Estimating Transverse Mixing in Open Channels due to Secondary Current-Induced Shear Dispersion
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: For transverse mixing problems in open channels, the effect of secondary currents on a tracer cloud is to disperse and mix the tracer in three dimensions more rapidly than would be the case if transverse turbulent diffusion ...
Effect of Friction on Spurious Oscillations in Open Channel Modeling with Variable Bathymetry or Roughness
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Numerical issues for the friction-dominated steady-state Saint-Venant equations with a shock-capturing upwind finite-element scheme are studied using nonuniform-flow test cases and Fourier analysis. The friction-dominated ...
Dynamic Model for Subcritical Combining Flows in Channel Junctions
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A one-dimensional theoretical model for subcritical flows in combining open channel junctions is developed. Typical examples of these junctions are encountered in urban water treatment plants, irrigation and drainage canals, ...
Estimating the Hyporheic Depth Beneath a Pool-Riffle Bedform Using the Rankine Body Analytical Method
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The hyporheic zone connects groundwater and surface water allowing active exchange of water and solute, and thus plays a vital role in many hydrological and ecological processes. Many sophisticated high-dimensional models ...
Air Movement Induced by Water Flow with a Hydraulic Jump in Changing Slope Pipes
