Numerical Model For Hydraulic Performance Of Under-Drained Perforated Pipe Surrounded By Loose Aggregate, Tanjina Afrin, A A. Khan, N B. Kaye, F Y. Testik, F Y. Testik, F Y. Testik

S.C. Water Resources Conference

Urbanization significantly alters the hydrological cycle, leading to reduced infiltration, increased flooding, and reduced water quality. Proper management of storm-water runoff is necessary to mitigate these undesired impacts. The use of Best Management Practices (BMP) and Low Impact Development (LID) is becoming more common day by day for this purpose and perforated pipes are one of the main components of these LIDs and BMPs. This poster presents results from a CFD model that combines both porous media flow and pipe flow. The model was developed in ANSYS FLUENT to examine the hydraulic behavior (stage-discharge relationship) of a porous pipe shrouded …

Ecohydrology Of A Floodplain Forest: Relationships Between Evapotranspiration, Vegetation, And Topography At Congaree National Park, South Carolina, Lauren H.-R. Senn, Tim Callahan, David Shelley, Joel Gramling, Courtney Murren Oct 2014

Ecohydrology Of A Floodplain Forest: Relationships Between Evapotranspiration, Vegetation, And Topography At Congaree National Park, South Carolina, Lauren H.-R. Senn, Tim Callahan, David Shelley, Joel Gramling, Courtney Murren

S.C. Water Resources Conference

Congaree National Park supports high biodiversity and provides ecosystem services for the surrounding area in the floodplain wetland system, especially in the bottomland hardwood forests which contain some of the last remaining old-growth stands in the eastern U.S. Maintaining the hydraulic functions of this ecosystem is essential not only for the conservation of biodiversity, but also for the ecosystem services it provides, such as nitrification, denitrification, decomposition, removal of organic carbon, and phosphorous uptake and sorption. Because management practices of the park depend on understanding the area‟s hydrology, past research has been performed to analyze the flooding of Congaree River. …


Hydraulic Performance Of Full Flowing Perforated Pipe Underdrains Surrounded By Loose Laid Aggregate, Patrick Murphy, Nigel Berkeley Kaye, Abdul Khan Oct 2014

Hydraulic Performance Of Full Flowing Perforated Pipe Underdrains Surrounded By Loose Laid Aggregate, Patrick Murphy, Nigel Berkeley Kaye, Abdul Khan

S.C. Water Resources Conference

Low Impact Development (LID) Best Management Practices (BMPs) are becoming increasingly popular. Many of these BMPs work to increase the infiltration of runoff into the underlying soil. However, some BMPs, including porous pavements and infiltration trenches, sometimes need additional sub-surface drainage to comply with local drawdown regulations or to prevent the trench or pavement filling with runoff leading to water percolating up to the surface. Unfortunately, there is very little information available on how these drains perform. The goal of this research is to aid engineers by developing stage – discharge relationships for a range of commonly available perforated pipes.

Improving Hydrologic Predictions Of Distributed Watershed Model Via Uncertainty Quantification Of Evapotranspiration Methods, S Samadi, Dan L. Tufford, Greg J. Carbone

S.C. Water Resources Conference

Successful initialization and accurate estimation of evapotranspiration (ET) in the coastal plain landscapes are crucial for the prediction of hydrologic variables including streamflow, surficial aquifer lost and infiltration. The aim of this study is to examine the ability of Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) to accurately represent the characterization of three potential ET methods (Priestley-Taylor (P-T), Penman–Monteith (P-M) and Hargreaves (HG)) using the Sequential Uncertainty FItting (SUFI-2) algorithm during 2003-2005 and 2006-2007 as calibration and validation intervals. The study area was the Waccamaw River watershed, a low-gradient coastal plain watershed in the southeastern US. The results indicated that in …
