CE 684:Mixing Processes in Inland and Coastal Waters
Development of advective-diffusion equations for conservative and non-conservative substances. Fickian diffusion, turbulent diffusion, and shear flow dispersion. Description and specification of mixing processes in rivers, reservoirs, and estuaries. Methods and analyses of conservative dye tracer studies. Monte Carlo simulations of diffusion processes and numerical models for simulation of advection diffusion processes in rivers and estuaries. |

E 243:Probability and Statistics for Engineers
Descriptive statistics, pictorial and tabular methods, measures of location and of variability, sample space and events, probability and independence, Bayes' formula, discrete random variables, densities and moments, normal, gamma, exponential and Weibull distributions, distribution of the sum and average of random samples, the central limit theorem, confidence intervals for the mean and the variance, hypothesis testing and p-values, applications for prediction in a regression model. A statistical computer package is used throughout the course for teaching and for project assignments. |
