Abstract: A finite‐element density‐homogeneous lake circulation model is coupled to a finite‐segment water quality model for phytoplankton modeling in the embayments of lakes. This coupled model is applied to the Rochester Embayment, ...

Abstract: The mean-value first-order second-moment (MFOSM) method is the main method for estimating the reliability of slopes in practice. It is well recognized that the method occasionally underestimates the probability of failure ...

Abstract: The purpose of this study is to develop a working model for the least‐cost optimal design of a storm sewer system, including the construction and operational costs of pumping stations. The new model is a modification of ...

Abstract: This paper develops a nonlinear programming model to optimally design a settling basin for a small-scale drainage area with a minimum total cost. It is assumed that the shape of the settling basin is rectangular parallelepiped, ...

Abstract: A water quality and ecosystem model is developed to simulate nutrients, heavy metals, and aquatic plants in the Erh-Chung Flood Way wetland in Taiwan. A sediment system was incorporated into the model. The RMA2 and WASP/EUTRO5 ...

Abstract: In most hydrodynamic models, friction and turbulent diffusion/dispersion coefficients are the important calibration parameters affecting the calculation of surface elevation, velocity and salinity distribution. This paper ...

Abstract: Risk and uncertainty analysis by mathematical and statistical methods is often used to assess systematic risks and uncertainties. This research presents the procedure and application of risk and reliability analysis to dam ...

Abstract: This paper reports the development and application of a modeling package for the real‐time operation of Feitsui and Shihmen Reservoirs in the Tanshui River Basin, Taiwan, the Republic of China. The modeling package consists ...

Abstract: The WASP/EUTRO model was used to model a low dissolved oxygen (DO) stream in Taiwan as part of the water quality management effort to restore the stream. The low DO is the result of industrial wastewater discharges causing ...
