Description and Evaluation of Program: DUFLOW
DUFLOW is a micro-computer software package for simulating one-dimensional unsteady flow in open channel systems. It is designed for simple networks of channels with simple structures....
Description and Evaluation of Program: USM
USM was developed by the USBR for simulating unsteady flow conditions in canals with either manual or automatic gate operation. This paper describes the model and discusses the relative...
Description and Evaluation of Program: CARIMA
The CARIMA code simulates unsteady free-surface flow in simple or multiply connected systems of rivers or canals. The simulation uses the Preissmann implicit finite-difference method for...
A Study of a Flood Control Levee Swamp System
In an attempt to reconstruct the events of the more than 100-year 1987 New Year's Eve storm that occurred on Oahu, Hawaii, an analysis of a complicated overland flow phenomenon...
Modelling Automatic Upstream Control with SIMCAR
The model SIMCAR solves the gradually varied unsteady flow in a branched canal network with upstream control, with particular attention given to the simulation of the AMIL radial gates....
Field Application of Transient and Steady-State Canal Models in Thailand
A transient (unsteady) flow model for simulating the hydraulics in irrigation canal networks was developed and tested in Thailand. A steady-state hydraulic model was subsequently developed...
Future Needs for Unsteady Flow Canal Models
The ASCE task committee on 'Irrigation Canal System Hydraulic Modeling' examined a number of the computer programs available for simulating unsteady open-channel...
The NPUSM (Narmada) Model for Modeling Canal Flows
The NPUSM computer program was developed for the analysis of unsteady flows in canals with various types of canal structures to evaluate the Narmada Canal system in Gujarat, India. The...
SRFR?A Model of Surface Irrigation?Version 20
The computer program, SRFR, comprises a mathematical model of flow in furrows, basins, and borders. It is designed for systematic, repeated application in the solution of design and management...
Two-Dimensional Analysis of Furrow Infiltration
A general applicable two-dimensional unsaturated-saturated model for transient soil-water flow conditions in heteogeneous soils was developed. The water flow model was applied to simulate...
Optimization of Furrow Infiltration Parameters from Advance Times and Advance Rates
Optimal design and management of surface irrigation systems requires detailed knowledge of field-wide infiltration. Evaluating infiltration parameters is difficult due to temporal and...
Flexible Supply Schedule Missing Link for Effective Surface Irrigation and Automation
Surface irrigation methods - furrow and border-strip are generally thought of as being inefficient and labor intensive. Careful evaluations have shown that as methods they can be very...
Evaluating Probability Measures Related to Subsurface Flow and Transport: Overview of Technical Considerations and Modeling Philosophy
Probabilistic modeling approaches are being used increasingly in order to carry out quantified risk analysis and to evaluate the uncertainty existing in subsurface flow and transport analyses....
Predicting Incipient Fluidization of Fine Sands in Unbounded Domains
Fluidization systems in the coastal environment consist of a water pumping system and a source pipe buried in or near a tidal inlet to maintain a channel or to aid in sand bypassing. If...
Sensitivity Analysis of a Ground-Water-Flow Model
A sensitivity analysis was performed on 18 hydrological factors affecting steady-state groundwater flow in the Upper Floridan aquifer near Albany, southwestern Georgia. Computations were...
Measurement and Analysis of Hydraulic Conductivity Variability of a Heterogeneous Aquifer
The spatial variability of hydraulic conductivity of a shallow alluvial aquifer was investigated using borehole flowmeter measurements. The study was conducted at the site of a large-scale...
An Energy Approach to the Analysis of Partially-Saturated Flow
When fluid passes into or out of an aquifer, work is done at the boundaries which is partly used to change the internal energy of the system and partly to overcome resistance to flow....
Simulation of Leachate Discharge from a Small Island into a Tidal Bay
A small island in a tidal bay was considered as a potential site for depositing large volumes of excavation material from a transportation project. The island is located in the inner part...
Slug Test: Double-Porosity, Linear Boundary, and Variable Storage Effects
The intention of this paper is to focus on three aspects of the slug test that are not as familiar as the main analysis techniques: the effects of double-porosity formations, the effects...
Prematurely Terminated Slug Tests?A Field Application
Slug tests suffer problems of non-uniqueness to a greater extent than other well tests. Alternatively, a prematurely terminated slug test (PTST) or a systematized drillstem test is proposed,...
