This study explores influences on flood frequency distributions in Irish rivers. Generalised Extreme Value (GEV) type I distributions are recommended in Ireland for estimating flood quantiles. This paper presents the ...
Hydrological or hydraulic flood routing methods can be used to predict the floodplain influences on a flood wave as it passes along a river reach. While hydraulic routing uses both the equation of continuity and the equation ...
Nine sediment transport formulae were reviewed and applied to both inbank and overbank flows in straight and meandering compound channels. The predictive capabilities of the formulae were evaluated using experimental data ...
Algorithms based on simple one-dimensional stage–discharge models for compound channels have been developed and tested for overbank flow data from the UK Flood Channel Facility and the University of Ulster channel with ...
Many discharge prediction methods have been developed for compound meandering channels. Most of these methods have been found to produce reasonable results for fixed-bed channels, but the effects of the presence of a mobile ...
An improved approach for applying three-dimensional (3D) computational fluid dynamics (CFD) models to estimate
uniform flow stage–discharge relationships and velocity distributions in straight compound channels is ...
In this study two different models have been developed and tested with data from 55 hydrometric stations in the Shannon River Basin in Ireland for estimating the location and the scale parameters of the EV1 distribution ...
Quantifying uncertainty in flood forecasting is a difficult task, given the multiple and strongly nonlinear
model components involved in such a system. Much effort has been and is being invested in
the quest of dealing ...
Based on the fuzzy logic principle, a modified Fuzzy Synthetic Evaluation (FSE) is proposed to assess water quality status of Weihe River (Baoji, China). The potential application of the FSE has been tested in a case study. ...
The Shannon river basin is the largest in Ireland and it encompasses a number of urban and rural towns. The water of this river provides the demand for drinking, agriculture, ecology, industry, etc. Therefore it is essential ...
