Cellular Automaton Simulation of Viscous Free Surface Fluid Dynamics
It has been demonstrated elsewhere that the simple interaction of a two dimensional field of discrete particles traveling on a regular lattice yields large scale behavior closely approximating...
Performance Characteristics of Compound Weirs
A theory is outlined which helps to explain the flow over compound weir under free overfall conditions. Experiments on twelve weirs of three sets with different dimensions are shown to...
Verification of Local Modes in a Two-Dimensional Tidal Model
Based on a generalized model equation, a two-dimensional hybrid finite element model has been developed to study tidal waves of incompressible, homogeneous fluid in rotational flows. In...
An Ongoing Investigation of Residual Suspended Material Transport in Central San Francisco Bay, CA
A study of suspended material transport in San Francisco Bay, California, is presently underway by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. This paper describes preliminary numerical model and...
Model Study of Potential Debris Problems at the Proposed Diversion of Clover Fork River, Harlan, Kentucky
A study was conducted at the Waterways Experiment Station in Vicksburg, Mississippi, using a physical and a numerical model, to evaluate the entrance conditions at a proposed tunnel diversion...
Prediction Using Geostatistics and Mathematical Models
This paper discusses a new interpretation of geostatistical estimation and presents some thoughts on the meaning of probabilities in geostatistics and the role of mathematical models of...
Design of Expansions for Sub-Critical Open Channel Flow
Expansions for open channel flow at sub-critical velocity are required whenever it is necessary to reduce the velocity of flow from a structure which discharges into an erodible channel....
Borden Field Data and Multivariate Geostatistics
A large-scale field experiment on natural gradient transport of solutes in groundwater was conducted in an unconfined sand aquifer in Borden, Ontario by extensive monitoring after the...
Conditional Simulation of the Wilmington Sand-Shale Sequence, Los Angeles Basin
In shaly clastic reservoirs at a scale where vertical cross flow cannot be ignored the main source of heterogeneity is the apparent random geometry of the sand-shale sequence. That geometry...
Scale Effects at Intakes Due to Boundary Layer Growth
Boundary layer development in hydraulic models of intakes based on Froude criteria can be poorly scaled because it is viscosity dependent. The potential for scale effects can be estimated...
Self-Aerating Spillway Flow
The concept upon which most past analyses are based is that a continuum exists in aerated flow from 100 percent water, to air bubbles in water, to a water-air mixture, to an air-water...
Sediment Basin Design Using 2-D Techniques
A set of procedures for the design of sediment basins is outlined; it is based on two-dimensional hydrodynamic analyses, in contrast to conversional practice which has used only one-dimensional...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
