چکیده

Two methods are presented of estimating accumulated sediment yield stemming from erosion in a semiarid climate during a given time span, and the methods are compared from the viewpoint of the economic consequences evaluated within a Bayesian framework. The design of reservoirs requires the estimation of the random sediment volume Z accumulated over the lifetime of the project. An analytic and a simulation method are used to estimate the density function of Z and to calculate an economically optimal sediment storage spaceD*. A case study in Arizona, USA, is used to illustrate the methodology for the typical situation when only rainfall records are available. Both methods prove to be superior to the traditional procedure leaning on mean values. For the example considered, the two methods yield commensurate results. It appears that, in a semiarid basin, the effect of parameter uncertainty on both Z and D* may be considerably higher than that of natural uncertainty. Sédimentation des réservoirs en cas de l'incertitude: méthode analytique contre la méthode par simulation Résumé. On présente deux méthodes d'estimation de la sédimentation Z accumulée dans une période donnée par suite de l'érosion d'un bassin déversant semi-aride, et on compare ces méthodes du point de vue économique dans le cadre d'une analyse bayésienne. La conception de réservoirs nécessite l'estimation de la densité de probabilité de Z. Cette densité, calculée d'abord à l'aide d'une méthode analytique, puis à l'aide d'une simulation, permet d'évaluer un espace optimum D* de stockage de sédiments. La méthode est appliquée à un cas d'espèce en Arizona, USA. On traite de la situation typique où seules des données pluviométriques sont disponibles. Les deux méthodes, qui sont préférables à l'emploi de valeurs moyennes, conduisent à des résultats comparables. En particulier, il semble que dans un climat semi-aride, l'effet de l'incertitude d'échantillonage sur Z et D* soit bien supérieur à l'effet de l'incertitude naturelle.

Optimal design of supply chain network under uncertainty environment using hybrid analytical and simulation modeling approach

Models that aim to optimize the design of supply chain networks have gained more interest in the supply chain literature. Mixed-integer linear programming and discrete-event simulation are widely used for such an optimization problem. We present a hybrid approach to support decisions for supply chain network design using a combination of analytical and discrete-event simulation models. The prop...

Integration of QFD, AHP, and LPP methods in supplier development problems under uncertainty

Quality function deployment (QFD) is a customer-driven approach, widely used to develop or process new product to maximize customer satisfaction. Last researches used linear physical programming (LPP) procedure to optimize QFD; however, QFD issue involved uncertainties, or fuzziness, which requires taking them into account for more realistic study. In this paper, a set of fuzzy data is used to ...

Simulation of River Morphological Changes under Voshmgir Dam Removal Condition- Gorganrud River

Dam removal is one of the methods of restoring the river ecosystem. In the present study, the removal of the Voshmgir Dam on the Gorganrud River, Iran, was considered, because of the high volume of sediment deposition in the reservoir and the loss of its useful life. Three scenarios were selected for the removal of the dam: 1- complete removal; 2- stepped removal of the spillway; and 3- removal...
