Preference assessment of energy and momentum equations over 2D-SKM method in compound channels
Abstract: Gradually varied flow in channels could be assessed and investigated from both the energy and momentum equations standpoints. Depending on what method is implemented, the computational results could be different. Currently, there is an ambiguity on the preference of utilizing the energy and momentum equations standpoints. This study attempts to respond to this ambiguity and the question that among these pair viewpoints which one would provide a closer solution to …

Radial Basis Function Neural Networks for Rainfall-Runoff Modeling
Abstract: Rainfall-runoff process is purely nonlinear and varies spatially as well as temporally. Any hydrological model requires many parameters which represent different components of the process. Availability of all the parameters is difficult for any catchment and probabilistic generation of such type of data is impossible. Under such circumstances, artificial neural networks (ANNs) have proven to be a better tool to model the rainfall-runoff process with minimum available data. The present …
