Modeling Groundwater Contaminant by Unstructured FVM
This study focuses on the numerical solution of the integral form of transport equation on unstructured grids. The algorithm is developed in direct finite volume concept and constructed...

Delineating Subsurface Contamination Using Geostatistical and Non-Intrusive Geophysical Methodologies
Electromagnetic (EM) conductivity surveys are becoming a more practiced technique in screening for contamination of soil and groundwater. This non-intrusive geophysical approach detects...

Selection of the Form of Calculated Flood Hydrograph in Projecting Water Release Facilities
Traditionally, in evaluating hydraulic structures, river flood runoff hydrographs are determined by maximum flood water volume and discharge, duration of the flood and some other parameters,...

Biodegradation Modeling of a Closed Landfill Site
The two-dimensional model, BIOPLUME II, was applied to the closed Becker County Landfill at Detroit township, Minnesota, to study the transport of hydrocarbons occurring at the site. The...

Runoff Forecasting Using a Local Approximation Method
Forecasting of hydrological events, particularly floods, is an important topic of concern for hydrologists. Flood hazards can be prevented or their effects minimized if prior warning of...

The DOD Groundwater Modeling System: A Conceptual Model Approach
A suite of new simulation tools have been developed in the version 2.0 of the Department of Defense Groundwater Modeling System (GMS). These add considerable complexity to the GMS which...

A DEM Based Hydrologic and Sediment Transport Model
A DEM-based, physically-distributed model was developed for simulating event runoff and erosion on an agricultural watershed. Runoff was described using the diffusion equation with flow...

Automated Tools for Spatially Distributed Rainfall/Runoff Modeling
A watershed modeling system (WMS) has been developed to address the needs of surface water rainfall/runoff computer simulations. WMS, developed at the Engineering Computer Graphics Laboratory...

Distributed Hydrologic Modeling of Humid Regions
Distributed physically-based hydrologic modeling of humid watersheds with shallow soils is complicated by non-Hortonian runoff production mechanisms. This paper presents a numerical experimental...

A Finite Element Analysis of Mach Reflection by Using the Boussinesq Equation
The numerical analysis of Mach reflection, which is the reflection of an obliquely incident solitary wave by a vertical wail, is presented in this paper. For the mathematical model in...

3D Flow Structures?From Laboratory to Field Applications
One laboratory experiment and one field application have been modeled. For each one different sources of errors in the model results could be detected. It may be concluded that the applicability...

The Management Improvement Program: A Model to Improve the Performance of Irrigated Agriculture
In 1991, the USDA-Agricultural Research Service U. S. Water Conservation Laboratory (USWCL) and a coalition of federal, state, and county agencies initiated a project to develop and test...

Integrated Resources Management for Irrigated Agriculture: Practical Lessons in Water Management and Conservation from the Arizona Management Improvement Program
In Arizona, the interagency Management Improvement Program (MIP) is an effective water resources planning method where a large number of people and several levels of agencies or government...

Two Dimensional Modeling of the Mobile River Delta and the Mobile Bay System
Two dimensional hydraulic modeling of Mobile Bay and the Mobile River Delta was conducted to determine critical hydraulic conditions for scour evaluations at bridges in the Mobile Bay...

A Hydrodynamic FVM Algorithm on Arbitrary Grids
This paper presents a finite volume algorithm for the vertically averaged integral form of the hydrodynamic governing equations on an unstructured grid system. The algorithm is applicable...

The Use of an Equivalent Porosity Method to Model Flow in Marshes
Two dimensional modeling of marshes under unsteady flow conditions often involves description of sections that alternately wet and dry. The equivalent porosity method (King and Roig, 1988;...

Adhesion Kinetics of Fuel Oil #6 and Oil-in-Water Emulsions on Marine Sediments under Turbulent Mixing Conditions
Oil spilled in the marine environment is subject to a great variety of physical, chemical and biological processes, which determine its ultimate fate in the aquatic environment. Many of...

Tensioned Fabric Structures
A Practical Introduction
The objective of this publication is to provide basic information about the nature and characteristics of tensioned fabric structures. Its target audience includes architects, engineers,...

Recasting a Foundry (Available only in Structures Special Issue)
Even as the Philadelphia Naval Shipyard sails toward closure under the 1991 Base Realignment and Closure Law, work at the base foundry has accelerated since the 1980s. The foundry uses...

Worldwide Advances in Structural Concrete and Masonry
This proceedings contains the papers presented at the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) Committee on Concrete and Masonry Structures (CCMS) Symposium on Worldwide Advances in...
