Abstract:In reservoir projects it is important to estimate when the accumulated sediments will start to interfere with their functions. However, predicting silting is difficult because the processes involved have some uncertainties. Thus, the study is not only deterministic, as currently performed, but also stochastic. Thus, the objective of this paper was to develop a stochastic method and evaluate its performance in estimating silting in reservoirs. The method has as originalities the fact of having coupled a determi… Show more
