Abstract: The effect of correlation among the input parameters and variables on the output uncertainty of the Streeter‐Phelps water‐quality model is examined. Three uncertainty analysis techniques are used: sensitivity analysis, ...

Abstract: The overall performance of 18 commonly used reaeration rate coefficient prediction equations was evaluated using statistical metrics of prediction accuracy and bias by comparing predicted reaeration coefficients to a ...

Abstract: The genetic algorithm (GA) is used as an optimization tool to estimate water quality model parameters in a calibration scenario. The GA is found to be a useful calibration tool, capable of providing least-squares parameter ...

Abstract: The Stream Water Quality Model

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 ...

Abstract: Reactor experiments were conducted to study aerobic sulfide oxidation in pulp and paper wastewaters under typical operating conditions. Data produced from these experiments were used to develop a set of sequential rate ...

Abstract: The results of experiments on a small scale steel frame model are presented to support the “displacement equation error function,”“displacement output error function,” and “strain output error function” methods of structural ...
