Abstract: A weakly nonlinear stability analysis of flows over erodible beds is conducted to investigate the formation of dunes. The flow is modeled with the steady vorticity transport equation and the sediment transport is described ...

Abstract: There are increasing demands for reliable engineering tools for sediment modeling and water resources management. The Lake Okeechobee environmental model (LOEM), which was calibrated and verified to simulate sediment ...

Abstract: This paper describes the validation and application of a hydrodynamic and sediment transport submodel of the Lake Okeechobee environment model (LOEM). This model simulates the sediment resuspension and transport due to ...

Abstract: Few studies have been published on three-dimensional (3D) hydrodynamic and water quality modeling of a wetland with extensive data sets for model calibration and verification. Wetland plants include submerged aquatic ...

Abstract: It is a challenge to apply coupled hydrodynamic, sediment process, and contaminant fate and transport models to the studies of surface water systems. So far, there are few published modeling studies on sediment and metal ...

Abstract: A time-dependent three-dimensional hydrodynamic model of Lake Okeechobee was validated and used to understand the physical processes associated with vertical mixing in the lake. The lake has relatively uniform water depths ...

Abstract: The near field behavior of the new Boston sewage outfall plume, as simulated by a far field circulation model of Massachusetts Bay, has been compared with similar predictions from a well-known and often-used near field ...
