Abstract: This study focused on the mixing of a solute, assumed to be conservative, introduced to one arm of an afterbay reservoir, between Keswick and Shasta Dams on the Sacramento River near Redding, California. Rhodamine water ...

Abstract: Time series of wave, mean current, tidal stage, and wind data collected at Perdido Key, Fla. are analyzed to assess the influence of a large, dredged, microtidal inlet with sizeable shoals on the surrounding wave conditions. ...

Abstract: A study of beach nourishment viability was performed to determine the relationship between selected wave and beach characteristics and project performance. Laboratory tests of idealized beach nourishment projects were ...

Abstract: A methodology is presented for predicting the impacts of nearshore dredging on shoreline change, using numerical models for waves, currents, and shoreline change. The dredge pit, outside of the surf zone, was assumed to ...

Abstract: Field data from Perdido Key, Florida, describing the response of an evolving beach nourishment project and the causative forces are analyzed in terms of sediment-transport rates and gradients. Numerical models for planform ...

Abstract: Sedimentation in the main pool of a deep (maximum depth:

Abstract: Field and laboratory tests of a shipborne hydrographic survey system were conducted. The system consists of two 12-channel GPS receivers (one onboard, one fixed on shore), a digital acoustic fathometer, and a digital ...

Abstract: After Hurricane Emily struck the Outer Banks of North Carolina in August 1993, approximately 50 homeowners in the towns of Avon, Buxton, Frisco, and Hatteras, N.C., elected to superelevate their houses to reduce the future ...

Abstract: A series of three-dimensional laboratory experiments on beach nourishment behavior are described and analyzed. The experiments were designed to isolate the influences of berm height, beachfill median grain size, wave height, ...

Abstract: A method is presented for minimization of water-level fluctuations in an open channel controlled by pumping stations at both ends. The situation is posed as a variational problem to determine the optimum upstream flow ...
