Numerical Waterbody Dynamics and Small Computers
The numerical hydrodynamics of free surface flows as applied to waterbodies presents a number of challenges, including choice of the spatial differencing schemes including representation...

Sedimentation of Waste Particles in Coastal Waters
Environmental effects associated with various ocean disposal practices are determined to a large extent by the fate of waste particles. The importance of coagulation on particle deposition...

Brownian Coagulation in the Initial Mixing Region of a Buoyant Plume
The paper discusses reactive systems that share the following common phenomenon: their reaction is either controlled by both kinetics and diffusion, or fully by diffusion. It reports on...

Yakima Remote Control System: Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition
The Yakima Remote Control System is a computerized supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) system developed for the operation of the Bureau of Reclamation's Yakima Project in...

Response of Floating Structures in a Directional Sea
A finite element numerical model is presented to predict the behavior of long floating structures in a multi-directional sea. A follow up numerical model analyzes an important but mostly...

Streamflow Monitoring with Ultrasonic Recorders
In September 1983, four new streamflow monitoring sites were established in a west Chestnut Ridge catchment at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory. Ultrasonic level/flow recorders were used...

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....

Vortices at Vertical Intakes
This paper presents the results of an experimental investigation designed to predict the formation of weak, free-surface vortices at vertical intakes with a headrace channel. A weak vortex...

Aquifer Management Using Discrete Kernels in Microcomputers
An interactive simulation model based on the 'Discrete Kernel Approach' (a Green's function approach) is presented. The response functions (or the...

Applications of the Spreadsheet Multiplan and Equation Solver TK!Solver in Civil Engineering Education
General characteristics of the MULTIPLAN spreadsheet and the TK! SOLVER equation solver are discussed. Subjects covered include capabilities, rules and techniques for developing models,...

Teaching Civil Engineering Using Spreadsheets
The use of microcomputers is becoming more and more prevalent in both large and small design offices as their cost continues to decrease, as their capabilities increase, and as more software...

Applications of Electronic Spreadsheets to Hydrologic and Hydraulic Computations
The application of electronic spreadsheets on micro-computers in solving routine hydrologic and hydraulic computations is suggested. In this paper, the Lotus 1-2-3 electronic spreadsheet...

Data Acquisition in USACRREL'S Flume Facility
A computerized data acquisition system has been developed that is based on a Hewlett-Packard 9845B desktop computer. The system allows determination of highly accurate water temperatures,...

Microcomputer Program for Daily Weather Simulation
Extensive climatic data have been collected by the National Weather Service and other agencies, and are available in printed form or on magnetic tapes. The published data are expensive...

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...

SCS User-Defined Storm Hydrograph (SCS-USH)
The Soil Conservation Service User-Defined Storm Hydrograph (SCS-USH) has been developed to provide engineers and regulatory officials with a simple microcomputer tool for defining design...

A Low-Cost, Microcomputer-Based Field Data Acquisition System
This paper discusses the selection and development of a micro-computer-based data acquisition system used for collecting aquifer test data. Primary components of the data collection system...

Microprocessor-Based Data Acquisition Systems
The application of microprocessor-based data acquisition systems to laboratory experiments and field tests is discussed. The importance of the system design and hardware selection is emphasized....

Analytic Solution for Seepage from Saturated Soil Behind a Braced Wall
The locations of streamlines and equipotentials for two-dimensional flow in the vertical plane normal to a vertical retaining wall can be determined by various methods. Recent extension...
