Flow Field Upstream of an Orifice under Fixed Bed and Equilibrium Scour Conditions
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Flow behavior upstream of a circular orifice with the invert at the bed level (initially) is investigated under fixed bed and equilibrium scour (mobile bed) conditions. The experiments are performed under three different ...
Impact of New Rainfall Patterns on Detention Pond Design
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A new set of dimensionless rainfall hyetographs has been developed for the state of South Carolina. The new hyetographs show trends similar to those developed recently in other states and in general have milder intensities ...
Dimensionless Rainfall Patterns for South Carolina
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This note presents methodologies for developing dimensionless design rainfall patterns for the state of South Carolina based on the real rainfall events as an alternative to the presently used Soil Conservation Service ...
Simulating Hurricane Storm Surge in the Lower Mississippi River under Varying Flow Conditions
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Hurricanes in southeastern Louisiana develop significant surges within the lower Mississippi River. Storms with strong sustained easterly winds push water into shallow Breton Sound, overtop the river’s east bank south of ...
