Hydraulic Design of Large-Diameter Pipes
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The Hazen–Williams formula is frequently used for the design of large-diameter pipes, without regard for its limited range of applicability. This practice can have very detrimental effects on pipe design, and could potentially ...
k-ε Turbulence Modeling of Density Currents Developing Two Dimensionally on a Slope
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Dense underflows developing two dimensionally on a slope are simulated numerically. The
Closed-Conduit Bed-Form Initiation and Development
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Nonintrusive measurement of closed-conduit erodible-bed development was undertaken for 12 experiments of ranges of flow strengths and sediment (solids) sizes. Analogous to open-channel flows, wavelets on the sediment bed ...
Unsteady Bed Shear Stresses Induced by Navigation: Laboratory Observations
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Time-dependent bed shear stresses induced by the passage of a barge tow have been measured with hot film shear stress sensors in a 1:25 scale model. Conditions typical of those observed for Upper Mississippi River navigation ...
