Book Description
In the area of proposed improvement, the Sweetwater River is a poorly defined channel varying from 1,200 to 2,000 ft wide in a relatively broad floodplain. An entrenched trapezoidal channel with a base width of 320 ft has been excavated ending just upstream of a freeway bridge. This channel has a radius of 1,000 ft and turns approximately 80 deg in relation to the proposed channel alignment through the freeway bridge. A drop structure is to be located in the radius of the curve at the beginning of the project. A study of the proposed project was conducted using a fixed-bed constructed at a scale of 1:40 to study the effect of downstream waves and disturbances caused by the curvilinear flow conditions. The main objectives of the study were to obtain quantitative information on flow patterns, flow distribution, waves, and disturbances throughout the curved reach of channel, as well as to determine the effects of sediment buildup on water-surface elevations. The model study revealed that certain refinements are needed to the Sweetwater River project to eliminate potential problems. Keywords: Curved waterway channels; Curvilinear flow; Sediment wedge.

Book Description
Tests were conducted on a 1:20-scale model of Telegraph Canyon to determine the amount of head that would be required to increase the capacity of the culverts from 1,700 cfs to 3,300 cfs, and to develop an energy dissipator design downstream from the existing culverts. Initially, the model reproduced approximately 3,400 ft of the channel and culverts from sta 69+39 to 35+31. Later in the testing program, the model was modified to reproduce upstream channel improvements to sta 78+00 to reflect the change in location of the inlets to the box culverts from sta 59+70 to 67+40.
