Entropy approach for 2D velocity distribution in open-channel flow
(2011-11-21)
In this paper, considering time-averaged velocity as a random variable, two-dimensional (2D) velocity distributions in open-channel flow have been derived based on the Shannon entropy concept and the principle of maximum ...
Derivation of 2D Power-Law Velocity Distribution Using Entropy Theory
(2013-04-08)
The one-dimensional (1D) power law velocity distribution, commonly used for computing velocities in open channel flow, has been derived empirically. However, a multitude of problems, such as scour around bridge piers, ...
Bivariate Rainfall and Runoff Analysis Using Entropy and Copula Theories
(2012-09-24)
Multivariate hydrologic frequency analysis has been widely studied using: (1) commonly known joint distributions or copula functions with the assumption of univariate variables being independently identically distributed ...
