Note on the Analysis of Plunging of Density Flows
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This note is devoted to the correction of an error in a calculation contained in a classical published paper on the plunging of river flows as they enter lakes or reservoirs. The correction of the error provides a felicitous ...
Predicting Fill Time of a Gravel Extraction Site on a Reach of the Sagavanirktok River, Alaska, Using a Two-Dimensional Model
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: During summer 2017, two parallel trenches were excavated in the Sagavanirktok River (located in northern Alaska, United States) to acquire construction material for roadwork on the Dalton Highway nearby. A study to estimate ...
Role of Ponded Turbidity Currents in Reservoir Trap Efficiency
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The capacity to store water in a reservoir declines as it traps sediment. A river entering a reservoir forms a prograding delta. Coarse sediment (e.g., sand) deposits in the fluvial topset and avalanching foreset of the ...
Experiments on Reworking by Successive Unconfined Subaqueous and Subaerial Muddy Debris Flows
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Debris flows occur under water, e.g., in lakes and the ocean, as well as under air. These two types of debris flow have many similarities, but also differ in striking ways. The focus of the research reported here is on the ...
Hydraulic and Sedimentological Characterizations of a Reach on the Anaktuvuk River, Alaska
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Rivers located on the North Slope of Alaska’s Brooks Range are typically not well characterized with respect to basic hydraulic and sedimentological data. In order to obtain basic hydrosedimentological information on the ...
