Nondimensional Expression of Unsteady Canal Flow
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: By appropriate choice of reference variables, dimensionless governing equations and initial and boundary conditions of unsteady canal flow have fewer independent parameters that do their dimensioned counterparts; the same ...
Grain-Scale Nonequilibrium Sediment-Transport Model for Unsteady Flow
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A one-dimensional (1D) finite-volume model is developed for simulating nonequilibrium sediment transport in unsteady flow. The governing equations are the 1D mass and momentum conservation equations for sediment-laden flow ...
Two-Dimensional Basin Flow with Irregular Bottom Configuration
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Two-dimensional flow from a point or line source is simulated in an irrigated basin with a nonlevel soil surface; the goal is to predict the distribution uniformity of infiltrated depths. The zero-inertia approximation to ...
Simulation of Unsteady Flow and Soil Erosion in Irrigation Furrows
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This study developed a one-dimensional numerical model for the simulation of unsteady flow and the resultant soil erosion in irrigation furrows. The model solves a modified version of the Saint-Venant equations that consider ...
Field Properties in Surface Irrigation Management and Design
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Field properties—topography, hydraulic resistance, and infiltration—play an important role in the performance of surface irrigation systems, and appropriate characterizations of these are required as data input to simulation ...
Shape Factors for Elements of the Infiltration Profile in Surface Irrigation: Generic Approach
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Advanced mathematical models of surface irrigation use the equations of motion applied to a series of cells comprising the surface stream and an infiltration profile. In the simulation, a mass balance must be preserved ...
Estimation of Soil and Crop Hydraulic Properties
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Some two dozen methods for estimating infiltration and roughness parameters from field measurements of test irrigations are reviewed in this paper. They differ in their assumptions, ease of analysis, quantity of field data ...
Nonuniform and Unsteady Solute Transport in Furrow Irrigation. II: Description of Field Experiments and Calibration of Infiltration and Roughness Coefficients
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Field tests were conducted to obtain irrigation evaluation and solute transport data. The data were used to calibrate and validate an advection-dispersion model for furrow irrigation. The empirical infiltration equation ...
Nonuniform and Unsteady Solute Transport in Furrow Irrigation. I: Model Development
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A cross-section-averaged advection-dispersion equation (ADE) model was developed to simulate the transport of fertilizer in furrow irrigation. The advection and dispersion processes were solved separately at each time step ...
Overland Water Flow and Solute Transport: Model Development and Field-Data Analysis
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The application of plant nutrients with irrigation water is an efficient and cost-effective method for fertilizer application to enhance crop production and reduce or eliminate potential environmental problems related to ...
