Fluxes of Tracers in Wind and Water Tunnels (open access)

Fluxes of Tracers in Wind and Water Tunnels

The absorption process of particulate matter at an air-water interface was studied by means of a Monte Carlo Simulation. This absorption process does not appear to be significantly different from similar processes over stationary boundaries. Especially an increased flux toward the boundary as the result of more effective particle removal due to wave action could not be observed. The particular nature of the tracer prevents this from happening.

Geohydrology of the Anza-Terwilliger Area, Riverside County, California (open access)

Geohydrology of the Anza-Terwilliger Area, Riverside County, California

The Anza-Terwilliger area consists of about 96 square miles (24-9 square kilometers) in the upper parts of the Santa Margarita River and Coyote Creek drainage basins in Riverside County, Calif., about 90 miles (145 kilometers) southeast of Los Angeles. This report deals with geology, steady state and transient state of ground water, net depletion of ground water, surface-water flow, precipitation, chemistry of water, land and water use, and gravity data for the Anza-Terwilliger area. The data indicate that the rate of ground-water depletion ha's accelerated since 1950. Pumping depressions adjacent to the Cahuilla Indian Reservation have increased the hydraulic gradient and are.causing water beneath the reservation to flow toward these depressions. Total depletion of ground water since 1950 is about 14,000 acre-feet (17.3 cubic hectometers). Chemical analyses indicate that the ground water in local areas contains concentrations of nitrate above that recommended by the Environmental Protection Agency for human consumption.

A Technique for Estimating the Time of Travel of Water in Indiana streams (open access)

A Technique for Estimating the Time of Travel of Water in Indiana streams

Abstract: Estimates of the travel time of waterborne particles in streams is important for pollution studies and in the event of spills of contaminants. This report provides data for the 16 Indiana streams on which time-of-travel information has been obtained and a means for estimating the velocity of any naturally flowing stream in Indiana with a drainage area of 80 square miles (210 square kilometers) or more. Measured velocity rates compiled from the time-of-travel data collected in Indiana are related to 25, 50, 100, and 200 percent of the average discharge of streams shown in this report. Velocities at these discharges are significantly related to their respective watershed characteristics (average discharge and slope).Generalized relations of the velocities as functions of the streams' watershed characteristics are developed as multivariate regression equations using the data from each of the measured streams.

Operation and Maintenance of a Deep-Well Water-Level Measurement Device, "The Iron Horse" (open access)

Operation and Maintenance of a Deep-Well Water-Level Measurement Device, "The Iron Horse"

Abstract: The deep-well investigative device, commonly called the Iron Horse, has been used primarily for measuring deep water levels in boreholes and wells. The device has proven useful in measurements during hydraulic testing of wells with water levels as deep as 2,600 feet (792.5 metres). The device may also be used for obtaining water samples, sounding depths, and determining vertical fluid velocity. Extensive use of the device at the U.S. Energy Research and Development Administration's Nevada Test Site has provided the necessary experience to refine methods for proper calibration and maintenance of the Iron Horse.

Exploratory Study of Metal Vapor Lasers Operating in the Ultra-Violet at Kilowatt Power Levels. Technical Progress Report, June 1, 1975--May 1, 1976 (open access)

Exploratory Study of Metal Vapor Lasers Operating in the Ultra-Violet at Kilowatt Power Levels. Technical Progress Report, June 1, 1975--May 1, 1976

Three laser research programs are proposed: (1) to find new laser systems in the wavelength region between 2000 and 4500 A; (2) to attempt scaling lasers to high output power; and (3) to focus research on metal vapor laser systems which have promise of high efficiency. Twenty-eight new laser transitions from Cu II spanning the wavelength region from 2486 to 7988 A have been observed. A list of papers and conferences are given that summarize the metal vapor laser research. (TFD)
