    • Model Study of a Flood-control Pumping Station at the Charles River Dam 

      Harleman, D. R. F.; Broughton, R. S.; Huval, C. J.; Partenscky, H. W. (Cambridge, Mass. : Hydrodynamics Laboratory, Dept. of Civil and Sanitary Engineering, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1959-06)
      This report describes the design, construction and testing of a Froudian model of a proposed 8400-cfs capacity pumping station, Site restrictions require that the flow approach the high specific-speed pumps asymmetrically ...

    • Non-linear Standing Waves in a Rectangular Tank Due to Forced Oscillation 

      Lin, J. D.; Howard, L. N. (Cambridge, Mass. : Hydrodynamics Laboratory, Dept. of Civil and Sanitary Engineering, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1960-10)
      This study is concerned with standing waves generated by a two-dimensional wave maker in a rectangular tank. The theoretical investigation was first based on the well-known linear theory of surface waves. The linearized ...

    • Linear Programming and Dynamic Programming Application to Water Distribution Network Design 

      Schaake, Jr., John C.; Lai, Dennis (Cambridge, Mass. M.I.T. Hydrodynamics Laboratory, 1969-07)
      The water distribution network design problem is to find the optimal set of investments in pipelines that are needed to satisfy water requirements. The strategy of this study has been first to define an optimality criterion ...
