Hydraulics of Embankment Weirs
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Embankment weirs, often found in engineering applications with a side slope 1V:2H, are considered in this paper. For free overflow, the discharge coefficient is determined in terms of relative crest length for long ...
Depth Inversion in the Surf Zone with Inclusion of Wave Nonlinearity Using Video-Derived Celerity
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A process is described for computation of bathymetry in and near the surf zone, from spatially varying celerity and breakpoint location data. The procedure involves the use of three submodels: (1) a wave shoaling model ...
Hurricane Katrina Storm Surge Reconnaissance
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Hurricane Katrina (August 23–30, 2005) was one of the costliest and deadliest hurricanes to ever strike the United States, impacting low-lying coastal plains particularly vulnerable to storm surge flooding. Maximum storm ...
