Modeling of CSO-Induced Pollutant Transport in Mt. Hope Bay
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Combined sewage overflow (CSO) discharges due to a storm event create strongly stratified pollutant plumes on the surface of Mt. Hope Bay, of Rhode Island and Massachusetts. To examine the CSO-induced pollutant impact, a ...
Correlation of Freshwater Discharge and Subtidal Salinity in Apalachicola River
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Modification of river flow from engineering activities often affects salinity and the mixing of fresh and saltwater in tidal rivers. In this study, an empirical relation between subtidal salinity and gradually varying ...
Numerical Modeling of Dynamic Wave Force Acting on Escambia Bay Bridge Deck during Hurricane Ivan
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Bridge decks in Escambia Bay were damaged during the storm surge of Hurricane Ivan in 2004. In this study, a numerical wave-load model based on the incompressible Reynolds averaged Navier–Stokes equations and
Modeling Horizontal Diffusion with Sigma Coordinate System
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Accurate calculation of horizontal diffusive transport is important in modeling temperature, salinity, sediment, and pollutant transport in estuaries and the coastal ocean. Many three-dimensional estuarine and coastal ocean ...
3D Model of Estuarine Circulation and Water Quality Induced by Surface Discharges
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A three-dimensional numerical model system was developed to predict circulation and water quality induced by surface discharges in estuarine and coastal waters. The model system consists of hydrodynamic, pollutant-transport, ...
Field Experiment Study of Transient Stratified Flow in an Estuary
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: An experimental study of stratified flow was conducted in this study. An electromagnetic measurement instrument, the S4 current meter, was used in field data collections of salinity and currents in the lower Apalachicola ...
Berm Effects on the Probability Distribution of Individual Wave Overtopping Discharge over a Low-Crested Sea Dike
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Existing studies on the distribution of individual wave overtopping over sea dikes have not taken the effects of the berm into consideration. In this study, a series of physical experiments have been conducted on smooth ...
