Abstract: A method of designing a box-type energy-dissipating section of a box-type energy-dissipating mudflow diversion flume. Firstly, the longitudinal gradient J of the flume and the roughness coefficient n 0 of a fully-lined flume bottom (1) are determined. Then, the parameters of the box-type energy-dissipating section are set, and related parameters are substituted into a formula for calculation, so that the overall roughness coefficient n of the flume is obtained. Further, the flow velocity of the mudflow is calculated by means of the Manning formula. Finally, the flow velocity of the mudflow is compared with the non-scouring and non-silting velocity allowed by the flume, and the design value of the box-type energy-dissipating section is obtained through final optimization. The method factors in the longitudinal gradient J of the flume, the length L of the box-type energy-dissipating section, the width b of the box-type energy-dissipating section, and the average diameter D of filler stones.

Abstract: A computing device computes a quantile value. A maximum value and a minimum value are computed for unsorted variable values. An upper bin value and a lower bin value are computed for each bin of a plurality of bins using the maximum and minimum values. A frequency counter is computed for each bin by reading the unsorted variable values a second time. Each frequency counter is a count of the variable values within a respective bin. A bin number and a cumulative rank value are computed for a quantile. The bin number identifies a specific within which a quantile value associated with the quantile is located. The cumulative rank value identifies a cumulative rank for the quantile value associated with the quantile. Frequency data is computed using the frequency counters. The quantile value is computed using the frequency data and the cumulative rank value for the quantile and output.
