Cost modelling for inland waterway transport systems.
Inland waterways have proven to be a significant mode of infrastructure for the carriage of freight. Examples of this can be seen in many developed regions such as Continental Europe, the United States of America and to a lesser extent, the United Kingdom. The benefit resulting from the existence …

Hydrodynamic and water quality modelling of Chicago Area Waterway System (CAWS)
Chicago Area Waterway System (CAWS) is a highly branched network of natural rivers and man-made canals. The total length of CAWS including rivers and canals is about 250 kms (156 miles). Although not very long CAWS is famous for the engineering feat that reversed the flow of Chicago River (CR), an …

Mass balance modeling of polychlorinated biphenyls in the Lower Duwamish Waterway
… is properly characterized. The Lower Duwamish Waterway (LDW) in Seattle, Washington is contaminated with polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs). A zero dimensional mass balance of the 5 mile long waterway, which ends in Elliott Bay, helps to determine the different sources and concentrations of PCBs …

Extreme weather disaster resilient port and waterway infrastructure for sustainable global supply chain
… will benefit port authorities, maritime and waterway cargo shipping enterprises, and port cities in reducing impacts on communities and enhancing disaster resilience of port infrastructures, which are imperative for minimizing disruptions in the global supply chain and sustaining the world …

Designing for Fluid Transitions to Sustainable Infrastructure: The Case of the Bedford & Milton Keynes Waterway
… case study of the Bedford & Milton Keynes Waterway infrastructure project was completed. Ethnographic observation and interviews provided empirical data on the design activities present in this nascent project. The Fluid Transition (FT) approach was adopted as it identifies a role for …

Long-term impacts of water quality and climate variability on Illinois River waterway fish assemblages
… fish assemblages throughout the Illinois River Waterway (IRW) on a yearly basis. During the 1960s, researchers observed that much of the upper river was depauperate. Fishes consisted almost entirely of pollution tolerant non-native common carp (Cyprinus carpio) and goldfish (Carassius auratus). …

Development of Pre-Stressed Retrofit Strategies for Mitigating Fatigue Cracking in Steel Waterway Lock Gate Components
<p>Lock gates are an important part of the transportation infrastructure within the United States (US), having many economic, safety, and environmental benefits over rail and highway transportation systems. Unfortunately, many existing lock gates throughout the US have reached or exceeded their …

Effect of angular orientation on the hydrodynamic forces acting on a body in a restricted waterway
A slender body theory method developed for a body moving parallel to a wall in shallow water is extended to include angular orientation of the body to the wall. The method satisfies only the zero normal velocity condition on the external boundaries but does not take into account the effect of …

Evaluating the combined use of three-dimensional hydrodynamic modeling and polyethylene passive sampling in the Lower Duwamish Waterway
… evaluation was completed for the Lower Duwamish Waterway (LDW), a salt wedge estuary located in Seattle, Washington. The LDW was selected for its idealized conditions (straight channel with relatively uniform cross-section), established 3D hydrodynamic model (Environmental Fluid Dynamics Code …

An experimental comparison of thermal discharges to a waterway by a single jet and by a multiple port diffuser
An experimental comparison has been made of the behavior of thermal effluents released by two different basic discharge methods. First, a multiple port diffuser, which acts to enhance mixing of the discharge with the receiving, water, was studied. Second, a single jet discharge, which is simpler, …

Coupled Sediment Yield And Sediment Transport Model To Support Navigation Planning In Northeast Brazil
… of sediment (shoaling) in commercial waterways is a major obstacle to maintaining sustainable riverine transportation of bulk goods (primarily agricultural and mining commodities). The rate of aggradation of sediment in a waterway is directly related to both the rate of sediment …

Analysis of the injection of a heated, turbulent jet into a moving mainstream, with emphasis on a thermal discharge in a waterway
… The discharge of a turbulent effluent into a waterway was mathematically modeled as a submerged jet injection process by using an integral method which accounts for natural fluid mechanisms such as turbulence, entrainment, buoyancy, and heat transfer. The analytical results are supported by …
