This method considers the flow of water down of a series of pagoda roofs. Regions where the water will not flow identify the rainflow cycles which are seen as an interruption to the main cycle. Reduce the time history to a sequence of (tensile) peaks and (compressive) valleys. Imagine that the time history is a template for a rigid sheet ...
Drop generators convert a flow of water to simulated rainfall drops. Two types of drop generators exist. The first type is a gravity-fed unpressurized feed system such as a perforated pipe, hanging yarns, or an array of syringe needles which form drops. The second type is a pressurized feed system connected to a nozzle. Drop generator height is ...
If the water flow at a particular point, A, in a stream is measured over time with a flow gauge, this information can be used to create a hydrograph. A short period of intense rain, normally called a flood event, can cause a bulge in the graph, as the increased water travels down the river, reaches the flow gauge at A, and passes along it. If ...
A process to perform a water flow test is explained in the model fire codes as published by NFPA (National Fire Protection Association). If a water supply source is considered weak compared to what is required by the sprinkler system design hydraulic calculation , the water pressure can be boosted by means of a fire pump .
Double mass analysis is a simple graphical method to evaluate the consistency of hydrological data. The DM approach plots the cumulative data of one variable against the cumulative data of a second variable.
The pilot who died in a small plane crash Sept. 23 was performing an inverted flat spin before his plane crashed into the Cumberland River in Cheatham County, according to the National Safety and ...
A stream hydrograph is commonly determining the influence of different hydrologic processes on discharge from the subject catchment. Because the timing, magnitude, and duration of groundwater return flow differs so greatly from that of direct runoff, separating and understanding the influence of these distinct processes is key to analyzing and simulating the likely hydrologic effects of ...
The process of infiltration can continue only if there is room available for additional water at the soil surface. The available volume for additional water in the soil depends on the porosity of the soil [7] and the rate at which previously infiltrated water can move away from the surface through the soil. The maximum rate at that water can ...
