A Simulation Of Sediment Deposit In Open Channels, Tsan-Wen Wang
A Simulation Of Sediment Deposit In Open Channels, Tsan-Wen Wang
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
In this study, two mathematical models have been developed to simulate sediment deposition in open-channel flow; a model based on three characteristic equations and a model based on two characteristic equations. A set of three partial differential equations for one dimensional transient flow with homogeneous density was provided to explain the mechanics of the phenomenon. By the method of characteristics, three partial differential equations were transformed into a set of three ordinary differential equations or a set of two ordinary differential equations by simplification in which the change of sediment layer thickness with respect to distance was assumed to be …
Analysis Of Variation Of River Flow And Water Quality In The White River Basin, Michael Stephen Thompson
Analysis Of Variation Of River Flow And Water Quality In The White River Basin, Michael Stephen Thompson
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
The main objectives of this White River Basin study were to analyze flow variation records, to investigate existing river water quality data as compared with the designated beneficial uses for the basin and to consider the influence of present and future irrigation development. Data were collected from a number of sources and brought together for interpretation with respect to these objectives. The streamflow study utilizes the streamflow records from 10 gaging stations in the White River Basin. It is expected that the results of this investigation may be of assistance to the South Dakota Water Resources Commission and the South …
