FESWMS-TX TWO-DIMENSIONAL ANALYSIS OF BACKWATER AT BRIDGES: USER'S GUIDE AND APPLICATIONS. PHASE TWO

The objective of this project has been to modify and apply the computer program (FESWMS-TX) for the two-dimensional hydrodynamic analysis of backwater at bridges. The work performed has been to simplify use of the computer program so that it may eventually become a part of the THYSYS system that is used throughout the Texas State Department of Highway and Public Transportation. Application of the model to a portion of Walnut Creek near Martin Luther King Blvd., in Austin, Texas, was performed to help identify the various needed modifications. A second objective was to demonstrate the use of Intergraph graphic capabilities to develop input for thee FESWMS-TX model. An application to the confluence of two streams near Rosebud, Texas, was used to demonstrate the graphics procedure. A detailed user's manual has been developed, which is a major part of this report.
