This paper presents a method to predict and evaluate effects of hydraulic fracturing jobs by using reservoir and well flow numerical simulation. The concept of the method i5 that steam production rate at the operating well head pressure is predicted with different fracture conditions which would be attained by the hydraulic fracturing jobs. Then, the effects of the hydraulic fracturing is evalu...

Phosphorus adsorption by a water treatment residual was tested through Langmuir and linear sorption isotherms and applied in the Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT). This study uses laboratory and greenhouse experimental Phosphorus data to evaluate the performance of a modified version of SWAT for high P concentration simulation development. A combination of vegetative filter strips (VFS) and...

By using the theory of artificial intelligence fault diagnosis of hydraulic excavator of several basic problems are discussed in this paper, the artificial intelligence neural network model is established for the fault diagnosis of hydraulic system; the combined application of fault diagnosis analysis (FTA) and artificial neural network is evaluated. In view of the hydraulic excavator failure s...

Numerical simulation is very useful for understanding the hydraulic fracturing mechanism. In this paper, we simulate the hydraulic fracturing using the distinct element approach, to investigate the effect of some critical parameters on hydraulic fracturing characteristics. The breakdown pressure obtained by the distinct element approach is consistent with the analytical solution. This indicates...

In this paper the control problem of a hydraulic servo-system is addressed. The performance achievable by classical linear controllers, e.g. PD, are usually limited due to highly nonlinear behavior of the hydraulic dynamics. This paper adopts the backstepping design strategy to develop a Lyapunov-based nonlinear controller for a hydraulic servo-system. Load, hydraulic and valve dynamics are inc...

Recently, a benchmarking test study of several hydraulic river models has been undertaken by the authors ^. One of the tests being investigated was the performance of hydraulic river models in using measured and interpolated crosssections for unsteady flows. Details of the interpolation algorithm for obtaining interpolated cross-sections are described in the paper. It is shown that the appropri...

Polyurea is a special type of elastomer that features fast setting time as well as good chemical and fire resistance. It has also good mechanical properties such as its high toughness-to-density ratio and high strain rate-sensitivity, so its application is recently extended to structural purpose to form sandwich-type or multi-layered plates. Those structures can be used for retrofitting of mili...

Breakwaters are the important and the costly ones of the marine structures. Composite breakwater is one of the common types in the world. Because of the progress in marine industry in Iran in recent years, designers have noticed this structure. Because of the sensitivity of composite breakwater to environmental conditions, also construction costs, difficulty of repair and maintenance and import...

Hydraulic bending roll system has become one of key equipments to control the exit strip shape in strip rolling mills. The hydraulic bending roll system of a hot rolling mill was researched and analyzed, and its mathematics models were founded in whole based on the action principle of some representative hydraulic components. At last, the hydraulic bending roll system was simulated with MATLAB ...

is often still limited by the ill-posedness of the problem being considered. Ill-posedness in general is affected Inverse methods are increasingly used to estimate the hydraulic by nonoptimal experimental design, poor measurement properties of unsaturated soils. The method generally uses a weighted least-squares approach in which numerically simulated data are fitted quality, errors in the assu...
