Analyses of Sediment Transport Data by Microcomputer Software
The MINITAB statistical software project has been popularly used on mainframe computers since 1972. In June 1984, a subset of the program was made available for the IBM-PC microcomputer;...

Personal Computers and Water Network Simulation
The advent of the 16 bit or larger personal computer has the potential for significantly increasing the availability of a powerful tool for hydraulics engineers. In the past, the understanding...

Water Distribution Systems Analysis and Graphics Using Microcomputers
In recent years, microcomputers have been increasingly employed in the analysis of water distribution systems. In addition to being used for hydraulic analysis, they can also be used to...

Computer-Assisted Problem Solving in Hydraulic Engineering
A number of practical hydraulic problems may be solved using software that allows interaction at the equation level rather than through higher level languages. This paper presents examples....

Water Supply Intake Structures on Western Rivers
Many of the problems experienced with water supply intake structures on western rivers result from a failure to mitigate the effects of moving sediments. Shallow but varying flow depths...

Use of a Spreadsheet in a Water Distribution System Analysis
Spreadsheet programs such as MULTIPLAN can be used for many, if not most, of the small design oriented problems for which programs using high level programming languages such as FORTRAN,...

Microcomputer Applications in Flood Management
Historically Salt Lake City has been subject to flooding from spring snow melt runoffs. Even though the volume and the rate of runoffs were similar during both years, the 1984 runoff created...

Automation of a River Model
The U. S. Army Engineer Waterways Experiment Station (WES) has used physical models to study sedimentation problems since 1931. With the recent advent of new technology, it was realized...

Three-Dimensional Simulation of Flow, Salinity, Sediment, and Radionuclide Movements in the Hudson River Estuary
The three-dimensional, finite difference model FLESCOT was applied to a 106-km reach of the Hudson River estuary in New York between Chelsea and the mouth of the river. It predicted the...

Applications of Discrete-Element Computational Models to Transient, Multi-Dimensional Problems in Hydrology
The direct computer simulation technique, discrete-element method (DEM) was applied in the development of transient, multi-dimensional mathematical models for simulating hydrologic conditions...

Hydraulic Study Requirements for Bulb Type Hydropower Units at a Navigation Lock and Dam
A replacement Lock and Dam at Alton, Illinois on the Mississippi River is presently under construction. This paper presents the results of studies performed for adding six bulb type hydropower...

Unique Utilization of a Physical Model to Develop a Construction Sequence of a Major Cofferdam
Lock and Dam 26 Replacement is being constructed on the Mississippi River about 2 miles downstream of the existing Locks and Dam No. 26 at Alton, Illinois. This paper discusses the unique...

A Microcomputer Program for River Sedimentation
Erosion and deposition of sediment in rivers causes numerous problems. In order to describe this process, both the hydraulic properties of the river and the mechanics of sediment transport...

Secondary Circulation Data Acquisition System
A computerized field data collection system was developed for a project investigating secondary circulation in natural rivers. The instrumentation includes a Commodore mini-computer with...

The Micro vs. Mainframe in Hydrologic Modeling and Forecasting
This paper describes and compares the performance, application, and suitability of a microcomputer as host for the large-scale hydrologic model called SSARR. The SSARR Model is currently...

Water System Analysis?Modeling Hydraulics
The work described in this paper is part of the planning and design effort for expanding and improving the water supply system for St. John the Baptist Parish, Louisiana. The parish is...

Finite Element Analysis of Recirculating Flows
The primitive variable and stream-function-vorticity forms of depth averaged viscous fluid flow equations are compared via finite element computations on problems with the same meshes...

Series Finished Water Pumping Facilities
The paper discusses studies and design of series finished water pumping facilities for the Potomac River Water Treatment Facilities. Detailed hydraulic studies were conducted which concluded...

Quick Stroking: A Fast and Accurate Algorithm for Time-Optimal Valve Closure Synthesis
In this paper, a fast, simple, yet effective technique for valve motion synthesis is developed. This technique called Quick Stroking is applied to a practical example problem, and it may...

Microcomputer Graphics Flood Stationarity Test
Only records that correspond with present river conditions should be used with flood frequency analysis when forecasting. A microcomputer test is discussed which aids in selecting appropriate...
