Optimal Design of Open Channel Section Incorporating Critical Flow Condition
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The flow at critical condition of an open channel is unstable. At critical condition, a small change in specific energy will cause abrupt fluctuation in water depth of the channel. This is because the specific energy curve ...
Discussion of “Invertible Alternatives to Normal and Lognormal Distributions” by Prabhata K. Swamee and Pushpa N. Rathie
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Solving Groundwater Flow Inverse Problem Using Spreadsheet Solver
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A simple spreadsheet cell-oriented methodology is proposed for solving a groundwater flow inverse problem. Initially, the numerical simulation of the groundwater flow process is carried out by using an embedded optimization ...

Estimation of Integrated Flood Vulnerability Index for the Hilly Region of Uttarakhand, India
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Uttarakhand, a Himalayan state in India, has more than 80% of its area in the hilly regions. Owing to its hilly nature, the state is suffering from different natural calamities such as flash floods and landslides. For ...
Estimation of Total Drainable Water Storage Using GRACE in the Brahmaputra River Basin, India
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: As the Brahmaputra is a transboundary river, the availability of river flow and hydrometeorological data is less in the public domain for the Brahmaputra river basin. Hence, estimation of water balance is difficult for the ...
New Hybrid Optimization Methodology to Identify Pollution Sources Considering the Source Locations and Source Flux as Unknown
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A hybrid methodology was developed for identifying unknown groundwater pollution sources. The source identification problem can be solved by using the inverse optimization approach. Being a mixed-integer problem, genetic ...
Development of Unknown Pollution Source Identification Models Using GMS ANN–Based Simulation Optimization Methodology
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The detection of groundwater pollution sources is an important but a very difficult task. The location and magnitude of groundwater pollution sources can be identified using inverse optimization technique. The technique ...
Flooding Probability-Based Optimal Design of Trapezoidal Open Channel Using Freeboard as a Design Variable
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A flooding probability based cost effective design of open channel section has been proposed using freeboard as an additional design variable. The freeboard of the channel is calculated based on the flooding probability ...
