Estimation of Harmonic Mean of a Lognormal Variable
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The harmonic mean has numerous engineering applications including characterization of the large-scale effective permeability in layered porous media, characterization of petrochemical properties of heterogeneous media, and ...
Optimal Location of Infiltration-Based Best Management Practices for Storm Water Management
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A distributed hydrologic model of an urban watershed in the northeast United States was developed and combined with a genetic algorithm to determine the optimal location of infiltration-based best management practices ...
Optimal Location of Sediment-Trapping Best Management Practices for Nonpoint Source Load Management
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Selecting approaches to managing nonpoint source pollution is challenging due to the complex generation and transport processes that influence the quantity of pollutant that eventually reaches a receiving water. Pollutant ...
Classic Optimization Techniques Applied to Stormwater and Nonpoint Source Pollution Management at the Watershed Scale
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Linear and dynamic programming formulations are introduced for optimizing the placement of distributed best management practices (BMPs) at the watershed scale. The results of linear programming optimization of infiltration-based ...
