One-dimensional numerical model test and predictions for the Siuslaw EstuaryFarreras, Salvador F. 02 April 1975 (has links)
The one-dimensional numerical model developed by Carl R.
Goodwin is applied to the Siuslaw estuary. Vertical displacement,
horizontal velocity and flow of the water as a function of time and
distance from the mouth given by the model are compared with field
observations taken under different water mixing conditions in the
estuary.
The model is considered adequate under well mixed and partially
mixed conditions, and inadequate under strongly stratified
conditions.
Estimations of deviations between model predictions and field
observations are presented.
Nomograms are constructed from model predictions of amplification
factors, high water time lags, maximum flood velocities,
maximum ebb velocities, low water time lags, maximum flood
flows, maximum ebb flows, high slack water time lags and low
slack water time lags, as a function of river flow, ocean tidal
range and river mile for a range of 0 to 6000 cubic feet per second
(0 to 170 cubic meters per second) of river flow, and 1 to 11 feet
(0.30 to 3.35 meters) of ocean tidal range. These nomograms are
considered adequate for predictive purposes during well mixed and
partially mixed conditions of the estuary waters. / Graduation date: 1975
