Abstract: This paper presents a kinetic theory for modeling the vertical profile of particle concentration in dilute and dense solid-liquid flow conditions. The kinetic theory properly describes the mechanism of suspended sediment ...

Abstract: Vegetation and erosion are a pair of competing and interactive factors that affect the quality of watershed ecosystems. The objective of this study is to develop an innovative approach for conceptualizing and simulating ...

Abstract: Runoff in major rivers in China has been decreasing in recent decades. The attribution of hydrologic variability to human activity or climate change is a challenging problem and an active research area. In this study, a ...
