Second Log-Wake Law from Pipe Symmetry and its Applications in Symmetric and Antisymmetric Channel Flows
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The velocity distribution of turbulent pipe flow is often described by the Coles log-wake law that is a superposition of the law of the wall due to the wall shear stress and the law of the wake due to the free turbulence ...
Application of General Unit Hydrograph Model for Baseflow Separation from Rainfall and Streamflow Data
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Baseflow separation from rainfall and streamflow data is a fundamental problem in applied hydrology, unsolved despite extensive investigations. For example, a part of baseflow is interflow, which results from rainfall ...
General Unit Hydrograph from Chow’s Linear Theory of Hydrologic Systems and Its Applications
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: This research solves Chow’s linear hydrologic systems equations thoroughly to result in a theoretical instantaneous unit hydrograph (UH), which is a superposition of many (M) negative exponential functions. This implies ...
General and Analytic Unit Hydrograph and Its Applications
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Unit hydrograph (UH) is widely used for predictions of flood hydrograph from a known storm. Its concept and theory are simple and straightforward, but its practical applications are cumbersome because it is discrete and ...
Design Hydrographs in Small Watersheds from General Unit Hydrograph Model and NRCS-NOAA Rainfall Distributions
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: It is time to shift our paradigm of small watershed design from a graphic (or tabular) to a theoretical method, because (1) the recent general unit hydrograph (UH) model can convert a design hyetograph to a design ...
Exact Procedure for Einstein–Johnson’s Sidewall Correction in Open Channel Flow
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
General Mean Velocity Distribution Law for Smooth-Wall Plane Couette Flow
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Plane Couette flow between two parallel smooth walls is one of the classic wall-bounded shear flows. Analytical description of this flow is still limited to the linear law for laminar flow, the classic law of the wall, and ...
Exact Solution for Depth of Impact Crater into Granular Bed
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: When a sphere impacts a granular bed such as a sand bed, the penetration depth is often determined by empirical scaling laws or numerical simulations. This paper uses a unified force law for granular impact cratering to ...
Discussion of “Mechanism of Energy Transportation and Turbulent Flow in a 3D Channel” by Shu-Qing Yang and Siow-Yong Lim
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Empirical Model for Shields Diagram and Its Applications
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The Shields diagram is a classic method for quantifying sand incipient motion in sediment transport. It is often expressed by empirical or semiempirical equations. This research applies the Padé approximant to the data in ...
