Proposal for a Workshop on Equipment and Facilities Needs for Hydraulic Research at The US Army Engineers Waterways Experiment Station, in Vicksburg, Mississippi, January 1991

将为一个关于水力研究设备和设施未来需要的讲习班提供部分支助。需要考虑的一个重要领域是泥沙的力学和运移，包括非粘性和粘性。计算和建模方面的进步使得需要定义仪器和设施方面的要求，以便使物理数据与这些进步保持兼容。泥沙积聚、疏浚、径流和废物处理是泥沙和水力学管理的例子，其预测目前是不可靠的，而现代实验设施将产生重大影响。

Partial support is to be provided for a workshop on future needs in equipment and facilities for hydraulic research. One of the important areas for consideration is mechanics and transport of sediment, both non-cohesive and cohesive. Advances in computation and modeling have created a need to define requirements in instrumentation and facilities in order for physical data to remain compatible with these advances. Sediment accumulation, dredging, run-off, and waste disposal are examples of sediment and hydraulics management whose prediction is at present unreliable, and where modern experimental facilities would have significant impact.
