Download or read book A Mathematical Study of the Impact on Salinity Intrusion of Deepening the Lower Mississippi River Navigation Channel written by Billy H. Johnson and published by . This book was released on 1987 with total page 80 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The US Army Engineer District, New Orleans has been evaluating the feasibility of deeper draft access to the ports of New Orleans and Baton Rouge, Louisiana. One of the factors being considered in the evaluation is the impact of the deeper channel on salinity intrusion in the Lower Mississippi River. The importance of such an evaluation is because the city of New Orleans relies primarily upon the Mississippi River for its supply of fresh water. A major reason for conducting the numerical modeling study was not only to evaluate the impact of a deeper channel on salinity intrusion using historical riverflows but also to use the numerical model to determine the impact on the wedge intrusion of increasing the height of natural river crossings, i.e., creating a sill in the river. To address the question of the stability of such a sill composed of natural sediment, the HEC-6 computer program Scour and Deposition in Rivers and Reservoirs, HEC (1977), was applied.

Download or read book Coastal Protection written by Pile Buck and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2012-10 with total page 283 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With today's problems surrounding shoreline protection, this book should be of great assistance. This manual contains a compilation of 2 Navy and 2 Corps manuals all relative to the subject of coastal protection and the affects tidal action has on our shorelines. The titles included are: Coastal Protection is a U.S. Navy publication which deals specifically with waves and their characteristics. In order to prepare safe designs, the normal and extreme waves which will act against the structure must be evaluated so that a design wave can be selected. Pilebuck takes the user through this phase into the application of data to actual design of breakwaters and seawalls. Storm Surge Analysis: High tides and wind-generated waves combine to provide a potential for abnormally high water levels and flooding during hurricanes or other serious storms. An understanding of this phenomena is essential in order to plan control structures or design others.

Download or read book Engineering Response to Global Climate Change written by Robert G. Watts and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 1997-07-30 with total page 512 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book goes beyond the analysis offered by typical works on this subject to propose real solutions to problems caused by changes in the earth's climate. From new ways to cut energy consumption and reduce carbon dioxide emissions to discussions of the possibilities of sea walls and climate-altering technologies, Engineering Response to Global Climate Change presents new conceptual tools and suggests research necessary for correcting and alleviating problems caused by global warming. Engineers are just now being asked to consider the problems of climate change and the possible technological responses. This complete reference covers the whole range of potential impacts of climate change and their engineering solutions. Of special interest is the chapter on geoengineering, which suggests how engineers may someday be able to intervene in planetary processes to reduce the effects of global warming. Edited by a regional director of the National Institute for Global Environmental Change and offering the collective expertise of a team of expert authors, each renowned in his or her field, this book offers thorough coverage of this important topic from an engineering and technology perspective.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A combination of numerical models was used to test alternatives for shoaling prevention in Corpus Christi Harbor, Texas. The vertically averaged model system, TABS-2, was used to simulate contributions of sediments by bay waters to the sediment load. The laterally averaged estuarine model, LAEMSED, was used to simulate density currents in the channel and sedimentation that occurs at the harbor entrance. Applications of the models testing advance maintenance, removal of industrial discharges and withdrawals, advance maintenance in conjunction with a sill, and movement of the disposal areas showed a 20 percent decrease in shoaling as a result of industrial activity removal, a 75 percent decrease in sediments entering the bay channel due to disposal area relocation, and practically no effect on shoaling rates resulting from advance maintenance. Appendix A presents the results of a reconnaissance survey on shoaling conditions in Corpus Christi Harbor. Appendix B describes the TABS-2 numerical modeling system, and Appendix C describes the theoretical aspects of LAEMSED.
