Example of the Stable Channel Design Approach
This paper shows an example application of a new method being packaged by the US Army Engineer Waterways Experiment Station to aid in the design of stable flood-control channels. A stable...

Stable Channel Analytical Design Method
The Flood-Control Channels Research Program is being conducted at the US Army Engineer Waterways Experiment Station to develop systematic methods for design of stable channels for small...

Channel Network Analysis Using Simultaneous Solution Algorithm
In this paper, a simultaneous solution algorithm for one dimensional unsteady flow routing through channel networks is introduced. This direct solution algorithm is based on the double...

Stability Criteria for Revetments
A simplified 'black box' approach is presented for a number of revetment systems for banks and shore protection. The design criteria, based on the physical similarity...

The Influence of Uniformity on Riprap Stability
Studies have shown that size uniformity influences the stability of riprap. The ratio of fractional sizes of the riprap mixture, D₆₀/D₁₀,...

Riprap Stability Results from Large Test Channel
Velocity data from a large test channel were used to determine the distribution of depth-averaged velocity and shear stress on the side slope of both straight and curved channels. From...

Physical Modelling of Self Forming Alluvial Channels
A method is presented for the determination of a practicable physical model of self-forming channels in cohesionless alluvium. Both sand bed and gravel bed regime channels are considered....

In this article the prototype observations and design analyses are described regarding the flood release-induced vibrations of the Qianshui thin-arch dam and its foundation; and their...

Conservation Properties of Flow Simulation Models
The fundamental equations of fluid mechanics and hydraulics posses certain integral properties which should be maintained by their discrete analogs. In this paper the conservation properties...

The Method of Lines Solution of Unsteady Open Channel Flow Equations Along Characteristics
The method of characteristics (MOC) has long been considered as a natural procedure for solving transient flow problems. In this paper, by using the concept of the method of lines, the...

Comparison of Correction Factor for Dispersion Coefficient Based on Entropy and Logarithmic Velocity Profiles
Recently, new velocity distribution equations have been developed by Chiu (1987, 1989) through the use of maximum entropy principle. A comparison will be made of the correction factor...

Computational Open-Channel Hydraulics for Movable-Bed Problems
As a major branch of computational hydraulics, notable advances have been made in numerical modeling of unsteady open-channel flow since the beginning of the computer age. According to...

Pressure and Stress Distributions Due to a Submerged Impinging Jet
This investigation examines the pressure and shear stress distribution at a smooth planar boundary in the impingement region of a submerged vertical jet in water. The mean pressure and...

The Effect of Aeration on Scour
A vertical water jet was used to study the effects of entrained air, tailwater depth, size of bed material, jet diameter, and jet velocity on scour. Small amounts of entrained air were...

A Multimode Scheme of Characteristic Method for Open Channel Flows
This paper deals with the stability and accuracy of a multimode scheme, based on the method of characteristics, for unsteady one-dimensional open-channels flows. This scheme combines three...

Hermite-Galerkin Model for Dam-Break Floods
A model based on the finite element method using cubic Hermite basis functions and Galerkin weighting was formulated to solve the partial differential equations that govern unsteady one-dimensional...

Flow Field Near an Inland Navigation Tow
As a vessel moves through a body of water, disturbances are created in the form of altered water levels such as waves or drawdown and altered flow fields such as increased velocities and...

Prototype Measurements of Flows Induced by Navigation Tows
Present projections of growth of commerical navigation traffic indicate that annual tonnage per tow and/or number of tows will continue to increase through the foreseeable future. In order...

Secondary-Flow Correction for Depth-Averaged Numerical Models
An empirical equation is proposed for the production and transport of secondary (streamwise) vorticity induced by lateral curvature in shallow water. The streamwise vorticity creates a...
