Particle Dynamics and Bed Level Adjustments in a Mountain Stream
The focus of the study was the interaction of coarse bedload sheets with a near-static bed. At a critical discharge bed sediment was transported from upstream sources through the study...
Turbulent Velocities in a Mountain River
A weighted, electronic Pitot tube was deployed in the swift, boulder-bed Waiho river during a 46 m3/s flow and a 214 m3/s...
Hydraulics and Sediment Transport Processes in a Pool-Riffle Rocky Mountain Stream
Sediment transport processes related to varying channel-bed morphology were investigated from April to November, 1993 along a 1 km pool-riffle and step-pool reach of North Saint Vrain...
On Habitat Simulation in Mountain Rivers
Mountain rivers are quite different from other rivers and one of the characteristics that distinguish them from others is the large variation in velocities with time, with location in...
Coarse Sediment Transport and the Maintenance of Fish Habitat in the Upper Colorado River
An analysis of the relation between discharge and boundary shear stress is presented for an alluvial reach of the Colorado River near Grand Junction, CO. The analysis indicates that the...
Palaeohydraulic reconstruction of floods in upland UK bedrock streams: progress, problems and prospects
Palaeoflood evidence from five small upland Pennine catchments in the UK is used with the HEC-2 flow routine to simulate Holocene peak discharges. Even allowing for uncertainty, sensitivity...
Streamflow Related to Channel Geometry in Northern New England
Channel geometry measurements can be used to estimate various streamflow characteristics at ungaged stream locations. Channel cross section dimensions and sediment size distributions were...
Relation Between Largest Known Flood Discharge and Elevation in Montana
Previous studies relating unit discharge to elevation indicated that large floods in the Rocky Mountains may be limited by elevation. However, high-elevation data are sparse in Montana...
Historic-Flood Evaluation and Research Needs in Mountainous Areas
An evaluation of historic flood estimates in mountainous areas in Colorado was made to assess their accuracy. The purpose of this evaluation is to enhance awareness of the need to assess...
Numerical Model Verification on Tidal Current in Tokyo Bay
Results of a research project to verify the Multiple Level Model for a tidal current analysis in Tokyo Bay are presented in this paper. This study is a part of the subject for the Task...
San Francisco Bay Test Case for 3-D Model Verification
This paper describes a field test case for 3-D hydrodynamic model verification using data from Carquinez Strait in San Francisco Bay, California. It will be disseminated by the ASCE Computational...
Ambrose, R. B.
Numerous three-dimensional hydrodynamic models have been developed in the last two decades. The developers of each model have used their own methods to verify the codes before applying...
PSF-PM Verification of 3D Free Surface Flow Models
This paper reports an application of the Prescribed Solution Forcing (PSF) and Physical Modeling (PM) to the development of a systematic procedure for the verification of three-dimensional...
Identification of A Field Data Collection Program in Delaware Bay
Verification and the subsequent application of a numerical model requires sufficient field data to demonstrate that the model is reproducing the existing hydrodynamics of the modeled system....
3D model verification for a groyne and harbor experiment
A discussion of 3D model verification and calibration based on measurements in a flume is carried out for different test cases (groyne, harbor). The measurement data is available for public...
3D Free Surface Flow Model Verification - A Panel Discussion on Test Cases
This paper is to briefly present the objectives and approaches of the Panel Discussion on test cases to be developed for 3d free surface flow model verifications, so that professionals...
Analysis of Selected Prototype Wave and Runup Data
An investigation of wave runup using video camera technology at Duck, N.C. is discussed. Results are provided from a subset of the runup experiment and wave runup level probability density...
Estimation of Design Surge Heights by Utilizing Meteorologic and Oceanographic Data
Data on cyclonic storm surge height have been generated with the help of a statistical simulation model. Data on observed maximum cyclonic wind speed and the length of the continental...
Analysis of Sand Movement on Noto Coast by Geochemical Method
The analysis of sand samples by X - ray fluorescent spectroscopy (abbreviated by XRF) gives the ratio of the geochemical elements to construct the sand samples. This shows the geochemical...
Velocity Control Rings for RC Pipe on Steep Slopes
