Review for Engineering Registration

Laboratory Development: Fluid Mechanics Laboratory from September 1967 to September 1973. Some major pieces of equipment were acquired including the water table, the Coanda table, the hydraulic bench, the small wind tunnel, the spin table, etc. Several new experiments were developed and added to the instructional program.

Soil Erosion Research Laboratory from January 1998 to present.  The 2,000 square feet indoor space houses a test bed 3 m by 10 m with artificial rainfall, designed to emulate the natural rainfall with respect to drop-size distribution, drop fall velocity, and rainfall intensity and duration.  The slope of the test bed can be raised up to 26.60 .   The experimental study covers erosion rates of various soils and surface conditions.

COMPUTER MODELS DEVELOPED  Back to Top

Dr. Chang is the developer of the FLUVIAL-12 model for river sedimentation and channel changes. The model has been extensively tested and calibrated by field data.   It has been applied to over 100 river studies.  This model is also adopted by the Chinese National Academy of Sciences for use on the Yangtze River. 

Dr. Chang has also developed models for sediment yield analysis, hydrologic simulation, and culvert hydraulics.

CONSULTING EXPERIENCE  Back to Top

I have been involved in professional consulting since joining San Diego State University in 1967.  Within the general areas of hydraulics, hydrology, and sedimentation, I have been active in the flood plain mapping, channel design, hydrological simulation, watershed analysis, and river channel erosion and sedimentation.  I am the author of over 100 technical reports and several computer models for river morphology and fluvial river hydraulics. Among the professional activities, I have taught short courses on river and sedimentation engineering, hydrology for flood control, and the use of the HEC-2 and the FLUVIAL-12 programs.  I have served as a consultant for consulting firms, local, state, and federal governmental agencies, National Research Council and the United Nations.  An outline of technical activities is given below.

 

Channel Design - I have been responsible in many channel design projects, including the First San Diego River Improvement Project, the Rillito River Levee Design (18 miles), the Elfin Forest channel design, Santa Cruz River levee design (40 miles), San Vicente Creek channel design, high velocity channel and energy dissipator of Bullhead City, Arizona, and environmental channel of Carmel Valley.  In addition, I have served as a consultant to assist other engineers on design projects.

 

Hydrological Simulation - I have made the Floodwater Detention Basin Study for the City of Poway, Rattlesnake Dam Breach Study, and numerous designs and investigations involving hydrological simulation.  I am well familiar with such programs as TR-20 and HEC-1. I have also served as an expert witness involving flood damages.

 

River and Sediment Studies - I have developed the FLUVIAL-12 model for simulating river hydraulics, sediment transport, and river channel changes.  This model has been applied to the rivers listed below.  This model was adopted by Academia Sinica in 1998 as the model for the Yangtze River.  Data collection and model calibration were made in several cases.  I have also made studies of sediment yields from many natural and disturbed watershed, and sediment deliveries by river channels.
