Impact of Transient Flow on Subsurface Solute Transport with Exponentially Time-Dependent Flow Velocity
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)The groundwater flow velocity might be temporally variable instead of being a constant as most analytical solutions of solute transport in the subsurface commonly assume. This study investigates the impact of transient ... -
Influence of Sea Level Rise on Multiobjective Management of Saltwater Intrusion in Coastal Aquifers
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)This study demonstrates the influence of climate change-induced sea level rise on multiobjective saltwater intrusion management strategies in coastal aquifers. Three metamodels were developed from the solutions of a numerical ... -
Uncertainty Analysis of Flood Control Measures Including Epistemic and Aleatory Uncertainties: Probability Theory and Evidence Theory
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)Encountering uncertainty in engineering design problems is inevitable. Probability theory is a traditional method for uncertainty analysis despite the nature of uncertainties (i.e., aleatory or epistemic). Because of ... -
One-Dimensional Linear Kinematic Wave Solution for Overland Flow under Moving Storms Using the Method of Characteristics
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)The kinematic wave theory has been a widely accepted technique for modeling overland flow. Although it is recognized that overland flow is nonlinear, linear approximations have nonetheless been applied and found to be ... -
Using Functional Data Analysis to Calibrate and Evaluate Hydrological Model Performance
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)The performance of a hydrological model depends strongly on the calibration procedure, and in particular on the goodness-of-fit measure used. It is widely recognized that traditional goodness-of-fit measures such as the ... -
Modeling Infiltration and Runoff with Surface Crust under Unsteady Rainfalls
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)This study develops a new analytical model to simulate the infiltration and runoff with a crust surface. The new model consists of two parts: (1) an infiltration capacity model using a linear rate-moisture relation ... -
Results from Operational Hydrologic Forecasts Using the NOAA/NWS OHRFC Ohio River Community HEC-RAS Model
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)Analyses of hydrologic forecasts from the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), National Weather Service (NWS) (NOAA/NWS) Ohio River Community Hydrologic Engineering Center River Analysis System (HEC-RAS) ... -
New Approach for Simulating Groundwater Flow in Discrete Fracture Network
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)In this study, a new approach is developed to compute groundwater flow rate and hydraulic head distribution in a two-dimensional discrete fracture network (DFN) in which both laminar and inertial flows coexist in individual ... -
New Approach to Identifying Critical Initial Conditions for Extreme Flood Simulations in a Semicontinuous Simulation Framework
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)Extreme flood simulation with synthetic extreme precipitation events raises unavoidable questions about the choice of initial conditions. State-of-the-art extreme flood estimation frameworks propose to address these questions ... -
Curve Number Approach to Estimate Monthly and Annual Direct Runoff
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)This paper establishes a novel approach to estimate monthly and annual direct runoff by combining the curve number method of the Natural Resources Conservation Service with an exponential distribution of rainfall depths. ... -
