Flow through Partially Submerged Orifice
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2017)Vertically mounted circular orifices have been extensively used for flow measurements. The operation of a side orifice is not always under a high headwater above the crown of the orifice, as a result, the prediction of ... -
Improvements in Standardized Testing for Evaluating Sediment Barrier Performance: Design of a Full-Scale Testing Apparatus
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2017)Perimeter controls [i.e., sediment barriers (SBs) or sediment retention devices] are typically used on construction sites to retain sediment and prevent polluted stormwater runoff from adversely affecting aquatic ... -
Evaluation of Valiantzas’ Simplified Forms of the FAO-56 Penman-Monteith Reference Evapotranspiration Model in a Humid Climate
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2017)The unavailability of some meteorological variables, especially solar radiation and wind speed, is the main constraint for reference evapotranspiration (ETo) estimation using the standard United Nations Food and Agriculture ... -
Multilinear Method for Hydraulic Analysis of Pipe Networks
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2017)Steady-state modeling of water distribution networks (WDNs) is the calculation of flow rates in pipes and nodal pressures for a given set of boundary conditions (i.e., water levels, pump curves, nodal demands, and so ... -
Monitoring Porous Asphalt Stormwater Infiltration and Outflow
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2017) -
Overland-Flow Resistance Characteristics of Nonsubmerged Vegetation
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2017)In order to discover the resistance characteristics of overland flow with vegetation cover, indoor drainage experiments with six slopes, seven flow discharges, and five degrees of vegetation cover are systematically ... -
Testing the Outflow Process over a Triangular Labyrinth Weir
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2017)In this paper, the dimensionless stage-discharge relation for a sharp-crested triangular labyrinth weir, determined in a previous study, is initially tested by some experimental runs carried out in a laboratory flume. ... -
Closure to “New Stage-Discharge Equation for the SMBF Flume” by Francesco Giuseppe Carollo, Costanza Di Stefano, Vito Ferro, and Vincenzo Pampalone
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2017) -
Experimental Study of Flow past a Warped Transition
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2017)Irrigation networks use a warped transition to connect a narrow rectangular channel section with a relatively wide trapezoidal earth-channel section. The flow through the transition often separates from its sidewalls. This ... -
Evaluation of Variable-Infiltration Capacity Model and MODIS-Terra Satellite-Derived Grid-Scale Evapotranspiration Estimates in a River Basin with Tropical Monsoon-Type Climatology
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2017) -
Runoff Projection under Climate Change Conditions with Data-Mining Methods
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2017)This work proposes data-mining algorithms for runoff projection under climate change conditions. Specifically, genetic programming (GP), artificial neural network (ANN), and support vector machine (SVM) data-mining tools ... -
Long-Term Simulations of the Hydrology for Sugarcane Fields in the Humid Tropics: Case Study on Guyana’s Coastland

Comparison of Effects of Root Water Uptake Functions for Simulating Surface Water and Heat Fluxes within a Corn Farmland Ecosystem in Northeast China
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2017)The root water uptake (RWU) process plays an important role in the terrestrial water cycle by connecting the soil environment to the atmosphere. Inaccurate representation of RWU functions (RWUFs) in land surface models ... -
New Flow-Resistance Law for Steep Mountain Streams Based on Velocity Profile
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2017)This paper deduces a new flow-resistance equation for open-channel flow applying dimensional analysis and self-similarity theory. The incomplete self-similarity hypothesis is used to establish the flow velocity distribution ... -

Prediction of Soil Solution Electrical Conductivity by the Permittivity Corrected Linear Model Using a Dielectric Sensor
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2017)In the present study, the electrical conductivity of the soil solution (σp) was predicted using a linear model in which the bulk soil electrical conductivity (σb) effect on the apparent dielectric permittivity (ϵs) was ... -
Dynamical Behavior and Stability Analysis of Hydromechanical Gates
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2017)This study revisits the stability of hydromechanical gates for upstream water surface regulation, also known as AMIL gates. AMIL gates are used in irrigation canals, where they are often installed in series. From the ... -
Long-Term Spatial and Temporal Maize and Soybean Evapotranspiration Trends Derived from Ground-Based and Satellite-Based Datasets over the Great Plains
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2017)Estimation of evapotranspiration (ET) from any given crop is essential for agricultural water consumption analyses, hydrologic modeling, understanding vegetation response to climatic changes, and related studies. Even ...
