Military Hydrology. Report 20. Reservoir Outflow (RESOUT) Model
Abstract
This report documents the development of the Reservoir Outflow (RESOUT) Model. The various types of structures that are used for discharging water at dams are identified, and the basic hydraulic equations are presented. The AirLand Battlefield Environment (ALBE) Thrust program will develop technologies to provide the field Army with operational capability to perform and exploit battlefield effects assessments for tactical advantage. Military engineering in the area of hydrology, one facet of the ALBE Thrust, deals with the effects of surface water and ground water on planning and conducting military operations. The objective of military hydrology research is to develop an improved hydrologic capability for the Armed Forces. To meet this overall objective, research is being conducted in four areas: (a) weather-hydrology interactions; (b) state of the ground; (c) streamflow or channel flow; and (d) water supplies. This report contributes to streamflow modeling and is oriented toward development of procedures for rapidly forecasting streamflow parameters including discharge, velocity, depth, width, and flood plains areas from natural and man-induced hydrologic events.
