A comprehensive data set representing September 1983 conditions on the Chesapeake Bay has been assembled and is proposed as a possible data set for inclusion in the work of the ASCE Task...
3-D Hydrodynamic Model Verification Using ADCPS
A physically comprehensive, hydrodynamic model of the East River has been used for a continuous three year simulation. As part of the calibration process, detailed vertical profiles of...
Prescribed Solution Forcing Method for Model Verification
This paper describes a method for verifying the consistency and order of accuracy of a numerical implementation of a pde-model. We present an example of its application to a 3D hydrodynamic...
Verification of Clark County Hydrologic Modeling
The Clark County Regional Flood Control District, which includes the Las Vegas, Nevada metropolitan area, has recently adopted hydrologic criteria which are intended to standardize the...
A Fluorescence Technique to Measure Concentration Gradients near an Interface
A new fluorescence technique which measures the concentration profile in a mass transfer boundary layer is described. It uses a tracer whose fluorescent intensity is inversely proportional...
Measurement of Reaeration Coefficient with the Soluble Solids Probe
The results of analytical and experimental studies are presented, showing that the proposed method for indirect determination of gas transfer coefficients at gas-liquid interfaces, based...
A Rapid Post-Earthquake Damage Detection Method for Underground Lifelines
The present paper discusses a methodology for rapid, post-earthquake damage detection for underground lifeline systems. The methodology integrates model verification and system vulnerability...
A New Amplitude-Modulating Function and its Statistical Parameters for Seismic Ground Motion Simulation
This paper presents a new energy-based amplitude-modulating function and its statistics-based parameters for earthquake ground motion simulation. This function overcomes the main shortcomings...
Fatigue Reliability of Components Containing Microstructural Flaws
A probabilistic crack growth model is presented in which the different stages of crack growth including the small crack regime are taken into account. The microstructural parameter determining...
Space Station Freedom Requirements for Structural Safety, Reliability and Verification
The Space Station Freedom (SSF) is a large, manned vehicle that will be designed to remain in Space for 30 years. The SSF Program has established extensive safety, reliability and verification...
Incremental Assembly Stage Concepts for Space Station Freedom: Structural Design and Verification
The design and development of the U.S./International Space Station Freedom poses extreme technical and management challenges to the NASA/industry team. A comprehensive system engineering...
Investigation of Burnup Credit Allowance in the Criticality Safety Evaluation of Spent Fuel Casks
The payloads of present generation spent fuel casks are constrained by a criticality design basis that assumes loading with unirradiated fuel. This presentation discusses work in progress...
The Chesapeake Bay Hydraulic Model: Construction, Operation and Verification
This paper discusses significant aspects of the construction, operation, verification and testing at the Chesapeake Bay Hydraulic Model which was operational from May 1976 to August 1984....
Summary Report: Evaluation Criteria for Watershed Models
After an extensive literature review, the Task Committee recommends that, in addition to graphical plots, modelers use three simple goodness-of-fit criteria for evaluating continuous hydrograph...
