Burial of Short Cylinders Induced by Scour under Combined Waves and Currents
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Results of an experimental study of the scour and burial of cylinders placed on a sandy bed under the combined flow of regular waves and currents are presented. Experiments were conducted for cylinder Reynolds wave number ...
Closure to “Burial of Short Cylinders Induced by Scour under Combined Waves and Currents” by Yovanni A. Cataño-Lopera and Marcelo H. García
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Experimental Investigation of a Vortex-Flow Restrictor: Rain-Blocker Performance Tests
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Flow restrictors, or rain blockers, are commonly used at inlets of storm-drain networks to limit the peak flow entering storm sewers. This reduces the likelihood of the sewer system becoming hydraulically overloaded, thus ...
Experimental and Numerical Study of the Flow Structure around Two Partially Buried Objects on a Deformed Bed
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The flow characteristics around two partially buried objects, a short cylinder (SC) and a truncated cone (TC) were examined experimentally and numerically. Experiments were conducted in a large tilting flume with vertical ...
In Situ Characterization of Resuspended-Sediment Oxygen Demand in Bubbly Creek, Chicago, Illinois
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Sediment oxygen demand (SOD) can be a significant oxygen sink in various types of water bodies, particularly slow-moving waters with substantial organic sediment accumulation. In most settings in which SOD is a concern, ...
Modeling of a Transient Event in the Tunnel and Reservoir Plan System in Chicago, Illinois
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Transient flow events can potentially damage infrastructure and threaten public safety in the vicinity of violent flow eruptions that occur where tunnel drop shafts interconnect with the surface-combined sewer system. ...
