• Abstract:
  Hydraulic modeling assembles models based on generalizations of parameter values from textbooks, professional literature, computer program documentation, and engineering experience. Actual measurements adjacent to the model location are seldom available for use in refining model parameters. ; This situation often leads to good-faith estimation of velocities (needed for assessing forces on bridge piers, and assessing erosion and scour potential) that are unusually large. This research developed independent ways to assess computed velocities based on prior, authoritative, and observational experience as an independent tool to assess hydrologic and hydraulic model validity.
