    • Granulometric characterization of sediments transported by surface runoff generated by moving storms 
      de Lima, J. L. M. P.; Souza, C. C. S.; Singh, V. P. (Copernicus Publications on behalf of the European Geosciences Union and the American Geophysical Union, 2008-12-16)
      Due to the combined effect of wind and rain, the importance of storm movement to surface flow has long been recognized, at scales ranging from headwater scales to large basins. This study presents the results of laboratory ...
    • Hybrid fuzzy and optimal modeling for water quality evaluation 
      Wang, Dong; Singh, Vijay P.; Zhu, Yuansheng (American Geological Union, 2007-05-08)
      Water quality evaluation entails both randomness and fuzziness. Two hybrid models are developed, based on the principle of maximum entropy (POME) and engineering fuzzy set theory (EFST). Generalized weighted distances are ...
    • A kinematic model for surface irrigation: An extension 
      Sherman, Bernard; Singh, Vijay P. (American Geophysical Union, 1982-06)
      The kinematic model for surface irrigation, reported previously by Sherman and Singh (1978), is extended. Depending upon the duration of irrigation and time variability of infiltration, three cases are distinguished. ...
    • A kinematic model for surface irrigation: Verification by experimental data 
      Singh, Vijay P.; Ram, Rama S. (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 transient bed profiles in alluvial channels under nonequilibrium conditions 
      Tayfur, Gokmen; Singh, Vijay P. (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 ...
    • Kinematic wave model for water movement in municipal solid waste 
      Bendz, David; Singh, Vijay P.; Rosqvist, H?�kan; Bengtsson, Lars (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 
      Tayfur, Gokmen; Singh, Vijay P. (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 ...
    • Quantifying the effect of land use and land cover changes on green water and blue water in northern part of China 
      Liu, X.; Ren, L.; Yuan, F.; Singh, V. P.; Fang, X.; Yu, Z.; Zhang, W. (Copernicus Publications on behalf of the European Geosciences Union, 2009-06-12)
      Changes in land use and land cover (LULC) have been occurring at an accelerated pace in northern parts of China. These changes are significantly impacting the hydrology of these parts, such as Laohahe Catchment. The ...
    • Solute transport under steady and transient conditions in biodegraded municipal solid waste 
      Bendz, David; Singh, Vijay P. (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 stochastic model for sediment yield using the Principle of Maximum Entropy 
      Singh, V. P.; Krstanovic, P. F. (American Geophysical Union, 1987-05)
      The principle of maximum entropy was applied to derive a stochastic model for sediment yield from upland watersheds. By maximizing the conditional entropy subject to certain constraints, a probability distribution of ...
