Southwest Pass Training Structure Alternatives
The U.S. Army Engineer Waterways Experiment Station system of computer programs, TABS-2, was utilized to evaluate various structural plans for increasing channel velocities and sediment...
Vessel Induced Physical Effects in a Navigation Channel
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is investigating ways to improve lockage efficiency at the Marmet Locks on the Kanawha River, West Virginia. A physical effects prediction model have been...
Prediction of Siltation at a Point
This paper describes a zero-dimensional mathematical model which predicts siltation at a point on a cohesive sediment bed. The processes of erosion, deposition and consolidation are modelled...
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...
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...
Design Procedures for Soil-Cement Grade-Control Structures
Grade-control structures are effective channel-stabilization measures that may be used singly or as a part of a stabilization plan involving such measures as bed and bank revetment. Grade-control...
Design and Performance of Diversion Gates at Peace Canyon Dam
During construction of Peace Canyon Dam, river diversion was accomplished using a combination of cofferdams and temporary diversion conduits through the partially completed dam. Inlet...
