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 Rating Curves Using Entropy Theory
(American Society of Agricultural and Biological Engineers, 2010)
Using the entropy theory, this study derives the stage‐discharge relation, often called the rating curve, which is based on two simple constraints: (1) the total probability and (2) the mean logarithmic discharge. Parameters ...
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, ...
Derivation of Furrow Geometry Using Entropy Theory
(American Society of Agricultural and Biological Engineers, 2012)
The instantaneous unit hydrograph (IUH) is a commonly used method for computing surface runoff hydrographs from small watersheds. Assuming travel time as a random variable, a general equation for IUH is derived using the ...
An IUH Equation Based on Entropy Theory
(American Society of Agricultural and Biological Engineers, 2011)
The instantaneous unit hydrograph (IUH) is a commonly used method for computing surface runoff hydrographs from small watersheds. Assuming travel time as a random variable, a general equation for IUH is derived using the ...
