HEC Activities in Reservoir Analysis
Over the last 15 years, The Hydrologic Engineering Center (HEC) has been developing, applying, and distributing computer programs dealing with various aspects of hydrologic engineering, including reservoir analysis. The Center has developed several models for the simulation of reservoir operation and has supported the development of a water quality model for reservoirs and rivers. This paper presents review of model development and an overview of the capabilities and types of applications for the most recent computer programs, 'Simulation of Flood Control and Conservation Systems' (HEC-5) and 'Water Quality for River-Reservoir Systems' (WQRRS). Also, current research and development dealing with reservoir analysis are described. (Author).
Potential Energy and Capacity Gains from Flood Control Storage Reallocation at Existing U.S. Hydropower Reservoirs
This paper describes the procedures and results of an investigation to evaluate potential increases in nationwide hydropower production that could be achieved by reallocation of flood control storage at existing hydropower reservoirs. One aspect of the investigation considered only the increase in energy that could be achieved by storage reallocation; a second aspect considered potential gains in both energy and capacity that could be achieved by adding to the existing installed capacity as well as storage reallocation. The investigation was performed by the Hydrologic Engineering Center of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, and is a component of a technical overview study which is part of the National Hydropower Study.

Application of the HEC-2 Bridge Routines
This document assists the HEC-2 program user in preparing input for the bridge routines. An understanding of the basic program input requirements was assumed. The program computes the energy loss caused by structures such as bridges and culverts in two parts. One part consists of the losses that occur in reaches immediately upstream and downstream from the bridge where contraction and expansion of the flow is taking place. The second part consists of losses at the structure itself. As an alternative to having the program compute the losses, it is possible to input a loss (or water surface elevation) determined externally from the program. Appendixes contain examples of three different types of computer runs. The HEC-2 Users Manual, available from The Hydrologic Engineering Center provides the input specifications for the program. User Manual editions since August 1979 include this training document as an appendix. (Author).
Application of the Finite Element Method to Vertically Stratified Hydrodynamic Flow and Water Quality
Computer program RMA-7 has been expanded to be able to simulate density induced flows and water quality conditions typically found in deep reservoirs. The mathematical basis for the program and methods of implementing the code for various kinds of flow are discussed. Results from two different applications are presented. The first example simualtes flow conditions that were measured in a physical model of a deep reservoir. Results are also included for simulations of the circulation, temperature and dissolved oxygen concentrations for Lake Taneycomo, Missouri. Comparison of measured and computed results from both applications shows that the RMA-7 model provides reasonably accurate results for both flow circulating and water quality. (Author).
