Riprap sizing for scour protection at river confluence
River confluence is a common feature of most irrigation and drainage channels and river systems, where tributary conflicts the main channel. In these section, rapid changes in velocity and discharge, sediment distribution and flow turbulent result in a deep confluence scour, a bar point in the separation zone at downstream of junction corner and finally vortex flow. Thus, the main goal of this...
متن کاملMethane oxidation at the water-ice interface of an ice-covered lake
Lakes are important components of the global methane (CH4) cycle. In seasonally ice-covered lakes, CH4 transported by ebullition (bubbling) from anoxic sediments gets trapped at the water-ice interface. If not oxidized by methane-oxidizing bacteria (MOB), this can potentially lead to high episodic CH4 emissions at icemelt. To understand the fate of CH4 trapped below ice, we measured depth-distr...
متن کاملLife in ice-covered oceans.
Recent evidence for salt-water oceans beneath the ice crusts of Europa and Callisto (1, 2) has bolstered speculation that these satellites of Jupiter may harbor life (3,4). Attention has focused on Europa. The geology and young age of its surface (5,6) and the predicted heat flow from radiogenic decay and tidal dissipation (7,8) suggest a geologically active interior and liquid water at shallow...
متن کاملFlood Frequencyand Routing Processes Ata Confluence of the Middle Yellow River in China
Floods cause environmental hazards and influence on socio-economic activities. In this study, we evaluated the historic flood frequency at a confluence in the middle Yellow River, China. A non-parametric, multivariate, empirical, orthogonal function matrix model, which consists of time correlation coefficients of flood discharge at different gauge stations and flood events was used for the anal...
متن کاملForecasting Ice-Affected Rivers at the Northeast River Forecast Center
Each winter and early spring, the Northeast River Forecast Center (NERFC) faces the challenge of forecasting river stage and flow for ice affected rivers. “Stage versus flow” relationships tend to be in error and there is a lack of real-time information about the nature of the ice cover. The NERFC is investigating methods to forecast river stage and flow for ice-affected rivers because in times...
