Abstract:
The article presents the theoretical substantiation of using the optimal trim of “river- sea” vessels in order to improve the propulsion of vessels of various types and purposes navigating on seas and rivers. There has been carried out the analysis of the optimal trim for different types of ships in operation. The given calculations prove the possibility of designing new ships with improved sailing characteristics. The scheme of damping the bow shear wave coming from the stem of the “river-sea” vessel is illustrated using the shear wave coming from the bow bulb, with a differential to the bow. It is proved that trimming of a “river-sea” vessel without a bow bulb is effective for slow-moving and high-speed vessels due to the reduction of components and total drag, compared to the resistance to the movement of a vessel with a conventional trim. An integral similar to Mitchell integral for the wave drag of a vessel with a bow bulb is proposed, by means of which the conditions for damping a bow shear wave (coming from the stem) using the bow bulb of a “river-sea” vessel are determined. The elements composing resistance to the vessel propulsion are investigated in detail: total resistance of the medium to the movement of the vessel, resistance of friction, shape, protruding parts, wave, and aerodynamic resistance. There are considered the criteria of the optimal bow draft of the vessel and optimal trim of the vessel, the criteria of the efficient use of the optimal trim for the “river-sea” vessels on the sea sections. An equation is given that determines the value of the optimal length of the wave-forming part of the bow bulb or the condition for the optimal trim. The pictures illustrating a sea vessel bulb, the bow of which is capable of effectively forming a shear wave at a given differential are shown. Conclusions are made about the possibility of using the optimal trim for river-sea vessels on river and sea sections, recommendations are given that contribute to saving fuel and time, increasing the speed to two knots while reducing the total resistance by up to 20%.

Abstract:
AbstractAlberta’s Bow River has its headwaters in the glaciated eastern slopes of the Canadian Rockies and is a major source of water in southern Alberta. Glacial retreat, declining snowpacks and increased water demand are all expected in the coming century, yet there are relatively few studies focusing on quantifying glacial meltwater in the Bow River. We develop a new radiation-temperature melt model for modelling distributed glacier mass balance and runoff in the Bow River basin. The model reflects physical processes through the incorporation of near-surface air temperature and absorbed radiation, while avoiding problems of collinearity through the use of a radiation-decorrelated temperature index. The model is calibrated at Haig Glacier in the southern portion of the basin and validated at Haig and Peyto Glaciers. Application of the model to the entire Bow River basin for 2000-09 shows glacier ice melt is equivalent to 3% of annual discharge in Calgary on average. Modelled ice melt in August is equal to 8-20% of the August Bow River discharge in Calgary. This emphasizes the importance of glacier runoff to late-summer streamflow in the region, particularly in warm, dry years.

Abstract:
Abstract Serious games provide a way for stakeholders to become engaged in and understand the issues and constraints on a real-world system. An application of a serious game is explored, as a way to improve engagement and learning of participants in a water management planning process. Bow River Sim is a single-player game that helps the user to understand the Water Resources Management Model (WRMM) and to visualize the implications and impacts around system interactions in the basin. The Bow River Sim simulates water management decision-making based on maximizing social, economic, and environmental benefits while managing limited water supply. The game incorporates the principles of ‘meaningful play’ and provides a user-friendly interface, a fun game, and visual elements. The paper aims to (a) provide an overview of Bow River Sim, (b) illustrate how innovations such as serious games enhance learning processes for the user, and (c) illustrate the application of Bow River Sim and key learnings.

Abstract:
Traditionally, macrophyte density has been considered the primary factor affecting the large dissolved oxygen fluctuations in the Bow River. After a major flood event scoured macrophytes in 2005, and subsequently changed river dynamics, the City of Calgary needed to update their predictive computer model for water quality to reflect the new conditions, which led to this study. A 2006 aquatic vegetation survey was also completed to assess post-flood conditions. The survey found that the average macrophyte dry weight was much lower (28 g/m2 ± 100 (p = 0.05)) than the historic average of 241 g/m2 ± 29, while the average periphyton chlorophyll-a concentration was higher (343 mg/m2 ± 71) than the historic average (158 mg/m2 ± 17)). Dissolved oxygen (DO) fluctuations were similar to pre-flood levels despite changes in the dominant vegetation. Using the results of this survey, the significant and previously unrecognized effects of periphyton diurnal processes on DO concentrations in the Bow River were identified and the Bow River water quality model (BRWQM) was recalibrated to reflect these findings. Adjustments were made to the BRWQM’s periphyton submodel to account for the more dominant role played by these organisms in river processes, and a competitive shading factor between macrophytes and periphyton was also introduced to more accurately model the species' competition for available sunlight. This newly calibrated and validated version of BRWQM was tested and found capable of predicting the occurrence of low DO concentrations in the Bow River and can provide a useful tool for forecasting the water quality effects of the city's planned wastewater infrastructure expansion.

Abstract:
A newly discovered molluscan fauna provides an approximate age for a previously undated gravel sequence capping Nose Hill, a relict plateau adjacent to the Bow River in Calgary, Alberta, and constrains the age of the physiographic relief in the area. The fauna consists of a mixed terrestrial–aquatic assemblage whose composition indicates a paleoclimatic regime similar to that of the area today. The fossiliferous sediment, interpreted as a pond deposit, is a pebbly mud within a thick braid-plain gravel sequence. Isoleucine epimerization in the molluscs is not inconsistent with an Early Pleistocene or older age for the deposit. The Nose Hill gravels and an equivalent sequence capping another outlier (Broadcast Hill) located on the other side of the Bow River define an originally extensive paleo-plains surface. Fluvial dissection of the surface, including 175 m of incision by the Bow River and resultant separation of the two outliers, occurred within the last one to two million years.

Abstract. Observations of high-elevation meteorological conditions, glacier mass balance, and glacier run-off are sparse in western Canada and the Canadian Rocky Mountains, leading to uncertainty about the importance of glaciers to regional water resources. This needs to be quantified so that the impacts of ongoing glacier recession can be evaluated with respect to alpine ecology, hydroelectric operations, and water resource management. In this manuscript the seasonal evolution of glacier run-off is assessed for an alpine watershed on the continental divide in the Canadian Rocky Mountains. The study area is a headwaters catchment of the Bow River, which flows eastward to provide an important supply of water to the Canadian prairies. Meteorological, snowpack, and surface energy balance data collected at Haig Glacier from 2002 to 2013 were analysed to evaluate glacier mass balance and run-off. Annual specific discharge from snow- and ice-melt on Haig Glacier averaged 2350 mm water equivalent from 2002 to 2013, with 42% of the run-off derived from melting of glacier ice and firn, i.e. water stored in the glacier reservoir. This is an order of magnitude greater than the annual specific discharge from non-glacierized parts of the Bow River basin. From 2002 to 2013, meltwater derived from the glacier storage was equivalent to 5–6% of the flow of the Bow River in Calgary in late summer and 2–3% of annual discharge. The basin is typical of most glacier-fed mountain rivers, where the modest and declining extent of glacierized area in the catchment limits the glacier contribution to annual run-off.

Abstract:
The Little Bow River Project was implemented in 2003 and includes Alberta’s newest dam. The Project involves tripling the diversion of water from the Highwood River to the Little Bow River and subsequently storing the water in the Twin Valley Reservoir. This MSc Thesis provided part of the environmental monitoring for that Project and particularly investigated the impacts of augmented flows on the river channel and riparian vegetation along the upper reach of the Little Bow River. An initial component of the long-term study was to determine the existing associations between fluvial geomorphic characteristics and riparian plant communities. Poplar (Populus balsamifera L.), willow (Salix bebbiana Sargent and S. exigua Nutt.) and wolf-willow (Elaeagnus commutata Bernh.) communities were located along the upper section of the river, where the channel had a steeper gradient and was narrower and more sinuous. Cattail (Typha latifolia L.) and grass (grasses and sedges) communities were generally located along the lower section of the river that was shallower in gradient, wider and straighter. Plant community distribution also reflected impacts from cattle grazing. Initial channel and vegetation responses in the first two years following the increase in flow augmentation were slight and included bank slumping, sediment scour and inundation of flooded zones. The initial responses are consistent with the primary prediction of channel widening and this will probably be associated with some changes in the adjacent riparian plant communities.

Abstract:
In Canada and New Zealand there are increasing calls for recognition of aboriginal rights which previously were ignored or denied because of the application of English law to concepts of property rights and ownership. English legal principles are vitally important in Canadian and New Zealand society, but there has always been room for local adaptations which could have recognised the existing practices and rights of the indigenous peoples. The English law makes various assumptions about ownership of rivers, dividing them into bed, banks and water, and applying various tests of adjoining occupation, tidalness and navigability to determine rights. Aboriginal property rights have been guaranteed and protected by various mechanisms such as government policy, treaty, and the courts, but there is uncertainty about the status of rivers. The form of the survey definition of reserves and rivers is also fundamental to how property rights may be determined. This thesis examines the situation of rivers in Canada and New Zealand through common law, treaty provisions and through what is now, a developing body of applicable and recognised customary/Aboriginal law. From these three legal foundations, a case study approach focuses on the practical situation of the Siksika people on the Bow River in southern Alberta, and the Kai Tahu on the Taieri River in Otago. This investigation concludes that there are various legal mechanisms by which indigenous people may claim rights to the rivers with which they have a relationship; by resorting to English common law principles; by applying new and developing conceptualisations of customary and aboriginal rights doctrines; by appealing to tribunals examining treaty agreements; or by direct negotiation with the Crown. All of these processes require evidence of past and current relationships, use and occupation of rivers by the indigenous claimants. Current undisputed possession and control may be a satisfactory outcome, but ultimately an acknowledgement of ownership may depend on politically negotiated settlements.

Abstract:
A methodology Is presented in this thesis which addresses the water quality manager's problem of maximizing the biochemical oxygen demand loadings in reaches of a tidal river, subject to dissolved oxygen concentration regulation at various compliance levels. The non-linear tidal dynamics and BOD-DO processes were explicitly accounted for by numerical, finite-difference models incorporated as equality and inequality constraints of a non-linear programming problem solved by a direct search algorithm. This methodology was applied to the Nicomekl River in Surrey B.C., to investigate policy implications and its applicability, using a microcomputer, to the resolution of actual pollution management problems.

Abstract:
Widespread Lake Bonneville sediments have been modified by river aggradation and degradation associated with Holocene fluctuations in the Great Salt Lake. Exposures of exceptionally abundant and well-preserved molluscan deposits in the Bear River Valley, Utah, allow detailed paleoenvironmental reconstruction of Holocene environments. The exposed basal unit consists of largely unfossiliferous deltaic silts and clays deposited during Lake Bonneville time ( roughly 11,000 - 13,000 yr B. P.). An unconformity representing at least 2000 yr separates the deltaic material from overlying highly fossiliferous stream sands. Eight species of molluscs, comprising a single community, occupied this low energy stream environment at 7690 ± 270 14C yr B. P. A second unconformity separates these sands from a dark brown silt unit deposited by a river-associated environment, most likely an over-bank marsh, at 2420 ± 135 14C yr B. P. Nine species of molluscs, comprising 3 communities, were present in this environment. Analysis of size-frequency distributions, percentage of pelecypod valves, preservation, and orientation of the shells that were present in each environment suggests that the 7690 ± 270 14c yr B. P. fossil assemblage has been only slightly altered by biostratinomic processes. The younger assemblage has also been altered, with the size-frequency curves of the smallest gastropods displaying normal distributions. Geomorphic and stratigraphic data from the Malad River show that water levels in the Great Salt Lake twice rose and fell significantly during the Holocene epoch. The oldest rise, to an altitude of at least 1288 m, occurred before 7690 ± 270 yr B. P., perhaps in response to a worldwide period of climatic cooling. This high-stand was followed by a fall of lake level roughly corresponding to the classic Hypsithermal Interval, about 7000 - 5000 yr B. P. A second rise occurred by 2420 ± 135 yr B. P., when the Great Salt Lake rose to approximately 1286 m. During this second rise, the Malad River overflowed its levees and later, as the Great Salt Lake receded for a second time, the river was captured by a headward-cutting tributary of the Bear River. The regional distribution of the fossiliferous deposits was controlled by the time at which capture occurred. Capture of the Malad channel by the Bear River occurred after the last fossiliferous sediments were deposited; thus no fossils are found downstream from the point of capture.

Abstract:
Much of our current understanding of prehistoric human behavioural patterns during the Stone Age, is derived particularly from a robust set of chronological and technological sequences from caves and rock shelters, with some focus on open-air sites. The information gained from shelters cannot be ignored or downplayed, however, they offer a spatially and temporally limited view of prehistoric lifeways. The aim of this thesis is to provide an understanding of landscape use during the Stone Ages along the Bos River in the Tankwa Karoo, Northern Cape. Surveys were carried out around the Bos River, with the intention of mapping out and analysing all the surface stone artefacts. Analysing at the scale of the individual artefact, particularly temporally iconic artefacts, permits the landscape, although geologically and ecologically variable, to be viewed as a continuous space. The benefit of this approach allows for all artefacts across all types of settings to be analysed, providing a spatially subjective distribution of artefacts across the landscape. The evidence described in this thesis demonstrates an episodic occupation of the Tankwa Karoo during periods of increased resources, particularly the availability of food. The Bos River is a low-energy river that receives little rain and does not facilitate the formation of large rounded cobbles and boulders, explaining the lack of an occupation during the Earlier Stone Age (ESA), whereas an expedient organisation of locally sourced raw materials for stone tools characterise the Middle Stone Age (MSA) and Later Stone Age (LSA) periods in the Tankwa Karoo.

Abstract:
In the summer of 2000, TransCanada PipeLines Ltd. (TransCanada) upgraded portions of the Western Alberta System (WAS) NPS 36 gas pipeline through the town of Cochrane Alberta. The pipeline upgrade required the installation of new sections of pipe to meet the higher Class Location designation due to population density increase. Environmental concerns, expressed by federal and provincial regulators and the Cochrane community for the in-stream disturbance associated with a conventional “open cutting” installation, prompted TransCanada to design a directionally drilled crossing. A unique challenge to this project was the Bow River crossing within a congested and restricted right of way. The project team developed and implemented a series of innovative solutions which led to the successful conclusion of the project in September 2000. This paper summarizes the unique design and construction implemented in this project.

Abstract:
A 3D water entry of a typical bow model of sea-river link ship is studied using both experimental measurements and numerical predictions. A large number of systematic experiments have been performed with different pitch angles. The slamming process is simulated through finite element method with LS-DYNA. The distribution and magnitude of slam induced loads is determined from experiments and is calculated. The effect of the pitch angle and impact velocity is discussed based on the comparison between the predicted results and the experiments values.

Abstract:
<p>This project included the construction of a new three-span, 170 m-long steel box girder bridge to replace the existing St. George’s Island Bridge over the Bow River. The new bridge is composed of variable depth (arched), rectangular, steel box girders. Flood resiliency and sustainability were major considerations in the design of the bridge. The girders have a curved profile that allows for the majority of the superstructure to sit at least 1 m above the 1:100 year flood level. To minimize the work required over the river, full-depth, full-width, precast concrete deck panels were used. The panel-to-panel and panel-to-girder connections were made with Ultra-High-Performance Concrete (UHPC). Continuity of bridges with full-depth precast panels is usually provided by longitudinal post-tensioning. This was not preferred due to concerns about future deck rehabilitations. Therefore, the design relies on reinforcement splices for continuity. UHPC made it possible to transfer longitudinal forces in relatively short splice lengths. To verify the efficiency of these connections, some of the panels and connecting joints were instrumented with wireless strain gauges to monitor force transfer between adjacent panels. The paper includes a description of the bridge structure (girders and the precast deck panels) and the initial results of the strain monitoring.</p>

Abstract:
Pusher-barge system with different maneuvering and propulsion devices were modeled and analyzed. Both azimuth thrusters and conventional propulsion system (which is composed by rudder and propeller) were considered in the pusher. An additional azimuth thruster installed on the bow of the barges was also analyzed, in order to increase the maneuverability of the convoy. Hydrodynamic derivatives for different pusher-barge configurations used in Tietê-Paraná river (B × L = 2 × 3, 1 × 2 and 1 × 1) were obtained from previously published works and complemented by captive model tests and CFD calculation executed in the context of the present project, presented in a complementary paper in this conference Grassi et al. (2013). Numerical models for each propulsion and maneuvering devices were obtained by standard formulations. A time-domain simulator was then implemented and the standard zig-zag and turning circle tests were simulated to compare performance of the different maneuvering and propulsion devices. It was verified that pushers equipped with azimuth thrusters can increase the maneuverability of the system for slow speed navigation. For higher speeds, the conventional rudder and propeller pusher presents similar or even better maneuvering properties, since the effectiveness of the rudder increases. The additional bow azimuth thruster can also improve maneuverability parameters, since the force applied at the bow increases the turning moment. However, its efficiency depends also on the speed and the instantaneous pivot-point of pusher-barge system. A broad discussion about the advantages and physical limitations of this additional bow azimuth thruster is presented.

Abstract:
The cost, design, and in some instances, feasibility of directional drilling large diameter or lengthy pipeline river crossings is primarily dependent on ground conditions encountered during construction. Geotechnical investigations are commonly used to explore and assess subsurface conditions at proposed crossings. Ground conditions are determined using borehole drilling and near surface geophysics. Borehole drilling provides subsurface sediment stratigraphy and depth to bedrock information. Geophysics is used to provide information between borehole locations or where borehole drilling is determined to be too difficult or too costly. When used to augment borehole results, geophysical surveys provide more complete geologic cross-section models throughout the length of a proposed directional drill path. This paper presents an overview of the more common geophysical methodologies used to profile subsurface conditions at proposed pipeline crossings. The methods discussed include ground penetrating radar (GPR), seismic refraction profiling and electrical resistivity tomography (ERT). The appropriateness and feasibility of each method is discussed in terms relating to investigation objectives of geotechnical and pipeline design engineers. All three methods were applied to two survey lines at a typical river crossing site on the Bow River, downstream from Calgary, Alberta. Results from the overlapping surveys are presented and the capabilities and limitations for each method compared. Borehole information obtained within the survey area is used to corroborate the interpreted geophysical results.

Full text
Abstract:
In this paper a boat simulator is designed using parallel manipulators. The simulator allows the training of five or seven people in a river environment. Due to the high payload and high inertial forces, it was proposed to divide the simulator into various synchronized platforms. Additionally different configurations of mechanisms were evaluated as well as linear or rotational actuation. The dimensional synthesis was performed by introducing a power index based on the Virtual Work equations of motion, and applying Genetic Algorithms for optimization. This design process results in using two coordinated manipulators with rotational actuators. The first one has two degrees of freedom (pitch and roll); it will simulate the motion of the boat’s stern. The second one has three degrees of freedom: pitch, roll and heave; and simulates the motion of the boat’s bow. The detail design was concluded and the manipulators were built. A real time controller is under design nowdays and the integration of the fluid and the boat dynamics into the inverse dynamics analysis of the manipulators is proposed as future work.

Abstract:
Subsea equipment such as the drilling riser and the subsea Blow-Out Preventer (BOP) are mandatory in traditional systems used in deep sea drilling for ocean floor research and petroleum wellbore construction. The drilling riser is the vertical steel pipe that transfers and guides the drill column and attached drilling bit into a wellbore at the sea bottom. The BOP is used to protect the wellbore against uncontrolled well pressures during the offshore drilling operation. Presently, there is a high level of drilling activity worldwide and in particular in deeper and ultra-deeper waters. This shift in depth necessitates not only faster drilling systems but drilling rigs upgraded with a capacity to drill in the deep water. In this scenario, two general drilling systems are today considered as alternatives: the traditional system with the subsea BOP and the alternate system with the surface BOP. In the present paper, the two systems are initially described in detail, and a numerical simulation in time domain to estimate the system behavior is presented. Simulations of a floating drilling rig coupled with the subsea and surface BOP in waves and current are carried out for a comparison between the two methods. Results are shown for riser and BOP displacements. Critical riser issues for the systems are discussed, comparing results from both drilling system calculations. Conclusions are addressed showing advantages and disadvantages of each drilling system, and indicating how to correct the problems detected on each system.
