Large Scale Particle Image Velocimetry for Low Velocity and Shallow Water Flows
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Large scale particle image velocimetry (LSPIV) is an extension of quantitative imaging techniques for measurements of water surface velocities using inexpensive standard video equipment. The present Technical Note describes ...
Invalidity of Preissmann Scheme for Transcritical Flow
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The Preissmann scheme, often referred to as the four-point scheme, is a bidiagonal implicit finite-difference method for solution of the de St. Venant equations. It is unconditionally stable and extremely robust, and thus ...
3D Numerical Flow Model for Fish Diversion Studies at Wanapum Dam
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A numerical flow model is developed for evaluating different fish bypass systems at the Wanapum Dam on the Columbia River, Wash. The model solves the three-dimensional, Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes equations combined with the
Numerical Simulation of Transcritical Flow in Open Channels
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The term transcritical flow denotes the existence of both subcritical and supercritical flow regimes in an open-channel system. It is similar to transonic flow in gas dynamics. Transcritical flow is encountered in many ...
Sensitivity of Conceptual and Physically Based Hydrologic Models to Temporal and Spatial Rainfall Sampling
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This study investigated the impact of temporal and spatial sampling of rainfall on runoff predictions using a physically based [System Hydrologique European (MIKE SHE)] and conceptual [hydrologic modeling system (HMS)] ...
Numerical Modeling for Fish Diversion Studies
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A 3D numerical model, validated with data from field and laboratory measurements, is applied to simulate the flow in a 7-km-long reach of the Columbia River, upstream from Wanapum Dam, Wash. As a tool for analysis and ...
