Tools for Hydraulic Engineering

Introduction

This page contains several links to single or collections of java-applets. They are useful and instructive in connection with different problems related to coastal engineering as well as oceanography. Using these applets the user gets in touch with knowledge accumulated by others because many descriptions of relevant physical processes are available in analytical form. This may contribute to improve your basic understanding of the physical processes envolved and will give you an idea about important factors influencing the physical behaviour of the process you are interested in. You may use these applets at your own risk.

Java-Applets of the BAW - Department Hamburg

• Tidal Variations in Estuarine Channel by Andreas Malcherek:
• Hypsoapplet by Jens Jürges:

Storage capability calculations for the storm surge barrier at the river Ems near Gandersum.

The applet is available in German only.

• Bed Roughness Parameter Calculator by Andreas Malcherek:

Calculation of various bed roughness parameters

• Bend Flow Calculator by Andreas Malcherek:

Calculation of Bend Flows

• Vertical Velocity Profile by Peter Schade:

vertical and logarithmical profile of current velocity

• Lateral Velocity Profile by Susanne Spohr:

lateral profile of current velocity

Java-Applets of Other Institutes

Coastal Engineering

• Applets for Coastal Engineering by Robert A. Dalrymple, University of Delaware, Newark, U.S.A.:

• Hydrodynamics (superposition of waves, wind induced surge in a basin, etc.);
• Coastal Processes (sand transport, influence of a groin on a straight beach, etc.).
  

Oceanography

• Utilities by Matthias Tomczak, Flinders University, Australia (routines use JavaScript for data manipulation and Java applets for data display):

• Calculators to compute various numbers (density in dependence on temperature, salinity and pressure, sound speed, etc.);
• Graphing-Applets (co-oscillating tides and seiches in bays, etc.).
