Description
Summary:This second part of the paper is given over to describing four representative applications and to some of the most immediate lessons that may be drawn from these. The first of the applications is derived from a hydrologic model but provides equations with purely hydraulic interpretations. The second, taken from sediment transport studies, raises the question of ambiguity in the identification of "thresholds" in physical processes. It also provides a means for analyzing the significance of variables and indicates the need, or otherwise, for introducing further variables. A third example, based upon physical observations of salt water intrusion in estuaries, introduces the application of the present methods to accelerating prediction processes, while the fourth example extends this kind of application to cover numerically-generated data, in this case appertaining to the case of flow resistance in the presence of vegetation.
