The Dynamic Loop Effect on the Mississippi River Project Design Flood Flow Line.
Abstract
The unusally high 1973 and 1975 flood seasons on the Mississippi River revealed apparent significant reductions in flood-carrying capacity. In addition, a heretofore unappreciated phenomenon known as loop effect appeared to have a large impact on stage-discharge relations. As a part of a general re-analysis of the design flood flow line, a study was initiated to help quantify the dynamic loop effect. The purpose of the study was to estimate the loop magnitude at the design flood to be added to the separately evaluated steady-state design flood flow line.
