An Evaluation of Drainage Conditions in the San Joaquin Valley
The discovery of deformities and deaths of aquatic birds at Kesterson Reservoir in 1983 substantially altered the perception of agricultural subsurface drainage water threats in the San...
An Extended Relaxation Technique for Unsteady Flows in Networks
A recent enhancement to the FLD WAY model is the addition of an extended relaxation technique for modeling unsteady flows in a dendritic (tree-type) network of channels with tributaries...
Pier Width and Local-Scour Depth
Presented here are the results of an enquiry into the effects of pier width on local scour depth. The results show that scour depth does not scale linearly with pier width unless there...
An LPI Numerical Implicit Solution for Unsteady Mixed-Flow Simulation
A Local Partial Inertia (LPI) technique is developed as an option within the National Weather Service (NWS) FLDWAV dynamic flood routing model to enhance its capability to model unsteady...
Potential Flow Instability Theory and Bed Forms
An extended, generalised version of two-dimensional linearised potential flow theory of fully unsteady fluid flow-sediment bed interaction is presented. In contrast to previous potential...
Dynamic vs. Quasi-Static Effluent Limits
Selenium water quality objectives are currently being exceeded in the San Joaquin River, California due to agricultural subsurface drainage discharges. The Federal Clean Water Act requires...
Results of Field Evaluations of the New Modular Inclined Fish Diversion Screen
The Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) has developed and biologically evaluated a new type of fish diversion screen known as the Modular Inclined Screen (MIS). The MIS is designed...
Rethinking Well Efficiency
Many authors have suggested ways to evaluate water well efficiency. Most of these have either compared some form of measured drawdown with theoretical drawdown or measured the fraction...
Estimation of Bed Material Transport Capacity
A procedure is presented which combines several computational components for the estimation of bed material transport capacity in alluvial channels. Bed load transport is estimated through...
Experimental Uncertainty and Measurement Errors in Hydraulic Engineering
The Task Committee on Experimental Uncertainty and Measurement Errors was formed to provide information and guidance on current practices used for describing and quantifying measurement...
A Method to Study Suspended Sediment Induced Flow Characteristics Changes
Sediment-laden turbulent flows occur in nature and through man-made hydraulic structures. Our current understanding of this two-phase flow phenomenon is incomplete, and many important...
Determination of Bridge Scour Velocity in an Estuary
Determination of the appropriate design for protection against bridge pier scour depends significantly upon the design velocities at the project site. In estuaries with large influences...
Modeling Unsteady Open-Channel Flows Having Longitudinally Varied Fluid Density
Unsteady flows in waterways with fluid density varying longitudinally can be described by various sets of partial differential equations, according to conditions of density variation....
Eddy Pump Dredging Demonstration at Cresta Reservoir
A demonstration test of a new environmentally ifiendly slurry dredging technology using the EDDY Pump, a patented vortex slurry pump, was perfbrmed in 1994 at Cresta Reservoir in northern...
A Progress Report on the Large Block Test
Scoping Analysis of
The Effect of Saturation on the Mechanical Properties of Tuff at Yucca Mountain
Uniaxial Compression Behavior of Small Blocks of Welded Tuff
Temporal Development of Local Scour at Bridge Piers
The temporal development of local scour depth at circular cylindrical bridge piers is considered. New data are presented and used to quantify the influence of flow duration on the depth...
Two-Dimensional Modeling of River Dynamics for the Expansion of Clover Island, Kennewick, Washington
The Port of Kennewick, Washington, is proposing to redevelop Clover Island as a waterfront village concept. The island is located in the Columbia River between McNary and Priest Rapids...
