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 CasesIn 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.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
