Flood frequency analysis using partial series data has been shown to provide better estimates of small to medium magnitude flood events than the annual series, but the annual series is more often employed due to its simplicity. Where partial series average recurrence intervals are required, annual series values are often “converted” to partial series values using the Langbein equation, regardle...

thermal recovery involves well-known processes such as steam injection (cyclic steam stimulation, steam drive, and steam-assisted gravity drainage), in situ combustion, and a more recent technique that consists of heating the reservoir with electrical energy. when high frequency is used for heating, it is called electromagnetic (em) heating. the applications of em heating for heavy-oil reservoi...

Seismic imaging has many applications in civil engineering, risk hazard, waste storage monitoring, oil exploration and tectonophysics. Among the different seismic imaging methods the full waveform inversion aims to exploit the full information content of seismic data through the complete resolution of the partial differential wave equation. Once the wave equation has been solved for each seismi...
