Is hydrology kinematic?
نویسنده
چکیده
A wide range of phenomena, natural as well as man-made, in physical, chemical and biological hydrology exhibit characteristics similar to those of kinematic waves. The question we ask is: can these phenomena be described using the theory of kinematic waves? Since the range of phenomena is wide, another question we ask is: how prevalent are kinematic waves? If they are widely pervasive, does that mean hydrology is kinematic or close to it? This paper addresses these issues, which are perceived to be fundamental to advancing the state-of-the-art of water science and engineering. Copyright 2002 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Implementation of channel-routing routines in the Water Erosion Prediction Project (WEPP) model∗
The Water Erosion Prediction Project (WEPP) model is a process-based, continuous-simulation, watershed hydrology and erosion model. It is an important tool for water erosion simulation owing to its unique functionality in representing diverse landuse and management conditions. Its applicability is limited to relatively small watersheds since its current version does not simulate flow in permane...

The performance of vegetative filter strips is governed by complex mechanisms. Models can help simulate the field conditions and predict the buffer effectiveness. A single event model for simulating the hydrology and sediment filtration in buffer strips is developed and field tested. Input parameters, sensitivity analysis, calibration and field testing of the model are presented. The model was ...

The main objective of this paper is to study the Euclidean displacement of a 5-DOF parallel mechanism performing three translation and two independent rotations with identical limb structures-recently revealed by performing the type synthesis-in a higher dimensional projective space, rather than relying on classical recipes, such as Cartesian coordinates and Euler angles. In this paper, Study's...

Stormwater management has traditionally focused on the use of conveyances to quickly move stormwater runoff from urban centers into nearby rivers, streams, and lakes. The increased flow caused by impervious surface cover (ISC) leads to runoff rates that are amplified by kinematic processes as they travel through the municipality’s stormwater system. Elevated runoff volumes and rates lead to hig...
متن کاملApplication of a probabilistic model of rainfall-induced shallow landslides to complex hollows
Recently, D’Odorico and Fagherazzi (2003) proposed “A probabilistic model of rainfall-triggered shallow landslides in hollows” (Water Resour. Res., 39, 2003). Their model describes the long-term evolution of colluvial deposits through a probabilistic soil mass balance at a point. Further building blocks of the model are: an infinite-slope stability analysis; a steady-state kinematic wave model ...
