Effect of Barrier Beach Breaching on Harbor Dynamics and Storm Surges
This paper presents a summary of the flood insurance study, commissioned by the Federal Emergency Management Agency, to determine the 100-year flood elevation for Chatham, a seacoast town...
Cumulative Impacts Analysis on a Midwest Fluvial System
The US Army Corps of Engineers recently completed an analysis of the cumulative impacts of erosion control structures on the Platte River in Nebraska. This was done in response to concerns...
Geomorphic and Sedimentologic Evaluation of a Proposed Flood Control Project, Truckee River, Reno, Nevada
Geomorphic observations, sediment data and shear stress analyses were integrated to evaluate the potential responses of the steep, coarse grained Truckee River to a proposed flood control...
Effects of Low Drop Grade Control Structure on Bed and Bank Stability
The channel response upstream of a low drop grade control structure was documented using field investigations, analysis of the engineering properties of bank materials, and repeat cross...
Stabilization of an Alluvial Channel in an Urbanized Area
Grade stabilization structures have been used for many years to control degradation of alluvial stream in the southwest. These structures result in reducing the gradient of the stream...
The Development of a Plan of Study to Evaluate the Physical and Biological Effects of Increased Navigation Traffic on the Mississippi River
An integrity team prepared a Plan of study (POS) that represents the first comprehensive effort on the Upper Mississippi River (UMR), to identify and quantify impacts associated with commercial...
Mechanical Aspects of Intake Gates at John Hart Dam
As part of the John Hart Dam rehabilitation program completed in 1988, six new intake gates complete with guides and hydraulic operators were installed replacing the existing gates and...
Experimental Study on the Hydraulic Characteristic and Trapping Efficiency of a Vortex Tube Sediment Trap
In this paper, an expression of water extractor ratio of a vortex tube has been obtained according to the principle of energy conservation and transformation; based on the feature of sediment...
Discussion of a Three-Dimensional Hydrodynamic Model of the Upper Chesapeake and Delaware Bays
A time-varying three-dimensional (3-D) numerical model of the Upper Chesapeake and Delaware Bays has been developed to address the impact of deepening the Chesapeake and Delaware (C&D)...
Numerical Accuracies in Steady Open Channel Flow
The authors have reviewed the accuracy of the individual terms and formulations of the conservation of energy equation as used within the constraints of steady open channel flow modelling....
Momentum and Kinetic Energy Coefficient Research?Ramp Flumes
In October 1984. Reclamation Hydraulic Branch staff members investigated the operation of the A-Canal ramp at Klamath Falls, Oregon. The ramp flume was completed in 1983 as a water measurement...
Delineation of Ordinary High Water
'Ordinary high water' is used in a court of law to delineate the extent of land ownership of adjacent riparian owners on navigable rivers. The most appropriate...
Basin-Wide Stormwater Management in Pennsylvania?A Case Study of Hydrologic Performance Standards
Performance standards in the form of 'release rates' are developed using hydrologic computer models. This basin-wide approach to stormwater management considers...
Model Tests for Design of Vibration-Free Gates
Experimental results are presented of hydraulic forces acting on an underflow gate. Underflow gate is a socalled bluff body and a review of the mechanism of vibration caused by separation...
Next-Generation Local Scale Hydromet Forecasting System
Research and development work is being conducted for the National Weather Service on a new-generation flash flood monitoring and forecasting computer workstation. The workstation represents...
3-D Cavity Flow Analysis by a New Fractional Step Method Based on the Finite Element Method
This paper describes a new finite element scheme for solving the time-dependent incompressible viscous fluid flow expressed in terms of the Navier-Stokes equations. The main feature of...
Experiences With a Supercomputer
The advent of ever faster and ever larger computers is opening new areas of scientific study. Within this computational revolution, however, are real people trying to cope with the vagaries...
Three-Dimensional Model of a Stratified Estuary?St. Andrew Bay System, Florida
A three-dimensional modal is applied to a northwest Florida estuary to provide the initial insights into the circulation and flushing patterns of the system. The model, developed by the...
Microcomputer Applications in Transportation III
This proceedings consists of papers presented at the International Conference on Microcomputers in Transportation which was held on June 21-23, 1989 in San Francisco, California. They...
