Genetic Algorithm Design of Piped Irrigation Systems
The design of piped irrigation systems is a complex matter. In its simplest form it involves the selection of the sizes of pipes and other hydraulic elements so as to ensure that the varying...
State of Delaware-Scour Evaluation Program
The Delaware Department of Transportation (DelDOT) is evaluating the potential for scour at bridges which have a National Bridge Inventory (NBI)-Item 113 Code Rating of 6 (scour susceptible)....
Optimization of Groundwater Remediation with DES
Evolutionary Algorithms (EAs) are non-derivative-based and stochastic op timization methods which simulate the natural evolution process. A type of EA, Derandomized Evolution Strategy...
Genetic Algorithms for the Design of Groundwater Remediation Systems
The performance of genetic algorithms (GAs) to solve optimal aquifer remediation design problems is investigated. Some difficulties associated with GA models include premature convergence,...
Groundwater Remediation Design When Pretty Good is Good Enough
This paper introduces some new approaches toward the optimal design of groundwater remediation systems or any other engineered systems. These new approaches primarily consist of making...
Evaluation of System Downstream Control
System downstream control (SDC) has been developed to optimally and automaticaly control canal systems. The objective of system downstream control is to maintain a reference water depth...
Subcatchment Parameterization for Runoff Modeling Using Digital Elevation Models
Numerical algorithms are presented to estimate the length, width and slope of rectangular planes representing irregularly shaped overland contributing areas defined on raster Digital Elevation...
Increasing Computational Accuracy of Radial Gate Flows
Radial (Tainter) gates are the most widely used flow control structure on large, open channel conveyance systems. In contrast, the hydraulic forces are complicated and this type of gate...
A Hydrodynamic FVM Algorithm on Arbitrary Grids
This paper presents a finite volume algorithm for the vertically averaged integral form of the hydrodynamic governing equations on an unstructured grid system. The algorithm is applicable...
