Adding Radar Rainfall and Calibration to the TR-20 Watershed Model to Improve Dam Removal Flood Analysis
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: In communities where flood frequency data are unavailable, rainfall-runoff-routing models can estimate flood impacts of dam removal. We used the federal TR-20 model with PEST calibration software and NEXRAD radar rainfall ...
Overview of Reservoir Release Improvements at 20 TVA Dams
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: In 1987, the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) authorized a comprehensive review of reservoir operating priorities that had been followed since 1933. The purpose was to ensure optimum operation of the reservoir system, ...
Reservoir Circulation Patterns and Water Quality
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A two‐dimensional hydrodynamic‐temperature model was applied to Cherokee Reservoir to examine similarities between circulation patterns and observed water quality phenomena. A circulation pattern, involving reverse bottom ...
In Vivo Determination of Elastic Modulus of Canine Cardiac Muscle
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A practical technique was developed for in vivo determinations of the mechanical properties of canine left ventricle. A “quick stretch” was accomplished by rapid injection of isotonic saline ...
