this study is an attempt to develop an integrated methodology to predict the impact of the caspian sea on flooding using geographic information systems (gis) and hydrodynamic modeling. a rise in the sea level might lead to major flooding events, and have a severe impact on the spatial development of cities and regions. the feasibility of simulating a flood event along a drain channel is evaluat...

block ramps are hydraulic structures which are commonly used in river restoration projects. especially in the last few decades, the use of this type of structures have become more and more popular. they furnish a correct balance between the hydraulic functioning and the environmental care, as they minimize the impact on the environment in which they are located. in addition, they can be conside...

As embedded control systems are becoming more complex, there is a need for new software development and structuring techniques. The combination Simulink/Stateflow has become a popular tool for model-based design for this type of hybrid systems, due to the simulation and analysis tools available. To enable design and validation of large complex systems in Simulink/Stateflow, an appropriate model...
