Title: MODELING VESSEL-GENERATED CURRENTS IN INLAND WATERWAYS
Accession Number: 00794731
Record Type: Component
Availability: Find a library where document is available Abstract: The objective of this paper is to demonstrate a numerical model to quantify vessel-generated currents for general waterways. It addresses the drawdown and return currents generated by the displacement of a vessel moving relative to the water. It does not, however, include propeller-generated currents. Included in this paper are the governing equations and assumptions made in their derivation. Details of the numerical model and extensive model testing with laboratory data have been reported (Regulated Rivers: Research and Management, Vol. 11, 1995, pp 211-225). However, applications to actual river reaches and flow conditions are given for the first time. Two pools, one on the Upper Mississippi River and one on the Illinois Waterway, are modeled simulating barge trains and river conditions existing during field observations made by others.
