A Numerical Analysis Approach to the Solution of Unsteady Flow in Open Channels
Several inherent characteristics of all current numerical simulations of the unsteady flow equations prevent total confidence in their use. Inconsistencies within the numerical procedures...
Grid Requirements for Numerical Models Containing Training Works
The numerical modeling of the rapid changes in flow variable in open channel flow systems containing training works, such as dikes, requires special attention in grid development. This...
A
A two-component turbulence model is introduced for depth-average flow calculations in shallow open-channel flows. This model treats the bed-generated turbulence as a background component,...
High-Resolution Two Dimensional Advective Transport
The paper describes a two-dimensional high-resolution scheme for advective transport that is based on a Eulerian-Lagrangian method with a flux limiter. The scheme is applied to the problem...
Numerical Prediction of the Turbulent Flow with a Free Surface for 3-Dimensional Situation
An efficient finite-difference method, the HH-SIMPLE, has been developed that is based on a new concept of hydraulic pressure with two additional equations concerning the water surface...
Far-Field Numerical Model Studies for Boston's New Secondary Treatment Plant Outfall Siting
By the late 1900s, Boston is scheduled to have built a new secondary treatment plant that combines the waste streams from two existing plant, and discharges the resulting liquid effluent...
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...
Infiltration Trenches for Urban Runoff Control
A two-dimensional finite element model has been developed to simulate the transient flow in a variably saturated porous medium for the study of infiltration trenches. Parameters such as...
UNET: A Model of Unsteady Flow Through a Full Network of Open Channels
UNET is a PC-based dynamic wave, unsteady flow model for the solution of the full network problem. The program applies a linearized implicit finite difference scheme to solve the full...
Effectiveness of Wet Detention and Retention Ponds for Improving Stormwater Quality
The most commonly used structural measures for stormwater quality management and control are retention basins, wet detention ponds, and detention with filtration ponds. This paper explores...
Glacial Basin Flow for a Power Operation Model
A power operation model was developed and used to estimate the project energy generation and reservoir level fluctuations. In order to precisely simulate the daily project operation, daily...
Real-Time Water Control Plan for a Flood Control Reservoir
A reservoir operation plan is prepared for a single-purpose flood control reservoir. Real-time precipitation data recorded at the dam is utilized to control the reservoir gate operations....
Utilization of Expert Systems for the Operation of Reservoir Systems
This paper illustrates how knowledge-based expert systems can obtain, organize, document, store, and utilize valuable complex reservoir systems experience, obtained by experienced water...
Localized Mixing for Improvement of Hydropower Releases from J. Percy Priest Reservoir
The J. Percy Priest Project, located on the Stones River near Nashville, TN, experienced low dissolved oxygen (DO) in the tailwaters during hydropower generation. Using commercially available...
Channel Changes in the Platte River, 1926?1986
The Platte has changed significantly during the last century. A meandering channel with extensive riparian vegetation growth has replaced, the once braided and unvegetated channel in some...
Flushing Flow Analysis Concepts
Many environmentally oriented groups who oppose water resources projects, have conceived various types of flow requirements to supposedly meet a variety of biological purposes in rivers....
Idealized Debris Flow in Flume with Bed Driven by a Conveyor Belt
The generalized viscoplastic fluid (GVF) model is used to derive the theoretical expressions of two-dimensional velocities and surface profile for debris flow established in a flume with...
