An Experimental Study of Mobile Boundary Transitions in Alluvial Canals
(ASCE, 2021-11-01)Self-formed shape and energy loss taking place at the transition of alluvial canals were studied. Two trapezoidal erodible canals were modeled along with a sudden contraction in a laboratory flume. Experiments were performed ... -
Gray Wolf Optimization for Scheduling Irrigation Water
(ASCE, 2022-04-19)Although various optimization algorithms have been developed for operational purposes, the development of new optimization algorithms is still an open problem due to the complex system of irrigation canals that must be ... -
Determining the Effect of Deficit Irrigation Applications on Yield and Quality Parameters in Grapefruit and Economical Assessment
(ASCE, 2022-03-25)This study was carried out to determine the effect of deficit irrigation applications on yield and quality criteria in 20-year-old grapefruit (Citrus paradisi Macf. cv. Star Ruby), irrigated by subsurface drip irrigation ... -
Solar-Thermophysical Irrigation Instrument for Container Plants
(ASCE, 2022-04-18)The proper irrigation of container plants is critical due to the limited substrate volume. This work investigated a zero-energy and self-operating drip irrigation instrument suitable for daily watering of container plants. ... -
Hydrologic Performance of Distributed LID Stormwater Infrastructure on Land Developments under a Changing Climate: Site-Scale Performance Improvements
(ASCE, 2022-04-18)Traditional land development stormwater management replaces natural pervious surfaces with impervious surfaces such as pavements and buildings. This increases the rate of runoff that is typically then managed through ... -
Reliability Assessment of Computational River Models
(ASCE, 2022-03-16)Application of numerical flood models in hydraulic engineering, loss and risk analysis, and urban policy making has increased significantly in recent years. While those models are widely being used, verification of underlying ... -
Development and Evaluation of Lamella Settlers Combined with Electrocoagulation for Treating Suspended Sediment
(ASCE, 2022-03-16)Stormwater quality has become an increasingly important issue in agricultural, urban, and construction sectors. Soil, nutrient, and pollutant discharge caused during rainfall events is one of the greatest sources of ... -
Harmonic Function for 3D Warped Transition Geometry and Its Practical Use
(ASCE, 2022-03-17)A transition is typically required in irrigation canals, laboratory flumes and many other waterways. The warped type transition (WTT) is the preferred link structure between a small rectangular and relatively large trapezoidal ... -
Simple Method for Determining the Emitter Discharge Rate in the Reclamation of Takyric Solonetz with Drip Irrigation
(ASCE, 2022-02-28)A laboratory experiment was conducted to study the effects of the emitter discharge rate (EDR) on the distribution of water and salt in a manipulated soil texture of a coarse soil surrounded by takyric solonetz. The objective ... -
Evaluation of Default, Soil-Specific, and Clay Content Correction Calibration Functions for Dielectric Sensors in Soils with Differing Properties
