Abstract Gabion weirs are environment-friendly structures widely used for irrigation and drainage network purposes. These structures' hydraulic performance is fundamentally different from solid weirs' due to their porosity the existence of a through-flow discharge. This paper investigates reliability suitability number Machine learning models estimation gabion weirs. Generally, three Boosting e...

water quality trading is a new approach in pollution control which satisfies water quality standards suggesting minimum cost solutions. this method uses tradable discharge permits based on pollution transfer coefficient in a river. this paper tries to establish a water quality trading program in a river basin according to transfer coefficients between pollution sources and evaluate cost effecti...

dam spillways are the structures that lead rightly and safely the outflow downstream, so that the dam integrity can be guaranteed. many accidents with dams have been caused by an inadequate spillway design or insufficient capacity. to accurately respond the hydraulic spillways, designers use physical modeling for designing this kind of structures. the scale effect in the spillway modeling, as a...

Prediction of highly non linear behavior of suspended sediment flow in rivers has prime importance in the field of water resources engineering. In this study the predictive performance of two Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) namely, the Radial Basis Function (RBF) Network and the Multi Layer Feed Forward (MLFF) Network have been compared. Time series data of daily suspended sediment discharge ...

In this study electrical discharge process was used to increase surface wear resistance of pure aluminum. Pulse-on-time and pulse current were considered as input parameters of the electrical discharge process. Experimental results reveal that the electrical discharge process is a successful method for improving the surface wear resistance of aluminum, so that this method has greatly increased ...
