Some Comments on the Entropy-Based Criteria for Piping
(2015-04-15)
This paper is an extension of previous work which characterises soil behaviours using the grading entropy diagram. The present work looks at the piping process in granular soils, by considering some new data from ...

Integrating Entropy and Copula Theories for Hydrologic Modeling and Analysis
(2015-04-15)
Entropy is a measure of uncertainty and has been commonly used for various applications, including probability inferences in hydrology. Copula has been widely used for constructing joint distributions to model the dependence ...
Cistern Project for Domestic Water use in Semi-Arid Regions
(International Journal of Engineering Research and Technology, 2016-03-03)
Water scarcity in semi-arid regions compromises the quality of life, principally human health, in these regions. The use of cisterns with adequate dimensions, that ensure the minimum of water required to meet human needs, ...
Solute transport under steady and transient conditions in biodegraded municipal solid waste
(American Geophysical Union, 1999-08)
The transport of a conservative tracer (lithium) in a large (3.5 m3) undisturbed municipal solid waste sample has been investigated under steady and fully transient conditions using a simple model. The model comprises a ...
A kinematic model for surface irrigation: Verification by experimental data
(American Geophysical Union, 1983-12)
A kinematic model for surface irrigation is verified by experimental data obtained for 31 borders. These borders are of varied characteristics. Calculated values of advance times, water surface profiles when water reaches ...
Kinematic wave model for water movement in municipal solid waste
(American Geophysical Union, 1998-11)
The movement of water in a large (3.5 m3) undisturbed sample of 22-year-old municipal solid waste has been modeled using a kinematic wave approximation for unsaturated infiltration and internal drainage. The model employs ...
Kinematic wave model of bed profiles in alluvial channels
(American Geophysical Union, 2006-06-21)
A mathematical model, based on the kinematic wave (KW) theory, is developed for describing the evolution and movement of bed profiles in alluvial channels. The model employs a functional relation between sediment transport ...
Kinematic wave model for transient bed profiles in alluvial channels under nonequilibrium conditions
(American Geophysical Union, 2007-12-27)
Transient bed profiles in alluvial channels are generally modeled using diffusion (or dynamic) waves and assuming equilibrium between detachment and deposition rates. Equilibrium sediment transport can be considerably ...
