Application of the Firefly Algorithm to Optimal Operation of Reservoirs with the Purpose of Irrigation Supply and Hydropower Production
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)Population growth and socioeconomic changes in developing countries over the past few decades have created severe stresses on the available water resources across the world, particularly in arid and semiarid regions, which ... -
Shuffled Frog-Leaping Algorithm for Optimal Design of Open Channels
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)Open channels are important water structures for irrigation, water supply, power generation, and drainage. The primary concern of designing a channel is to determine optimum dimensions while minimizing construction costs. ... -
Development of a Mathematical Model of Lopac Gates in Accordance with the ICSS Hydrodynamic Model
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)A Lopac gate is one type of upstream control structures in irrigation canals. Advantages of a Lopac gate include performing as an overflow structure, letting sediments and floating bodies pass simultaneously, as well as ... -

Sequential and Simultaneous Model Predictive Control of a Drainage Canal Network Using an Implicit Diffusive Wave Model
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2017)Model predictive control (MPC) is an efficient approach to regulate water systems, for both water quantity and quality. It generates optimal control trajectories based on model predictions over a finite horizon. In this ... -
Discharge Coefficient of Triangular and Asymmetric Labyrinth Side Weirs Using the Nonlinear PLS Method
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)Side weirs are hydraulic control structures widely used in irrigation and drainage systems as well as wastewater treatment plants. These structures also serve as adjusting/diverting flow structures with a minimum head loss. ... -

Offset-Free Model Predictive Control of an Open Water Channel Based on Moving Horizon Estimation
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2017)Open water systems such as irrigation canals are used to transport and deliver water from the source to the user. Water loss in these systems by seepage, leakage, evaporation, or unknown water offtakes can be large. If ... -
