Zusammenfassung:After FHWA and Argonne TRACC researchers selected the best candidate from this large number of simulations, researchers from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers built a scale model and tested it in the Corps' laboratory to confirm that the optimized design provided the needed protection against scour. Today, FHWA and Argonne TRACC researchers have applied advanced computational methods to optimize the design of a new scour countermeasure, determine riprap size and assess riprap configuration, determine the hydraulic capacity of an ADA-compliant street drain grate, streamline pier extensions, aid in the development of an in situ sediment erosion testing device, and investigate and optimize various concepts to dissipate the flow energy at drainage outlets on steep slopes.
