Abstract: The ways in which rivers adjust their hydraulic roughness to accommodate only loosely correlated changes in their water and sediment discharges are discussed. An assessment of the current status of river engineering leads ...

Abstract: This biography of Garbis H. Keulegan (1890‐1989), a leading figure in hydraulics and fluid mechanics for more than half a century, recounts his early years in Armenia; immigration to the United States; education; military ...

Abstract: In the vast literature on sediment transport, rivers, and related topics, few if any names are more frequently cited than Albert F. Shields (1908–1974). Yet all of these citations are to a single publication: his doctoral ...

Abstract: As many researchers in engineering research organizations do not engage extensively in engineering practice, in the sense of routine involvement in design and operation activities, they may become out of touch with the ...

Abstract: An equation for the exponent in the power‐law velocity distribution is formulated by relating the rate of energy dissipation due to turbulent shear of the sediment bed‐layer to the increased rate of fluid‐shear energy ...

Abstract: It is shown, theoretically and by a physical model, that short, vertical, submerged vanes installed at incidence to the channel axis in the outer half of a river‐bend channel significantly reduce the secondary currents and ...

Abstract: Nonlinear multiple‐regression analysis is used to derive relations among the velocity, sediment discharge, bed‐form geometry, and friction factor of alluvial rivers. A data base comprising 339 river flows and 608 flume ...

Abstract: The circulating water‐pump intake at Iowa Power's Council Bluffs Power Station Unit 3, located along the left concave bank of the Missouri River near Council Bluffs, Iowa, has suffered from chronic fine‐sand shoaling ...

Abstract: A nonuniform, fixed‐boundary, channel‐bend flow is formulated as two coupled sets of equations, each comprising two simultaneous equations, derived from the cross‐section‐integrated equations (in circular cylindrical ...
