    • Non-linear Standing Waves in a Rectangular Tank Due to Forced Oscillation 

      Lin, J. D.; Howard, L. N. (Cambridge, Mass. : Hydrodynamics Laboratory, Dept. of Civil and Sanitary Engineering, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1960-10)
      This study is concerned with standing waves generated by a two-dimensional wave maker in a rectangular tank. The theoretical investigation was first based on the well-known linear theory of surface waves. The linearized ...

    • Linear Programming and Dynamic Programming Application to Water Distribution Network Design 

      Schaake, Jr., John C.; Lai, Dennis (Cambridge, Mass. M.I.T. Hydrodynamics Laboratory, 1969-07)
      The water distribution network design problem is to find the optimal set of investments in pipelines that are needed to satisfy water requirements. The strategy of this study has been first to define an optimality criterion ...

    • Design of a Closed Jet, Open Circuit Water Tunnel for the Study of Wake Mechanics 

      Toebes, G. H.; Perkins, F. E.; Eagleson, P. S. (Cambridge, Mass. : Hydrodynamics Laboratory, Dept. of Civil and Sanitary Engineering, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1958-04)
      This Technical Note describes the design of an open-circuit water tunnel with a 7-1/2 inch by 9 inch closed-jet working section. The maximum velocity obtainable in the empty test section is approximately 50 fps. The water ...
