in the present paper, a 3d numerical model has been applied to predict the flow hydrodynamics around power intakes within the dez dam reservoir. the dez dam is a 203 m high, double arch concrete dam which is constructed by italians in 1962. since then, sedimentation in reservoirhas continued and since the dam does not have bottom outlet, the reservoir bed level is raising by a rate of about 2.5...

Sediment flushing of reservoirs is an operational technique, whereby previously accumulated sediments in the reservoirs are hydraulically removed by accelerated flow when the bottom desiltingoutlets of the dam are opened. In this research, the process of sediment flushing is simulated by a three dimensional numerical model in which sediment and flow interaction are reflected in the reservoirs. ...

Planning for supply water demands (drinkable and irrigation water demands) is a necessary problem. For this purpose, three subjects must be considered (optimization of water supply systems such as volume of reservoir dams, optimization of released water from reservoir and prediction of next droughts). For optimization of volume of reservoir dams, yield model is applied. Reliability of yield mod...

abstract regarding temporal variation of rivers discharge and demands, for suitable use of dam reservoirs stored water, application of operation rule curves is necessary. operation rules are expressed with rule curves. application of yield model is one of the methods of operation curve preparation, which correlates reservoir operation with reservoir storage volume in first period. in this study...

this study is focused on developing an integrated optimization-simulation based genetic algorithm model (iosga) to develop the operational policies for a multi-purpose reservoir system. the objective function of the optimization model is considered to be a linear function of reliability (rel), resiliency (res), and vulnerability (vul) of the river-reservoir system. genetic algorithm (ga) is emp...

Limitations on water resources and the high costs of new hydraulic structure construction intensify the need for an optimum operation of Iranian reservoir systems. For appropriate water distribution and management in a 9-reservoir system on the Kalamarz river, Mianeh basin optimizing mathematical models are applied. Considering the stochastic nature of river discharges and the constant amount o...
