application of crovelli's bivariate gamma distribution in hydrological processes

Mathematical methods and statistical distributions present exact results in the climate calculations and hydrological processes. Awareness of the rainfall probability distribution provides the appropriate conditions for water resource planning. Many studies have been done to estimate probability of rainfall by various methods due to the importance of rainfall distribution in the economic, soci...

Elastic waves in fractured rocks under periodic compression

Background: One of the current problems in studying the mechanical properties and behavior of structurally inhomogeneous media with cracks is the characterization of acoustic wave propagation. This is especially important in Geomechanics and prognosis of earthquakes. Methods: In this work, the authors propose an approach that could simplify characterization of wave propagation in medium with cr...

Particle-tracking simulations of anomalous transport in hierarchically fractured rocks

Complex topology of fracture networks and interactions between transport processes in a fracture and the ambient un-fractured rock (matrix) combine to render modeling solute transport in fractured media a challenge. Classical approaches rely on both strong assumptions of either limited or full diffusion of solutes in the matrix and simplified fracture configurations. We analyze fracture-matrix ...
