Estimation of Mean Velocity in Natural Channels Based on Chiu’s Velocity Distribution Equation
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The applicability of the linear relationship between the mean and the maximum flow velocities, based on the entropy concept, was investigated using data collected during a period of 20 years for four gauged river sections ...
Laboratory Experimental Investigation of Infiltration by the Run-on Process
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper describes laboratory experiments that provide evidence of infiltration of excess runoff water from upstream areas that moves downslope over unsaturated areas (run-on process). The experiments were carried out ...
Comparison of Theoretical and Experimental Soil Moisture Profiles under Complex Rainfall Patterns
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The accuracy of soil moisture vertical profiles simulated by a conceptual model during erratic rainfall is investigated through laboratory and field experiments. Simulations were performed by a conceptual model earlier ...
A New Empirical Formulation of the Areal Reduction Factor for Design Rainfalls Applied to the Umbria Region in Central Italy
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: A reliable estimate of the areal reduction factor (ARF), useful for implementing the upscaling procedure of point rainfall information, is of crucial relevance in many hydrological applications aimed at hydraulic structures ...
