HEC-6 Modeling of Sediment Management in Loíza Reservoir, Puerto Rico
Tide- and Wind-Driven Flushing of Boston Harbor, Massachusetts
The flushing of Boston Harbor, a shallow, tidally dominated embayment with little fresh water input, is investigated using a depth-averaged model. The modeled tidal currents exhibit strong...
Design, Construction, and Performance of a Baffled Breakwater
The Spud Point Marina breakwater is located within Bodega Harbor, a protected embayment on the northern California coast. Waves are attenuated by baffle panels hung between support piles....
Flushing Characteristics for Harbor Planning
A two-dimensional hydrodynamics model was used to understand the circulation and transport patterns in Keelung Harbor, Taiwan. The calculated hydrodynamics information was used to determine...
Dynamic Flushing of Pocket Marinas
The expanding demand for marina space combined with just concerns for the coastal environment has developed an urgent need for methods for evaluation of the flushing characteristics of...
Marina Flushing Along a Structurally Controlled Canal
Evaluation of flushing characteristics of a proposed marina located along a structurally controlled navigable canal is reported. This canal is operated to maintain the water level of Lake...
Sediment Transport Due to Channel Flushing
Blocking of rivers and canals by sediment due to landslides or dumping of waste create problems of upstream flooding and drainage. Experiments are carried out in the present study on flushing...
Application of Hydraulic and Sediment Transport Principles in the Design of Tidal Exchange Structures
This paper presents a procedure for the analysis and design of tidal exchange structures, such as tidal gates and training dikes. In lieu of over generalized theories or complicated modeling...
Hydraulic Design Aspects of the Boston Outfall
The diffuser outfall under design for Boston must have the ability to be purged of seawater upon commissioning or following an accidental flow stoppage. The criteria governing the flushing...
Flushing Flow Analysis Concepts
Many environmentally oriented groups who oppose water resources projects, have conceived various types of flow requirements to supposedly meet a variety of biological purposes in rivers....
Adjustment of Mountain Stream Channels to Flow Regime Alteration, Preliminary Analysis
One aspect of instream flow regimes being actively debated is the need for channel maintenance of flushing flows. However, little quantitative information exists as to how different types...
Simulation and Video Animation of Canal Flushing Created by a Tide Gate
A tide-gate algorithm was added to a one-dimensional unsteady flow model that was calibrated, verified, and used to determine the locations of as many as five tide gates that would maximize...
Sediment Flushing Experiences at Cherry Creek Dam
An overview of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Omaha District's experiences in sediment flushing operations at Cherry Creek Reservoir near Denver, Colorado is presented....
Subsidence Control by High Volume Grouting
Mine grouting programs generally fall into two general methods: flushing and grout columns. With the flushing method, the entire mine under the area to be protected is filled. Grout columns...
Marina Flushing and Sedimentation
The paper discusses a one-dimensional circulation model for the marina. Tides are modeled as long waves and are assumed to be much longer than the marina. This circulation model is coupled...
A Proposed Desilting Reservoir System in Taiwan
The paper discusses the design of a desilting system for Nanhwa reservoir, in which the reservoir is divided into two bays; water flows into the forebay for sedimentation and then over...
Physical Habitat Simulation and the Moveable Bed
One objective of an instream flow analysis is to quantify a flow that will maintain the existing channel and/or flush fine material from the bed. Five empirical approaches to determine...
Application of Phosphorus Models to New Mexico Reservoirs
Many empirical, mass-balance phosphorus models have been developed and tested on northern, temperature lakes and previously published. Fourteen of those published models were tested on...
