Abstract: Propagation of flood waves in an open channel can be mathematically approximated by the Saint-Venant equations (dynamic wave) or by their simplifications including the kinematic wave, noninertia wave, gravity wave, and ...

Abstract: This paper begins with a comprehensive review of various point estimate methods, with an emphasis on their differences and similarities in theory and application. The Rosenblueth probabilistic point estimate method is a ...

Abstract: A novel application of the Hilbert-Huang transform (HHT) method for the analysis of nonstationary and nonlinear time series is proposed in this paper. The HHT is introduced to the field of water quality analysis both to ...

Abstract: A three-point approximation method, the perturbance moments method (PMM), is applied to quantify the uncertainty of predicted dissolved oxygen (DO) concentrations in the Buffalo River that arise from data variability and ...

Abstract: A stochastic partial differential equation-based model has been derived based on the law of mass conservation and the Langevin equation of particle displacement to simulate suspended sediment transport in open-channel ...

Abstract: In the calculation of the total maximum daily load (TMDL), the margin of safety (MOS) is an attempt to account for the uncertainties related to the conceptual representation of the system and the inherently random nature ...

Abstract: In this study, transport of mixed-size sediment particles under steady flow is described using the continuous-time Markov process. The continuous behavior of particle movement among the immobile bed material, bedload, and ...

Abstract: Propagation of shallow water waves in viscous open-channel flows that are convectively accelerating or decelerating under gradually varying water surface profiles is theoretically investigated. Issues related to the ...

Abstract: Suspended sediment concentrations are typically estimated using either the advection-diffusion equation or sediment rating curves in a deterministic manner. This study attempts to develop a stochastic approach for quantifying ...
