Impacts of Climate Change in the Missouri River Basin
The Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) is being used as a base model to simulate the Missouri River basin for prediction of the impacts of climate change on water resources in the region....
Flood Damage Estimates Using GIS Spatial Analysis
The catastrophic flooding in the midwest during the Summer of 1993 and in California in the Spring of 1995 resulted in flood damage estimates in the hundreds of millions to billions of...
Water Balance of the Niger Basin
A map-based method is used to construct a monthly water balance model of the 2.3 million km Niger River basin in West Africa. The watersheds and stream network within the basin are derived...
Preliminary Validation of the MAC3D Numerical Flow Model
MAC3D is a recently developed numerical model for three-dimensional incompressible flow. Model predictions are compared with physical test data for a curved open channel and a multi-level...
A Finite Element Analysis of Mach Reflection by Using the Boussinesq Equation
The numerical analysis of Mach reflection, which is the reflection of an obliquely incident solitary wave by a vertical wail, is presented in this paper. For the mathematical model in...
3D Flow Structures?From Laboratory to Field Applications
One laboratory experiment and one field application have been modeled. For each one different sources of errors in the model results could be detected. It may be concluded that the applicability...
Accuracy of a 3D Hydrodynamic Model Verification due to the Relative Magnitude of Forcing Functions
An investigation of relative magnitude of forcing functions in a 3D time-varying hydrodynamic model verification has been performed by identifying some extreme forcing events for an estuarine...
Verification of a 3D Flow Model Using Laboratory Data
The ASCE Task Sub-Committee on 3D Free Surface Flow Model Veri fications has been developing test cases and/or procedures for both computational model developers and users over the past...
Simulation of Dissolved Oxygen in Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta
A one-dimensional model has been developed to simulate water quality in a complex multi-channel estuarine system. The model utilizes a Lagrangian reference frame for transport computations....
Predicting THM Formation with Artificial Neural Networks
An existing mathematical model to predict trihalomethane formation and speciation was enhanced through the use of artificial neural network technology. The model corresponded well with...
