Abstract: A study on the hydraulic and sediment conditions at the Tacoma Narrows Bridge, in Washington State, was carried out to examine the stability of the bed material around the bridge caissons. Specifically, this was conducted ...

Abstract: A field study was conducted to determine the effects of a channel transition on turbulence characteristics. Detailed three-dimensional (3D) flow measurements were collected at a cross section that is located downstream of ...

Abstract: An integrated model for computing the height variation of the mudline and sediment-suspension interfaces of a slurry exhibiting zone settling behavior is proposed. The model accounts for the dynamic interaction of the two ...

Abstract: A field study was conducted to examine the turbulent properties of the flow around a naturally formed cluster bedform. This was carried out on a mountain river using a 3D acoustic Doppler velocimeter (ADV). Concurrent with ...

Abstract: This paper presents the results of an exploratory study on the hydraulics of a fish bypass-pool that is built to facilitate successful fish passage through an irrigation diversion channel. The hydraulic performance of the ...

Abstract: The present study examines the flow around a self-occurring cluster bed form and the use of general computation fluid dynamics methods for hydraulic and geophysical flow applications. This is accomplished through a ...

Abstract: An advanced image analysis system, called Khoros, was used to investigate the bed load movement of sediment particles in a laboratory flume. Incipient flow conditions prevailed throughout the experiments. Painted glass ...

Abstract: Past research in environmental hydraulics has established the consideration that small- and large-scale turbulent eddy structures correspond to fast and slow fluctuations within a velocity time series measured at a fixed ...
