Linearized Tidal Friction in Uniform Channels
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Existing models of tidal motion in narrow, uniform channels are improved by incorporating a spatial application of Lorentz' principle of equivalent work into the characteristic velocity and tidal friction factor estimates ...
Hydraulics of Rectangular Clarifiers
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A simple model of the steady, two‐dimensional water flow through rectangular clarifiers is derived in the absence of wind and stratification. The water flow, or “hydraulics,” consists of steady velocity and turbulence ...
Approximate Dynamic Lake Phosphorus Budget Models
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Impoundments or natural lakes having short hydraulic detention times may become eutrophic through anthropogenic nutrient loading episodes. Subsequent lake recovery may be influenced by nutrient transport from the lake ...
Sediment Diffusion in Primary Shallow Rectangular Clarifiers
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The steady, diffusive transport of discretely settling, single‐sized solids through a primary, shallow, rectangular clarifier is modeled in this study. The analysis proceeds in the assumed absence of fluid stratification, ...
Reduced Road Salt Spillage Owing to Indoor Delivery and Loading
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The authors analyze runoff and road salt delivery and loading data from an indoor salt storage facility in eastern Massachusetts over multiple deicing seasons. The facility converted its delivery/loading from outdoors to ...
Fate and Transport of Combined Residual Chlorine in Small Stream
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Concentration profiles of combined residual chlorine (CRC) are measured in a small stream just below a municipal wastewater outfall. Loss of CRC is found to be due primarily to volatilization. Vertical and longitudinal ...
Case Study of Steady Oxygen Concentration Gradients in a Groundwater Plume from a Highway Infiltration Basin
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: We measure and model the steady transport of specific conductivity and dissolved oxygen through a groundwater plume from a highway infiltration basin in southeastern Massachusetts. Specific conductivity is treated as a ...
Steady Groundwater Transport of Highway Deicing Agent Constituents from an Infiltration Basin
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The highway deicing agent groundwater plume from an infiltration basin in the Plymouth-Carver Aquifer near State Route 25 in southeastern Massachusetts is modeled and measured in order to assess the impact of the basin on ...
Calibrated Models of Deicing Agent Solids, Pavement Texture, and Specific Conductivity of Highway Runoff
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Field data and existing theory suggest that pavement texture governs the seasonal persistence of deicing agent solids and the storm scale variability of the specific conductivity of highway runoff. We measured precipitation, ...
