Multiannual data (2016–2018) from 12 weighed lysimeters (four soil types with textures ranging sandy loam to silt loam, three replicates) of the TERENO SOILCan network were used evaluate if evaporation (E) rates could be predicted weather using FAO Penman–Monteith (PM) method combined water flow simulations Richards equation. Soil hydraulic properties (SHPs) estimated either texture ROSETTA ped...

In this paper, we use a numerical method involving collocation method with third B-splines as basis functions for solving a class of singular initial value problems (IVPs) of Lane--Emden type equation. The original differential equation is modified at the point of singularity. The modified problem is then treated by using B-spline approximation. In the case of non-linear problems, we first line...

Lennard-Jones-Devonshire equation of state is an old but theoretical based EOS. The concept of the nearest neighboring molecules or coordination number is proposed to be a function of temperature and volume, whereas it is a constant in the original. The dilute gas and hard sphere limits of molecules are employed to determine this function. Improvement of this modification is demonstrated by pro...

in this paper, we implemented the modified iteration perturbation method (mipm) for approximating the periodic behavior of a tapered beam. this problem is formulated as a nonlinear ordinary differential equation with linear and nonlinear terms. the solution is quickly convergent and does not need to complicated calculations. comparing the results of the mipm with the exact solution shows that t...

Five methods (Thornthwaite, Hamon, Jensen-Haise, Turc, and Penman) for estimating potential evaporation for a reference surface (PEr) were compared to four methods (Priestley-Taylor, McNaughton-Black, Penman-Monteith, and ShuttleworthWallace) for estimating surface-dependent potential evaporation (PEs) using three cover types at each of seven locations from Fairbanks, Alaska, to San Juan, Puert...

The present work is the successful extension of an improved equation of state (EOS) to refrigerant fluids. The objective is the prediction of isothermal and saturated liquid densities of refrigerants. Two temperature-independent parameters appearing in the modified EOS are closely related to critical point properties of refrigerant fluids. Our results showed that, the proposed EOS can predict w...

A modified F-expansion method to find the exact traveling wave solutions of  two-component nonlinear partial differential equations (NLPDEs) is discussed. We use this method to construct many new solutions to the nonlinear Whitham-Broer-Kaup system (1+1)-dimensional. The solutions obtained include Jacobi elliptic periodic wave solutions which exactly degenerate to the soliton solutions, triangu...

The modified tanh-coth function method is used to obtain new exact travelling wave solutions for Zhiber-Shabat equation and the related equations: Liouville equation, sinh-Gordon equation, Dodd-Bullough-Mikhailov equation, and Tzitzeica-Dodd-Bullough equation. Exact travelling wave solutions for each equation are derived and expressed in terms of hyperbolic functions, trigonometric functions an...
