunar surface facilities must be developed....
Animation/Simulation for Construction Planning
The importance of a highly efficient schedule for space construction cannot be overestimated. A detailed scheduling process working closely with design data could reduce costs, minimize...
Simulator for Telerobotic Assembly, Maintenance and Repair of Large Space Structures
A first approximation level computer simulator for telerobotic assembly of large space structures is described. Approach, methodology and initial results are presented. An example based...
The Planar Truss - An Active Control Test Bed
The authors have developed a laboratory planar truss and structural dynamic models which correlate well. The inherent fraction critical damping (? = .004 for the first mode) is very low...
A Visual Approach for Space Systems Designers
This paper discusses computerized tools that may be used by designers as they approach problem solving related to engineering, construction and operations in space. Tools for space system...
Berm Breakwaters
Unconventional Rubble-Mound Breakwaters
This book presents a state-of-the-art review of the design, analysis, hydraulic model testing, and prototype experience of a new class of coastal structures that produce economical designs...
Affordable CADD
In the past few years many civil engineers have become aware of the advantages of CADD systems. However, CADD systems were originally prohibitively expensive for all but the largest offices....
Simulation of Long Period Ground Motions for a Large New Madrid Earthquake
Ground motions for a large New Madrid earthquake are simulated to provide response spectra in the period range of 0.5-20 seconds for hard rock sites at Chicago and Atlanta. The ground...
Model-Prototype Correlation of Hydraulic Structures
Forty-three papers are contained in these proceedings, from the International Symposium on Model-Prototype Correlation of Hydraulic Structures. The papers cover a broad range of subjects...
Hydraulic Engineering
The papers in this book were presented at the National Conference on Hydraulic Engineering, August, 1988, Colorado Springs, Colorado. The objective of this conference was to provide a...
Computing on the Run
Portable computers enable engineers to manage projects right at the job site. In addition to this mobility and flexibility, they make it possible for a small firm to automate inexpensively....
New Clarifiers Help Save History
By using clarifiers to upgrade a waste treatment plant, Camp Dresser & McKee were able to utilize the available space so that an historic building existing within the plant could...
Structural Scale Models: Beyond the Computer
The authors build balsa wood structural scale models to supplement their 3D CADD designs because, for complex framing systems or sites with access problems, the models help clients and...
Implementing a State PMS
Arizona State Pavement Management System (PMS) is described in this paper. Experience shows that many factors must be considered in deciding how to maintain a particular mile of the road...
Traffic and Safety Research Payoffs
