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...
Implications of Deep Ocean Modelling on Coastal Sedimentation Prediction
The Harvard University Ocean Predictive Descriptive System is reviewed and recent results of mesoscale ocean prediction are presented for the Northeast Pacific and Gulf Stream Ring Stream...
Suspended Sediment Regression Model on Mud Coasts
Two statistical models of the concentration of suspended sediment on mud coasts have been developed by using the stepwise regression method. The statistical analysis in this paper is based...
River Training Works in Gezhouba Project on the Yangtze
A great number of research results of the river regime planning and river training work in Gezhouba Project on the Yangtze are described together with their application in the Project....
Bullwinkle
The 1989 Outstanding Civil Engineering Achievement is an offshore oil production platform named Bullwinkle, a structure in the Gulf of Mexico that is taller than the Sears Tower, shaped...
Sorting of Mixed Sand on a Two-Dimensional Beach
A numerical method is developed to predict temporal variations of the sea bed topography and the bed-material composition. The predicted results are compared with the measurements in a...
Bank Protection at the Middle and Lower Yangtze
The Middle and Lower Yangtze runs through alluvial plains about 1800 km. There are mainly three types of river reaches: straight-slightly sinuous, meandering, and braided. This paper outlines...
Effects of Runoff Changes and Sea Level Rise on Salinity in the Delaware River Estuary
The objective of this study is to investigate changes in the spatial distribution of salt in the Delaware Estuary resulting from climate induced changes in freshwater inflows and in the...
Retention of the First Inch of Runoff in Coastal Areas
More and more state agencies are requiring development to retain the first inch of runoff from impervious coverage and release this runoff only through evaporation and/or infiltration....
Optimal Interpolation of Bathymetry in the Thyrrehnian Sea
The bathymetry of the Tyrrhenian Sea in the area facing the electro-nuclear plant being built at Montalto di Castro, Italy, is reconstructed with the aid of the constrained kriging making...
Hydraulic Design Aspects of the Boston Outfall
The diffuser outfall under design for Boston must have the ability to be purged of seawater upon commissioning or following an accidental flow stoppage. The criteria governing the flushing...
Elements of a Coastal Stormwater Drainage System
Several elements in the design of a stormwater drainage system that outfalls to the ocean are discussed. The paper discusses a study conducted of the Ocean Lakes Watershed near Myrtle...
Evaluation of TR-55 on Coastal Watersheds
Results of a study of the applicability of TR-55 to coastal watersheds are presented. Historical data were used to evaluate curve number, time of concentration and unit hydrograph peak...
China's Ertan Hydroelectric Project
Ertan will be a major hydroelectric project on the Yalong River in China. The project consists of a 240 m high arch dam, two tunnel spillways, an overflow spillway, mid- and low-level...
