Abstract: A numerical method is developed for carrying out unsteady Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes (URANS) simulations and detached-eddy simulations (DESs) in complex 3D geometries. The method is applied to simulate incompressible ...

Abstract: The relicensing of nonfederal hydropower projects and the mandated reevaluation of federal water projects require policy makers to balance the human use of water with instream releases for environmental values. To meet the ...

Abstract: Aeration was measured and modeled at 28 navigation dams in the upper Ohio River basin. Dissolved oxygen (DO) deficits upstream and downstream of the dams, water temperatures, and flow rates were measured under a variety ...
