    • Subscale Steam Tests of Vapor Supression Pool Mixing and Circulation with Application to the Shoreham Nuclear Power Station 

      Adams, E. Eric; Baker, Richard M. (Cambridge, MA. : Ralph M. Parsons Laboratory, Hydrodynamics and Coastal Engineering, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Civil Engineering, 1981-12)
      This report addresses the temperature distribution induced within a suppression pool by a steam discharge. The problem is first examined theoretically to identify the dominant zones and to estimate circulation and mixing ...

    • Entrainment in Diffusive Thermohaline Systems: Application to Salt Gradient Solar Ponds 

      Atkinson, Joseph F.; Adams, E. Eric; Melville, W. Kendall; Harleman, Donald R. F. (Cambridge, MA. : Ralph M. Parsons Laboratory, Hydrology and Water Resource Systems, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Civil Engineering, 1984-12)
      The development of a numerical model for simulating the temporal evolution of vertical temperature and salinity profiles in a salt gradient solar pond is described. The model uses a mixed-layer approach and a general ...

    • Spillway Analysis in Dam Safety Evaluation 

      Langseth, David E.; Perkins, Frank E. (Cambridge, Mass. : Ralph M. Parsons Laboratory, Hydrology and Water Resource Systems, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Civil Engineering, 1984-12)
      This work develops, tests, and applies a non-dimensional flood damage model which includes both overtopping and non-overtopping dam failures. The model represents a catchment, reservoir, dam, channel, and damage site. Peak ...
