Abstract: Reservoir operating rules are often based on deterministic models using critical period (CP) analysis, which results in very conservative decisions. CP is defined as the historical hydrologic period that includes the lowest ...

Abstract: The purpose of this study is to investigate the interacting mechanism between the saltating particles near the channel bed. A real-time flow visualization technique was developed to measure the interparticle collision ...

Abstract: The Illinois River is a tributary of the Mississippi River that connects Lake Michigan and the Mississippi River. Starting in 1848 when the Illinois and Michigan Canal began to open, the Illinois River has experienced some ...

Abstract: ainfall is a fundamental process in the hydrologic cycle. This study investigated the cause?effect relationship in which precipitation at lower frequencies affects the amount of emitted radiation and at higher frequencies ...

Abstract: Dam removal tends to produce a series of changes in river morphology. Whereas decisions pertaining to dam removal are typically evaluated from a deterministic viewpoint, this study develops a stochastic framework for ...

Abstract: Particle saltating motions during bed load transport are dominated by the forces acting upon particles and the random process of the particles impacting on and rebounding from the channel bed. A real-time flow visualization ...
