Flood routing has many applications in engineering projects and helps designers in understanding the flood flow characteristics in river flows. Floods are taken unsteady flows that vary by time and location. Equations governing unsteady flows in waterways are continuity and momentum equations which in case of one-dimensional flow the Saint-Venant hypothesis is considered. Dynamic wave model as ...

parameter estimation of the nonlinear muskingum model is a highly nonlinear optimization problem. although various techniques have been applied to optimize the coefficients of the nonlinear muskingum flood routing models, but an efficient method for this purpose in the calibration process is still lacking. the accuracy of artificial bee colony (abc) algorithm is investigated in this paper to op...

Mobile Ad Hoc Networks (MANETs) are collections of mobile nodes that can communicate with one another using multihop wireless links. MANETs are often deployed in the environments, where there is no fixed infrastructure and centralized management. The nodes of mobile ad hoc networks are susceptible to compromise. In such a scenario, designing an efficient, reliable and secure routing protocol ha...

Constructing of control structures, like dams, change temporal and spatial unequal distribution of water ,and also play an effective role in reduce or eliminate of damage that caused by floods. So reservoir dam’s effect on floods discharges reduction must be determined. In this study the rain Information and flood hydrographs were used to check the flood routing for previous period of Maroon da...

abstract due to transmission losses and lack of initial flow, flood routing in ephemeral streams is not possible with common methods and it is necessary the flood routing models have been developed for these streams. therefore in this study a computer model for natural river cross section has been developed in that after linearization of partial differential equations of unsteady none uniform f...

The Muskingum model is the most widely used method for flood routing in hydrologic engineering. However, the application of the model still suffers from a lack of an efficient method for parameter estimation. Particle swarm optimization PSO is applied to the parameter estimation for the nonlinear Muskingum model. PSO does not need any initial guess of each parameter and thus avoids the subjecti...

Detention rockfill dams are accounted as economically efficient structures for flood control, river bed and banks protection, flow diversion, etc. As the hydraulic behavior of these structures, when are used for flood control, is affected by the depth of water in their porous media, there is interests to predict water surface profile through the body of these structures. In this research, we de...

The disparate spatial and temporal distribution of rainfall in the country and climate variation sometimes leads to rivers flooding and large flood events, which are remarkable for life and financial losses. Flood control design requires accurate knowledge of the flood generator basin, especially smaller ones, in large basins. Determining the potential of flood generation to specify the...

The operation of flood retarding areas does not attract much attention, although they are important components of flood control systems. Poor operation of such areas restricts not only the socio-economic development of the flood retarding area, but also limits scientific flood control options. As the second-largest flood retarding area in China, with more than 2000 km2 and 300 polders, the Hong...

Design flood estimation is often required in hydrologic practice such as design of hydraulic structures and flood plain management. In flood estimation, use of rainfall runoff models is frequently adopted which convert selected rainfall events into the corresponding streamflow events. In Australia, runoff routing model is frequently adopted as the preferred method of rainfall runoff modeling. T...
