    • Entrainment in Diffusive Thermohaline Systems: Application to Salt Gradient Solar Ponds 

      Atkinson, Joseph F.; Adams, E. Eric; Melville, W. Kendall; Harleman, Donald R. F. (Cambridge, MA. : Ralph M. Parsons Laboratory, Hydrology and Water Resource Systems, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Civil Engineering, 1984-12)
      The development of a numerical model for simulating the temporal evolution of vertical temperature and salinity profiles in a salt gradient solar pond is described. The model uses a mixed-layer approach and a general ...

    • Spillway Analysis in Dam Safety Evaluation 

      Langseth, David E.; Perkins, Frank E. (Cambridge, Mass. : Ralph M. Parsons Laboratory, Hydrology and Water Resource Systems, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Civil Engineering, 1984-12)
      This work develops, tests, and applies a non-dimensional flood damage model which includes both overtopping and non-overtopping dam failures. The model represents a catchment, reservoir, dam, channel, and damage site. Peak ...

    • Large-scale Models of Transient Unsaturated Flow and Contaminant Transport Using Stochastic Methods 

      Mantoglou, Aristotelis; Gelhar, Lynn W. (Cambridge, MA. : Dept. of Civil Engineering, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1985-01)
      A new framework for modeling large-scale unsaturated flow and solute transport systems in spatially variable soils is proposed. The largescale model structures are derived by averaging the local governing flow and transport ...
