Abstract: The concept of entropy based on probability has been applied in modeling the vertical distributions of the velocity, shear stress, and (suspended) sediment concentration in open‐channel flows. A velocity distribution ...

Abstract: Velocity distribution equations for open channel flows are derived and compared. These equations are derived by a combined application of: (1) A probabilistic formulation of the velocity distribution problem; (2) the entropy ...

Abstract: Equations based on the entropy concept have been derived for describing the two‐dimensional velocity distribution in an openchannel cross section. The velocity equation derived is capable of describing the variation of ...

Abstract: The use of the variational principle to maximize the entropy is illustrated for possible applications in open‐channel flow study. The illustrations include those in: (1) Modeling of velocity distribution by probabilistic ...

Abstract: Prediction of snowmelt runoff is one of the most important problems in the determination of optimum use of water resources. In this study, the combined snowmelt and rainfall runoff during the snowmelt period is predicted ...

Abstract: A mathematical modeling technique is presented which is capable of simulating various patterns of primary flow velocity distribution which may have the point of maximum velocity on or below the water surface. The simulated ...

Abstract: A parameter estimation method has been developed for a system of three‐dimensional mathematical model of flow in open channels, which does not require (primary flow) velocity data. It has broadened the applicability and ...

Abstract: Maximum velocity in a channel section often occurs below the water surface. Its location is linked to the ratio of the mean and maximum velocities, velocity distribution parameter, location of mean velocity, energy and ...
