Abstract: The quantile prediction accuracy of the log-Pearson type III (LP3) distribution depends largely on the accuracy of the parameter-estimation method used. The performance of a parameter-estimation method, on the other hand, ...

Abstract: A regional frequency analysis procedure is outlined and applied to precipitation data in Louisiana. A total of 92 rain gauges were used to generate 25 synthesized stations with long periods of record. Annual maximum series ...

Abstract: In this study, a number of theoretical improvements were made to the finite‐element formulation for modeling three‐dimensional steady and unsteady ground‐water flow. First, the Galerkin method was combined with the collocation ...

Abstract: Five major modifications to the Galerkin finite-element formulation for solute transport were made in this study: (1) A mixed formulation for the time-derivative term of the governing equation was developed by combining ...

Abstract: Maximum annual 24‐hour rainfall maps for return periods of 2, 5, 10, 25, 50, and 100 years were developed by using hourly precipitation data. Data from 92 rain gauges for the period of 1948 to 1987 were compiled and combined ...

Abstract: Models for one‐, two‐, and three‐dimensional infiltration for irrigation are derived using an energy equation and Darcy's law. The models were verified with Fok and Chiang's (4) experimental data. A good agreement is found ...

Abstract: For the cloud cavitation around slender axisymmetric projectiles, a twodimensional (2D) numerical method was based on the mixture approach with Singhal cavitation model and modified renormalizationgroup (RNG) k–خµ ...

Abstract: In this technical brief, the effect of adding silver (Ag) nanoparticles of various shapes on the thermal conductivity enhancement of ethylene glycol (EG)based suspensions was investigated experimentally. These included Ag ...
