Excerpt from Numerical Solution of Flood Prediction and River Regulation Problems: Report II, Numerical Solution of Flood Problems in Simplified Models of the Ohio River and the Junction of the Ohio and Mississippi Rivers; Conclusions Valuable for the Actual Cases
In Renort I a mathematical basis was laid for the numerical solution of flow problems in rivers. Rrhe ultimate aim is to carry out numerically the solution of a flood problem for the Ohio River in a concrete case by using an appropriate digital commuter, to compare the results with the observations, and, in general, to study the feasibility of such methods of attacking this tyne of problem; in addition, the problem of floods at the junctlon of the Ohio and the Mississippi, and problems concerning the regulation of the Tennessee River through controls at the Kentucky Dam are to be solved numerically. In all of these cases it is necessary to make use of a considerable bulk of observational data--cross~ sections and slopes of the channels, measurements of river denths and discharges as functions of time and distance down the river, drainage areas, observed flows from tributaries.

Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book presents valuable insights into predicting flood patterns through computational techniques. The author explored mathematical equations that represent real-world conditions of flowing water. The intent was to apply these mathematical models to predict flood conditions in rivers like the Mississippi and Ohio. The mathematical basis for solving flow problems in rivers is laid out and the author sought to create a computational method that could be applied to actual rivers by using a digital computer. The author tested the method with three separate river models that were simplified versions of actual rivers. The equations and other empirical data needed to fix the coefficients of the differential equations were derived from cross-sections, measurements of river depths and discharges, and drainage areas. The numerical solution presented by the author for a flood wave in a model of the Ohio demonstrated the mathematical model to be an effective approach to flood-wave prediction that can be used as a practical method.
