Abstract: Field studies reporting coefficients of temporal skewness that do not decrease in the main flow direction have cast doubt on the transient storage (TS) or dead zone model of longitudinal dispersion in rivers and streams. ...

Abstract: Tracer experiments are widely used tools in field studies on solute transport in streams. In addition, numerous injections are carried out each year as part of the so-called salt dilution technique of stream gauging, ...

Abstract: Longitudinal solute transport modeling requires knowledge of the transport parameters involved. At best, these parameters have been estimated from stream tracer experiments, usually conducted, however, at flow rates different ...

Abstract: Artificial neural networks (ANNs) are flexible tools from neuroinformatics that have performed well in a number of hydrologic applications so far. They tend to be particularly useful when applied to complex processes, the ...

Abstract: Salt tracer experiments are a cost-effective tool widely used in studies of flow and transport in free surface flows. Whereas in a large majority of rivers and streams, fully turbulent conditions achieve rapid vertical ...

Abstract: The study of ventricular mechanics—analyzing the distribution of strain and stress in myocardium throughout the cardiac cycle—is crucially dependent on the accuracy of the constitutive law chosen ...

Abstract: Estimating material parameters is an important part in the study of soft tissue mechanics. Computational time can easily run to days, especially when all available experimental data are taken ...
