Modeling Kinetics of Sediment Removal in Water Columns
Many physical, chemical, and environmental factors govern the rate of cohesive particle sedimentation in aquatic environments. A new information-based model that uses experimental information...
Numerical Modeling of Fluid Mud Transport in Estuaries
The movement of fluid mud has been cited as the most likely cause of rapid sedimentation in channels located in muddy estuaries. A time dependent, two-dimensional laterally-averaged cohesive...
Use of HEC-2 and HEC-6 to Determine Levee Heights and Revetment Toe Scour Depths
The paper presents the use of HEC-2 and HEC-6 to determine levee heights and revetment toe scour depths. These adjustments are due to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Los Angeles District...
Discharge-Frequency Relationships in Distributary Flow Systems
The paper describes discharge-frequency relationships in distributary flow systems. The stream network that makes up the flow system is described in terms of how the various stream segments...
Historical Rainfall-Runoff Analysis Using the Antecedent Precipitation Index
A long term simulation of rainfall-runoff can be used when analyzing the potential for economic benefits or flood damages to result from changes in the watershed, for developing discharge-frequency...
Sediment Transport Analysis Rio Grande Floodway at San Marcial Gauge
A detailed analysis of sediment transport data collected on Rio Grande Floodway at San Marcial gauge shows that the all-year total load rating curve and the seasonal rating curves yield...
Temporal and Spatial Variations of Suspended Sediment Concentration during Navigation Traffic in a Natural River
Suspended sediment samples were collected within the channel border area during barge-tow passage events at three cross-sectional locations on the Upper Mississippi River. Typical plots...
Sediment Modeling in the Rio Grande Conveyance Channel
The Rio Grande Conveyance Channel and the Rio Grande Floodway convey water from the San Acacia diversion dam to Elephant Butte Reservoir. The Conveyance Channel was built in early 1950's...
Carpet Flow Analysis
Under very high flow conditions, sediment may be transported either in a suspension or by carpet flow, as defined by Bagnold. This study examines the theoretical conditions for carpet...
Non-Point Pollution Loadings and their Impacts on Tennessee Valley Reservoirs
This is a three-year study which began in March 1992. The project has focused on inflow streams entering storage projects including Douglas, Cherokee, South Holston, Watauga, Norris, Chatuge,...
Strengths and Weaknesses of Shallow Water Equations in Steep Open Channel Flow
The paper evaluates the strengths and weaknesses of shallow water equations in steep open channel flow. These equations, 1) St. Venant equations, 2) steep slope shallow water equations...
Numerical Analysis of High Velocity Flow with Zero-Depth Line and Oblique Shock Wave in Steep Open-Channels
This paper deals with the numerical analysis of 2D steady high velocity flows with the zero - depth line and the oblique shock wave in steep open channels by means of the method of characteristics....
Numerical Experiments on Instability in Unsteady Flow Modeling
The problem of numerical instability in modeling unsteady open-channel flows is investigated using the technique of numerical experiments. The model is based on the one-dimensional de...
Investigation of an Anisotropic k-? Model
In this paper the eddy viscosity hypothesis is abandoned and explicit expressions of Reynolds stress are deduced directly from the transport equations. Anisotropic k and ? equations are...
Fortification of MMOC Models for Steep-Channel Flows
The Multimode Method of Characteristics(MMOC), designed to solve unsteady flows, is a new comprehensive scheme formulated by merging several individual characteristic schemes of the specified-time-interval...
Numerical Modelling and Laboratory Verification for the Turbulent Flow Field in the Branching Channel
Adopting the depth-averaged k-? turbulence model and using the finite volume method and SIMPLE procedure, the turbulent flow field in the branching channel is numerically solved and verified...
Thermo-Hydrodynamic Modelling of the Chicago Sanitary and Ship Canal
A one-dimensional numerical model of the Chicago Sanitary and Ship Canal and Lower Des Plaines River has been developed as a tool for assessment of the waterway's thermal response to actual...
