Abstract: A model describing the application pattern produced by a single sprinkler is proposed. Based on calibrated statistical distributions and free from any ballistic consideration, this model uses a mixture of beta probability ...

Abstract: A distributional semiempirical model for the simulation of spatial distribution of water application under center pivot sprinklers has been developed by the writers. This method describes the probability of water application ...

Abstract: Municipal storage tanks are used to balance differences in supply and demand. Tanks have traditionally been sized based on deterministic criteria for balancing, fire, and emergency storage components. In this paper a ...

Abstract: Municipal storage tanks are normally sized according to inherently conservative design guidelines. An alternative way to determine the required size of a tank, on the basis of a stochastic analysis of the system, was ...
