The Urbanization of the Salt River Project
The Salt River Project (SRP) is one of the nation's oldest and most successful agricultural reclamation projects. Formed in 1902, its initial function was to manage the surface...
Aids for the Hazard Classification of Small Dams
The last few years have seen a large growth in the tools available to the engineer to better determine the risk of failure in earth dams. One of the models developed is the National Weather...
Parking Lot Drainage Design: Gainesville, Florida
The construction of a 10-acre (4. 05 ha) parking facility (1,000-car capacity) at the University of Florida during 1984 presented the potential for increasing downstream flooding and for...
Modeling Cohesive Sediment-Pollutant Interaction in Surface Waters
Particulate and dissolved pollutant transport rates are predicted using a pollutant transport modeling system. The latter is a finite element model capable of simulating two-dimensional...
On the Definition of Fluid Mud
Fluid mud is a near-bed, high density cohesive sediment suspension layer which is a common cause of estuarial and nearshore sedimentation. It is noted that for a given sediment-fluid mixture,...
Imbrication of Tabular Boulders
Analysis of moments on tabular boulders projecting into a uniform stream indicates that a tabular boulder dipping downstream is unstable and can be overturned by velocities expected during...
Simulation of Sediment Transport in Coastal Water
The sediment-contaminant transport code, FETRA, coupled with the hydrodynamic model, CAFE-I; and the wave refraction model, L03D; were applied to Pacific coastal water. The FETRA model...
An Analytical Approach to Cohesive Sediment Transport
Simulation of mud transport processes is adequately achieved by using the unsteady advection-diffusion equation along with the appropriate source and sink terms. The effects of selective...
Suspended Material Transport at New Bedford, MA
Evaluation of suspended material migration was a task in a study of sediment-associated contaminant migration. New Bedford Harbor is a vertically well-mixed, shallow estuary with little...
Numerical Model Evaluation of Advance Maintenance
Improving and maintaining navigation harbors and channels is one of the key functions of the US Army Corps of Engineers. The present cost-sharing system and the increasing costs associated...
Numerical Evaluation of Training Structures
A technique to evaluate estuarine training structure performance in reducing localized maintenance dredging requirements using the US Army Corps of Engineers TABS-2 numerical modeling...
Preliminary Engineering Design of an Artificial Tidal Lagoon System in Kuwait
A coastal resort project was planned for a 30 hectare site along the Arabian Gulf approximately 69 km south of Kuwait City at Dubaiyeh. The master plan, originally developed by Kuwait...
Sedimentation of Summit North Marina Connected to C&D Canal
Possible sedimentation problems at the proposed site of the Summit North Marina were investigated and reported. This brief paper summarizes the detailed results given in the report. The...
Lower Mississippi River Salt Intrusion Modeling
A laterally averaged numerical model called LAEM has been employed for both a 40- and 55-ft channel. In addition, LAEM has been applied with an increased height of the natural river crossing...
Carichar?Mobile Bed Modeling with Graded Sediments
CARICHAR is a new system used for the computation of sediment transport. The coupled calculation of both water and graded sediments transport allows the simulation of sorting and armoring...
Management of Water Distribution System Components
The purpose of this study is to 1) analyze main break failures and 2) incorporate other drinking water distribution system components into a data base management structure for reliability...
GLVHT Model Verification using Field Data
The Generalized, Longitudinal-Vertical Hydrodynamic and Transport model (GLVHT) as developed for the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers Waterways Experiment Station and described in Buchak...
Scour Downstream of High Level Emergency Spillways
The Corps of Engineers has numerous high level emergency spillways (HLES) including some that have the potential for excessive scour downstream during certain flow events. 'Excessive...
The Development of Test Cases for Hydrodynamic and Transport Models
This paper reviews the test cases employed by several investigators in the development of two- and three-dimensional finite difference and finite element hydrodynamic and transport models....
A Semianalytical Method for Solving Unsteady Flow Equations
This paper proposes a method that uses conjunctively the Laplace transform for continuous time and finite element for spatial discretization to solve unsteady flow equations. Laplace transforms...
