Water Quality Management During Low-Flow Periods: A Systems Analysis Approach
Water quality objectives may require water managers to consider deviations from original project purposes to provide downstream water quality maintenance during low-flow periods. The decision...
Meeting Environmental Commitments at Power Plants Using Real-Time Reservoir Scheduling
This paper describes two different real-time modeling systems that determine if scheduled hydro releases will affect meeting environmental commitments. The modeling system for John Sevier...
The Los Vaqueros Model: A Microcomputer-Based Reservoir Planning System
This paper describes the development and application of a set of microcomputer models for the evaluation of a complex water resources project. The Los Vaqueros Model includes components...
Biological Methods Petroleum Hydrocarbons Cleanup
Cleanup of the ground water and soils from hydrocarbon spills has mainly focused on air stripping and activated carbon for ground-water treatment, and vapor extraction and excavation followed...
The State of Art of Physical Modelling of Sediment Transport
The paper attempts formula some ideas about the state of the art in the field of physical modelling of sediment transport processes. Up to now the physics of sediment transport are not...
The State of the Art in Sediment Transport Modelling
The physical understanding and mathematical modelling of the water and sediment motion in rivers, estuaries and coastal waters have made much progress in recent years by various research...
Total Sediment Transport and Its Physical and Mathematical Modeling
Some main results in the field of sediment transport theories obtained by the author are presented. Based on these theories, the methods of physical and mathematical modeling for total...
Bed Waves Generated by Internal Waves in Alluvial Channels
The flow in an alluvial channel is conceived as a stratified flow both with respect to the velocity- and density-distribution. In such flows internal waves may occur which influence the...
A Tracer-Model for Morphological Simulations of an Estuary
Numerical models for longterm morphological simulations are traditionally based on assumptions like vertical integration of the flow and transport equations and their decoupled treatment....
On the Numerical Simulation of Suspended Sediment Transport in Estuaries
Estuarine fine sediment transport is governed by a wide range of hydrological, chemical and biological parameters including baroclinic circulation, tidal pumping, resuspension, deposition,...
Storms and the Occurrence of a Turbidity Interface/Maxima in a Fresh Water Estuary
A combination of Landsat, field data and modeling analyses reveals a turbidity interface/maxima in the lower reaches of a freshwater tributary or 'estuary.' Mode...
Modeling of Contaminant Transport in Rivers with Emphasis on the Interaction with Movable Boundaries
The transport of dissolved and absorbed pollutants is simulated by a one-dimensional convection-diffusion model which particularly accounts for the exchange processes at the river bed...
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...
A Method to Treat Incident Wave Condition in Shallow Water Equation
A method to consider open boundary condition of the shallow water equation to analyze water surface wave and tide is employed in the finite element anaysis. This can be done by considering...
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...
Channel Entrenchment Along the Post Creek Cutoff in Southern Illinois
The Post Creek Cutoff was constructed in 1915 by the Cache River Drainage Commission to divert flow from the Upper Cache River to the Ohio River. The construction of the cutoff reduced...
Wave?Current Interaction and Sediment Transport
The paper reports on a study into whether a close relationship between the mixing (diffusion) coefficient for the sediment, ?s, and the mixing (diffusion)...
Using Sediment-Threshold Theories in Waves and Currents
Fundamentally different threshold-of-motion theories were applied to sand transport in two different coastal environments. Several recommendations for threshold application were reached....
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...
