Description
This project was initiated July 1, 1964, to study the feasibility of recharging excess or flood waters to an unconfined aquifer. The study included the selection of a site; design, construction, and maintenance of structures; data collection, analysis, and economic evaluation of artificial recharge.

Description
Analytical and numerical studies were made of single point moorings of a large disc buoy in deep water. Waves of different frequencies and winds of different magnitudes were imposed on moorings of different scopes for nylon ropes. The numerical model results compared favorably with analytical solutions for a straight vibrating string and the buoy motion was validated with the results from a hydraulic model study.

Description
A simulated atmospheric boundary layer flow over the Renaissance Center model was established whose characteristics compared favorably with the expected flow over the Detroit area. Flow visualization showed fluctuating separation features at certain locations on the center hotel structure and on the elevator towers of office buildings suggesting high values of pressure coefficient in those regions.

Description
Rural transportation systems are of major importance to the nation's economy. Safety of rural bridges in many cases has deteriorated to a dangerous level rendering many avenues for the movement of goods and people to an unusable state. The recently developed glulam bridge system, composed of laminated stringers and deck fastened together by bolted and doweled connections, offers great potential in needed national bridge replacement programs.

Description
Response of the flow variables to external driving forces is non-linear for shear flows. For the turbulent boundary layer case, surface shear stress fluctuations of magnitude as great as the mean value are observed. For flow near the surface Prandtl's turbulent boundary layer approach of employing averaged Reynolds equation and a turbulence closure model is insufficient to account for surf ace shear fluctuations. A model which incorporates a discrete...
