Segregation of Sediment During Deposition
A laboratory experiment was conducted to investigate the segregation of sediment during deposition. Sediment eroded from an upslope source area of Blount silt loam was introduced to a...
Numerical Model Analysis of Sedimentation Problems at Lock and Dam 1, Red River Waterway
This paper addresses the numerical modeling techniques used to identify the conditions and parameters affecting sediment deposition at Lock and Dam 1. Two-dimensional finite element models...
Analysis of Storm Event Suspended Sediment Data From Tennessee
In order to provide an understanding of transport patterns, historical suspended sediment data collected by TVA in the late 1930s were computerized and entered onto WATSTORE. Frequent...
Dimensional Analyses of Yellow River Sediment Data
A contemporaneous set of bed load and suspended load sediment transport data were analysed for three hydrologic stations on the Yellow River. There were a total of 82 bed load events,...
Sedimentation of Lakes and Reservoirs in Illinois
A generalized analysis of lake sedimentation rates in Illinois provides a representative 'window' on sedimentation rates of midwestern lakes located in humid...
Mississippi River Sediment Load and Regime Equations
Data collected by the Corps of Engineers were used to evaluate the interaction of such parameters as river slope, suspended sediment load, channel geometry, and river discharge. Calculations...
An Analysis of Channel Stability of the Red River from Shreveport, Louisiana to Index, Arkansas
To analyze the stability of the Red River in the study reach (Shreveport, LA to Index, AR) two comprehensive hydrographic surveys were studied. The hydrographic surveys were compared to...
Effects of Reservoir Regulation on Channel Morphology
A case study is presented in which such a multidisciplinary approach was used to evaluate the impacts of regulated outflows from the recently completed Warm Springs Dam Project (Sonoma...
Two-Dimensional Groundwater Transport Subgrids in a 3-D Flow Model
The USGS Modular 3-D Finite Difference Ground-Water Flow Model by McDonald and Harbaugh (MODULAR) simulates ground-water flow in three dimensions by breaking the modeled region into several...
On the Selection of Sediment Transport Equations
Existing sediment transport relationships have been calibrated under a certain range of experimental conditions which can be described by the dimensionless grain size, the mobility number,...
Computational Modeling of Sediment Transport in Kachemak Bay
The tide-generated flow circulation in the Kachemak Bay of Alaska was simulated numerically using the Multi-Leveled Finite Element Model originally developed by Kawahara of Japan and recently...
Depleted Uranium Migration in Stream Bedload Environment
The objective of this paper is to present results of a comprehensive hydrologic transport study, designed to assess potential surface water contamination, resulting from the release of...
Loss of Aquatic Habitat in Quincy Bay
Quincy Bay is a backwater area along the upper Mississippi River near Quincy, Illinois. The construction in 1969 of a small boat access channel about 3. 2 km upstream of the natural bay...
Stream Width Adjustment to Upstream Loading
Channel width adjustments takes place either by fluvial erosion or accretion of the banks, or by their mass failure under gravity and subsequent removal of the slump debris. Simulation...
PC MODEL BRESSED for Stochastic Prediction of Reservoir Sedimentation
A stochastic flow-storage/sediment-deposition model was written in BASIC with userfriendly features. It is an augmented version of the FORTRAN program RESSED (REServoir SEDimentation)...
Lagrangian Modeling of a Suspended-Sediment Pulse
The one-dimensional Lagrangian Transport Model (LTM) has been applied in a quasi two-dimensional manner to simulate the transport of a slug injection of microbeads in steady experimental...
Settling Tank Model for Deposition in a Tidal Lagoon
A model is developed to assess deposition of suspended sediment in Great Sound, New Jersey. The model employs the classic settling tank concept which utilizes plug flow hydrodynamics,...
Sediment Routing and Stream Bed Evolution Model
A one-dimensional numerical model developed by Borah, Alonso and Prasad is discussed, improved and tested. The model named STREAM routes graded sediments and simulates aggradation, degradation...
Riverine 2D Random Walk Transport Model
A random walk transport model was developed to avoid the amplitude and phase errors inherent in finite difference models. A three-point probability distribution was used for the random...
Hydraulic Investigation of the Cache River Basin
To develop a comprehensive solution to the problems that exist in the basin, the Illinois State Water Survey has initiated a hydraulic study. This ongoing research includes collection...
