Hydrostatic versus Nonhydrostatic Euler-Equation Modeling of Nonlinear Internal Waves
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Basin-scale internal waves are inherently nonhydrostatic; however, they are frequently resolved features in three-dimensional hydrostatic lake and coastal ocean models. Comparison of hydrostatic and nonhydrostatic formulations ...
Impact of Drainage on Green Roof Evapotranspiration
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Parking Deck’s First Flush
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The goals of storm-water management have shifted from a flood control to a holistic and sustainable strategy, emphasizing the relationship between rainfall event size and pollutant loadings. The first flush concept is the ...
Fines Accumulation and Distribution in a Storm-Water Rain Garden Nine Years Postconstruction
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Storm water control measures (SCMs), also known as best management practices (BMPs), such as rain gardens, are designed to infiltrate storm-water runoff and reduce pollutant transport to surface waters. The life span of ...
Evapotranspiration from a Green-Roof Storm-Water Control Measure
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The ability to estimate the components of the hydrologic cycle is the key to the proper design and implementation of storm-water control measures (SCMs). Reuse, infiltration, and evapotranspiration (ET) are used by SCMs ...
Field-Scale Analysis of a Stormwater Infiltration Trench’s Failure Mechanisms
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Infiltration trenches are one type of stormwater control measure (SCM) that can help fulfill stormwater management requirements, especially in highly urban areas where open space is limited. Underground infiltration trenches ...
