  • Influence of vegetation on streambank hydraulics

    Creator:
    Czarnomski, Nicole M.
    Abstract:
    Proper use of vegetation in streambank bioengineering practices requires a comprehensive understanding of the influence of vegetation density on streambank hydraulics. A series of studies were conducted to investigate the relationship between independent variables vegetation density, bank angle, and discharge and dependent variables channel velocity, resistance, turbulence, and shear stress....

  • Change in Hydraulic Conductivity of Expansive Soils

    Creator:
    Hesseltine, Johnathon
    Abstract:
    Swelling soils cause millions of dollars of damage to buildings every year in the Unites States alone. One essential piece to understanding these soils is to understand how water moves through them. Hydraulic conductivity is a measure of how easily water flows through a soil. Currently, the most common method...

  • Hydraulic experiments on impact forces from tsunami-driven debris

    Creator:
    Ko, Harrison T.
    Abstract:
    Impact by an idealized shipping container on a column were observed for tsunami flow in a large-scale wave flume modeled at the O.H. Hinsdale Wave Research Laboratory at Oregon State University. Two specimen types, aluminum and acrylic, were tested; and each specimen was tested in two orientations, longitudinal and transverse....

  • A GIS approach to estimating continuous hydraulic conductivity and equivalent hydraulic conductivity

    Creator:
    Arras, Tracy Lynn
    Abstract:
    Estimating the hydraulic conductivity of earth materials is important for many water resource modeling efforts, including predicting the transport of pollutants in ground water, computing surface runoff for flood control, and computing water budgets. This research implicitly used topography, soil, and climate data to estimate plausible continuous hydraulic conductivity values...

  • Computational Fluid Dynamics Benchmark Analysis of an Historical Sodium Loop Experiment

    Creator:
    Moore, Thomas M.
    Abstract:
    Sodium cooled nuclear reactors are being considered for the next generation of nuclear power plants to provide clean electricity to the world. To prove the safety of these reactors, the fuel must be shown to safely handle large neutron fluxes that cause a spike in the thermal output of the...

  • Physical Modeling of the Feedbacks Between a Reed Canarygrass (Phalaris arundinacea) Patch, Hydraulics, and Bedform Evolution

    Creator:
    Elliott, Susan H.
    Abstract:
    Reed Canarygrass (RCG) is an aggressive invader in aquatic ecosystems that swiftly modifies the environment and decreases biodiversity. A physical model was used to investigate the mechanisms by which RCG spreads. Experimental trials were implemented to examine feedbacks between a mid-channel patch of the flexible RCG, hydraulics, and bedform evolution...

  • Roughness and geometry effects of engineered log jams on 1-D flow characteristics

    Creator:
    Valverde, Rachelle S.
    Abstract:
    The re-introduction of large woody debris (LWD) into streams and rivers for stream restoration purposes is rapidly growing. Engineered log jams (ELJs) are man-made structures intended to mimic natural LWD structures, designed and installed to protect stream banks from erosion while increasing habitat diversity. Several studies have evaluated the flow...

  • Hydraulic Conductivity of The Hemp Stems Under Water Stress

    Creator:
    Yuksel, Mehmet
    Abstract:
    Hydraulic conductivity of hemp stems under water-stress conditions was investigated. When plants face with water-stress conditions, embolies (cavitation) are triggered in xylem channels and water transport from the root to the leaves is affected. The relation between percentage loss of water transfer ability within the xylem channels can be described...

  • Forestry

    Creator:
    Avery, Bonnie E.
    Abstract:
    A broad definition of forestry would include the study of trees, forests, and the habitat they provide as well as their use by people. Modern, "science-based" forestry began in the nineteenth century when Europeans looked for specialists who could address questions on wood supply and extraction both at home and...

  • Effects of an engineered log jam on flow structure and complexity

    Creator:
    L'Hommedieu, William J.
    Abstract:
    The installation of engineered log jams (ELJs) is a common river restoration practice, implemented to modify flow structure and increase hydraulic complexity for the benefit of streambank protection and fish habitat. However, few studies have directly assessed the effects of ELJs on flow structure and complexity. This study presents a...
