| Description: | Miscellaneous Paper Abstract: This report describes a numerical model for computing unsteady flows on the Ohio River with the proposed Olmsted Locks and Dam project in place. It is anticipated that this project will operate as a hinged pool, with the hinge point being Paducah, KY. In addition to a description of the model, its input requirements, and its capabilities and limitations, results from several applications are presented. Applications, with and without the Olmsted Dam in place, for a low flow event in May-June 1988 are discussed along with several hypothetical flow events. These hypothetical events represent different types of outflows from Smithland Dam on the Ohio River, Barkley Dam on the Cumberland River, and Kentucky Dam on the Tennessee River. Results in the form of elevation plots at several locations serve to demonstrate that the hinged pool algorithm performs properly and to illustrate the behavior of the system with the Olmsted project in place. Descriptions of the input data required are presented in Appendixes A-D. |
