abstract a model based on fuzzy logic has been developed to simulate the distribution pattern of a single sprinkler. a nelson r3000 sprayer with rotator pad and water application angle of 360o which is one of the most common types of center pivot and linear move sprinklers was selected. several field experiments according to the iso-8026 and asae-s398.1 standards were performed to assess the wa...

the determination of temporal and spatial salinity in tidal rivers is significant in supplying water for agriculture purposes, particularly where there is no controller dam at the downstream. in this research, the coherens model was applied to study the hydraulics of water flow, salinity distribution and transmission at the bahmanshir river. coherens is a 3d multi-purpose hydrodynamic model whi...

For any agency dealing with the design of the water distribution network, an economic design will be an objective. In this research, Central Force Optimization (CFO) and Differential Evolution (DE) algorithm were used to optimize Ismail Abad water Distribution network. Optimization of the network has been evaluated by developing an optimization model based on CFO and DE algorithm in MATLAB and ...

abstract the application of the crop growth models could facilitate irrigation water and fertilizer management due to reduce of field visits and direct measurements. these models are often so complex that it is difficult to understand them and some of those input data are not accessible. in this study, a simple model (vsm) was used to yield prediction of corn under different water and nitrogen ...

food security in the world that water shortages are faced is very important, especially in arid regions. effects of climate change on agricultural water requirement have doubled this importance. in this study, the risk of water demand has been assessed for a wide range of products under climate change. aogcm models have been used to simulate climate variables. the climate change scenarios of cl...

Bridges are very important for establishing communication paths. For this reason, it is important to control scour around bridge piers. Several methods have been proposed for scour control. One of the most useful methods is the use of submerged vanes. In the other hand, laboratory circumstances force many considered effective factors to be skipped in the scour phenomenon. In this situation, the...
