JEMEZ RIVER CASE STUDY: UTILIZING A FROUDE NUMBER SIMILITUDE PHYSICAL MODEL, 1-D MOBILE BED NUMERICAL MODEL, AND A 2-D FIXED BED NUMERICAL MODEL FOR WEIR DESIGN INSIGHT
… patterns and to gain further understanding of river hydraulics around complex structures. Located on the Jemez River in New Mexico, the Jemez Weir stops the upstream progression of stream degradation and supports healthy upstream riparian vegetation. Localized bed scour began to occur just …

Development of a rapid response riverine oil-particle-aggregate (OPA) formation, transport, and fate model
The aftermath of the Kalamazoo River oil spill in 2010, which resulted in years of clean up efforts, showed that research needs to be done regarding oil particle aggregate (OPA) formation and transport in riverine environments. While three-dimensional hydrodynamic models can track the transport of …

Using ensemble precipitation forecasts to improve hydrologic risk assessment at river crossings
… with low-water crossings (LWXs) commonly used as river infrastructure on military training lands. In this work, two historical deadly flooding events were hindcasted at three LWXs at Fort Hood, Texas. A probabilistic precipitation forcing cascades uncertainty through hydrologic and hydraulic …

Dynamic vegetation Roughness in the riparian zone
… plays an important role in dictating the hydraulics of an open channel river system. While vegetation is beneficial to the biological productivity of the river system, it can also increase flood risk due to increased channel roughness. Traditional means of predicting flow hydraulics …

Incipient motion of mixed sediment load on the Rio Chama
… the primary controls affecting the ability of rivers to adjust. When these are modified to manage water resources for human needs, the ecosystem that relied on them is often negatively impacted. The river that once knew a specific dynamic equilibrium is forced to change. The result is usually …

Remote sensing for geomorphic and hydrodynamic modeling and process understanding
River discharge and geomorphic processes controlling floodplain-river interactions are fundamental measures of fluvial geomorphology and important inputs and considerations for hydrodynamic modeling. Due to our anthropogenic dependency and interconnection with rivers, humans have developed …
