Abstract: Besides providing an exact solution for steady-state heat conduction processes (Laplace-Poisson equations), the CVBEM (complex variable boundary element method) can be used for the numerical error ...

Abstract: In practice, runoff peak flow rates are typically estimated by the rational method, a design storm unit hydrograph (UH) method, or a statistical regression equation. In this technical note, the balanced design storm UH ...

Abstract: Given a set of realizations of error data (i.e., the difference between model runoff estimates and stream gauge data) from rainfall-runoff hydrologic models, it is possible to generate a set of error transfer function ...

Abstract: For slowly moving freezing fronts in soil, the heat-transport equation may be approximated by the Laplacian of temperature. Consequently, potential theory may be assumed to apply and the temperature ...

Abstract: There is no agreement on the best way to develop flood frequency curves and synthesize runoff peak flow rate data, and no precise procedure which applies to all cases of flood frequency statistics. Consequently it is prudent ...

Abstract: A method of approximating the solution of the Laplace equation in two‐dimensions is presented. The numerical approach is to determine a complex variable polynomial which satisfies the specified boundary conditions along a ...

Abstract: The standard kinematic wave (KW) method used in many models of open channel flow routing of runoff hydrographs in watershed models is examined as to the significance of the computational errors due to numerical‐diffusion ...

Abstract: The rational-method equation for estimating peak flow rates for storm-water runoff is derived from the balanced-design storm unit hydrograph approach presented in the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers HEC Training Document 15. ...

Abstract: A two-dimensional model of coupled heat and moisture flow in frost-heaving soils is developed based upon well known equations of heat and moisture flow in soils. Numerical solution is by the ...
