Finite Difference Solutions To Free Jet And Confined Cavity Flows Past Disks With Preliminary Analyses Of The Results, Roland W. Jeppson Jan 1969

Finite Difference Solutions To Free Jet And Confined Cavity Flows Past Disks With Preliminary Analyses Of The Results, Roland W. Jeppson

Reports

A number of solutions are obtained to ideal axisymmetric flow past cavitating disks for both cases of a free surface jet and flow confined in a constant radius conduit. Finite difference methods are utilized in obtaining the solutions from an inverse formulation which considers the velocity potential, and Stokes’ stream function, as the independent variables and the radial and axial dimensions, r and z, as the dependent variables. The resulting inverse boundary value problem for r, for which the basis solution is obtained, is nonlinear. The solution technique uses a Newton-Raphson iteration to evaluate the implicit finite difference operator at …

Formulation Of A Mathematical Model For The Allocation Of Colorado River Waters In Utah, Rick L. Gold, James H. Milligan, Calvin G. Clyde Jan 1969

Formulation Of A Mathematical Model For The Allocation Of Colorado River Waters In Utah, Rick L. Gold, James H. Milligan, Calvin G. Clyde

Reports

A Mathematical model for the allocation of Utah’s water resources is formulated in the linear programming format. The availability of water from various sources is considered with the demands for water in each of the nine hydrologic study areas of Utah. The applications of mathematical models of this type are studied and the merits of the linear programming approach are discussed.


Electronic Analog Computer Simulation Of The Paez-Pedraza Region Of Venezuela, J. Paul Riley, V. V. Dhruva Narayana, Kousoum S. Sakhan Jan 1969

Electronic Analog Computer Simulation Of The Paez-Pedraza Region Of Venezuela, J. Paul Riley, V. V. Dhruva Narayana, Kousoum S. Sakhan

Reports

Recently governments and universities in many South American countries have shown considerable interest in a planned and orderly development of available water resources. A case in point is the preliminary study reported in which the problem is approached by utilizing a general mathematical model of the hydrologic system. Specifically, the study involves simulation by means of an electronic analog computer of the hydrology of the Paez-Pedraza region of south western Venezuela. The various processes within the model are linked by the continuity-of-mass principle, which requires a hydrologic balance at all points. The analog computer is ideally suited to the solution …


Snowmelt Simulation, J. Paul Riley, Duane G. Chadwick, Keith O. Eggleston Jan 1969

Snowmelt Simulation, J. Paul Riley, Duane G. Chadwick, Keith O. Eggleston

Reports

The rapid growth in recent years of a variety of demands upon available water resources has lead to an increasing interest in more fundamental approaches to the science of hydrology. Accompanying this growth has been a need for an increased understanding of the snowmelt process. A completely adequate description of the entire physical process of snowmelt under all conditions is not yet available. The complex interrelated and variable nature of the snowmelt processes that occur simultaneously complicate the problem. A preliminary mathematical model of the snowmelt process has been developed in which processes such as pack settlement rates and energy …


Simulation Of The Hydrologic-Economic Flow System In An Agricultural Area, Murland R. Packer, J. Paul Riley, Harold H. Hiskey, Eugene K. Israelsen Jan 1969

Simulation Of The Hydrologic-Economic Flow System In An Agricultural Area, Murland R. Packer, J. Paul Riley, Harold H. Hiskey, Eugene K. Israelsen

Reports

Like the allocation of water resources among water users, the distribution of allocated water to the subusers requires an estimate of the economic costs and benefits from a number of distribution alternatives. The most satisfactory solution maximizes the benefit cost ratio. This study is based on the premise that equitable water distribution to agricultural subusers can be more easily accomplished through the use of a technique to predict the marginal value of agricultural water. A hydro-economic model is formulated to distribute the water supply to the crops and to determine the unit value of water for the given supply. By …


Analog Computer Simulation Of The Runoff Characteristics Of An Urban Watershed, V. V. Dhruva Narayana, J. Paul Riley, Eugene K. Israelsen Jan 1969

Analog Computer Simulation Of The Runoff Characteristics Of An Urban Watershed, V. V. Dhruva Narayana, J. Paul Riley, Eugene K. Israelsen

Reports

In the syntheses of hydrograph characteristics of small urban watersheds, the distribution of water among the various phases of the runoff process is attempted by the concept of equivalent rural watershed. The urban parameters considered in the study are percentage impervious cover and characteristic impervious length factor. A mathematical model is developed for the equivalent rural watershed with precipitation as input. The hydrograph of outflow is obtained by chronologically deducting the losses due to interception, infiltration, and depression storages from precipitation and then routing through the watershed storage. This mathematical procedure is programmed on an analog computer and is tested …

Telemetry System Modifications And 1968-69 Operation, Duane G. Chadwick Jan 1969

Telemetry System Modifications And 1968-69 Operation, Duane G. Chadwick

Reports

A discussion of telemetering system modifications is given, and discussion is presented of system operations for the 1968-69 snow season. A telemetering error analysis has been made for an operational period in February. A log is presented giving station operation periods, and a general summary of operational costs for the 1968-69 operational year is summarized.


A Perspective Of Contemporary Water Planning And Management Problems In Utah, Jay M. Bagley Jan 1969

A Perspective Of Contemporary Water Planning And Management Problems In Utah, Jay M. Bagley

Reports

I should like to discuss what I consider to be a few major problems Utah faces in connection with water and its development. Time will not permit great detail or breadth of discussion. The points I should like to discuss best can be made by first setting some hydrologic scenery. Actually, although hydrologic considerations provide the central melody to planning for water resources development, there are many socio-politico-legal-economic variations on the theme. My approach will be to remark briefly on thie environment in which today's planning must take place, provide some broad hydrologi guideposts, and with this backdrop select a …


Analog Computer Solution Of The Unsteady Flow Equations And Its Use In Modeling The Surface Runoff Process, Utah Water Research Laboratory Jan 1969

Analog Computer Solution Of The Unsteady Flow Equations And Its Use In Modeling The Surface Runoff Process, Utah Water Research Laboratory

Reports

The flow of water on a watershed is usually unsteady and spatially varied, but can be adequately portrayed by the equations of momentum and continuity, commonly referred to as the unsteady flow equations. Because these equations are quasi-linear, hyperbolic, partial differential equations, they are not easily amenable to solution. Analog computer model~ of surface runoff generally have been based on simplified forms of these equations. As an improvement of those models, an analog computer solution is presented here for the unsteady flow equations. The solution involves the conversion of the partial differential equations in to a differential-difference system, and a …

Flexible Pavement Design Criterion, James H. Havens

Kentucky Transportation Center Research Report

Our recent report on "Rational Analysis of Kentucky Flexible Pavement Criterion," November 1968, presented theoretical treatments of current design curves – which enabled transformation of the current curves into companion sets of curves embodying alternative proportions of bituminous concrete and dense-graded aggregate base. We are privileged now to submit additional analytical information and to offer recommendations for revising the present design criterion.
