Abstract: Assuming time-averaged velocity as a random variable, this study develops an entropy theory for deriving the one-dimensional distribution of velocity in open channels. The theory includes five parts: (1) Tsallis entropy; ...

Abstract: Assuming time-averaged velocity as a random variable, this study develops an entropy theory for deriving two-dimensional (2D) distribution of velocity in open channels. The theory comprises five parts: (1) Tsallis entropy; ...

Abstract: An improved accurate closed-form wave function analytic solution of two-dimensional scattering and diffraction of antiplane SH waves by a semicircular cylindrical hill on an elastic half space is presented. In the previous ...
