Abstract: A Rankine vortex model is used as the basis for an equation for critical submergence of intakes. The equation relates critical submergence to Froude number, circulation number, Reynolds number, and Weber number. The Froude ...

Abstract: A model for simulating the flow and bed topography in a meandering alluvial channel is developed. The basis is a solution to the equations for conservation of mass and momentum and for lateral stability of the streambed. ...

Abstract: An analytical model for simulating the flow and bed topography in a meandering alluvial channel is tested with data from two field studies. One set of data is used for testing a technique which involves discretizing the ...

Abstract: There appears to be both experimental and theoretical support for the selection of a normal curve for the description of the armor-layer grain size distribution. The findings of this study indicate that if a sufficiently ...

Abstract: A simple, analytical model is proposed for the description of flow and stress characteristics in an open-channel flow with nonuniform distribution of bed-shear stress. The model describes the relationship between the ...

Abstract: TWO recently developed analytical approaches to a description of the fully developed flow and bed topography in alluvial channel bends are extended to include a description of the development of the flow and bed topography ...
