Abstract: Recent advancements in desktop‐computer multimedia coupled with lower prices have increased the use of this form of educational technology in engineering programs around the country. An example of a self‐paced, multimedia ...

Abstract: Flow over a sharp-crested weir can create dangerous countercurrents downstream under high tailwater conditions. A comprehensive experimental design project in open-channel hydraulics used in a senior/graduate course and ...

Abstract: Depositional deltas form in the headwaters of most reservoirs. The deltas are characterized by a developing foreset slope that eventually approaches the submerged angle of repose. Deltas extend both upstream and downstream; ...

Abstract: Hydrosuction sediment-removal systems (HSRS) remove deposited or incoming sediments from reservoirs using the energy represented by the difference between water levels upstream and downstream from a dam. HSRS are briefly ...

Abstract: The hydrodynamic flow field in streams and rivers influences many ecological processes including organism dispersal, habitat use, and resource acquisition. Understanding the linkages between hydrodynamic and ecological ...

Abstract: An acoustic Doppler velocimeter was used to characterize turbulence in two gravel bed rivers. Data were collected in unobstructed flow and compared to recent investigations. Additional data collected in the wake of emergent ...

Abstract: Accurate peak discharge estimates are important when sizing highway culverts to prevent possible flood damages and to ensure economic design. The purpose of the undertaken study was to find the most acceptable peak-disch ...
