Volume Compensation Method for Routing Irrigation Canal Demand Changes
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper examines the problem of routing known water demands through gate-controlled, open-channel irrigation delivery systems. Volume-compensation principles were used to route multiple demands in multiple-pool canal systems. The volume-compensation method schedules each demand change individually under the assumption of a series of steady states and superimposes the individual results. Volume-compensation routing schedules were computed for two of the test cases proposed by the ASCE Task Committee on Canal Automation. Alternative routing schedules were computed with the gate-stroking method, which is an inverse solution of the unsteadyflow equations. Both solutions were tested through unsteady-flow simulation. While not as effective as gate-stroking solutions, volumecompensation solutions performed satisfactorily under ideal flow control conditions. When subjected to realistic operational constraints, specifically constraints on the flow regulation interval, and also to incorrect canal hydraulic roughness information, both methods performed similarly.

Response time of a canal pool for scheduled water delivery
Estimating the response time of a canal is essential for the open-loop control of an irrigation canal, since upstream flow releases must be anticipated in order to satisfy scheduled demands at irrigation outlets. We consider a flow release at the upstream end of a pool in order to satisfy a side withdrawal at its downstream end. When theflow is released, wave travel time causes the flow change ...
متن کاملMultifrequency tympanometry: effects of ear canal volume compensation on middle ear resonance.
Sweep frequency tympanograms compensating for ear canal volume at 200 and -400 daPa were obtained on 106 ears of 53 subjects during four different sessions. Resonance frequencies were obtained and analyzed to determine normative data, resonance differences between the compensation methods, and the interaction effect of running consecutive tympanograms. There were no gender or interaural differe...

متن کاملModel and Solution Approach for Multi objective-multi commodity Capacitated Arc Routing Problem with Fuzzy Demand
The capacitated arc routing problem (CARP) is one of the most important routing problems with many applications in real world situations. In some real applications such as urban waste collection and etc., decision makers have to consider more than one objective and investigate the problem under uncertain situations where required edges have demand for more than one type of commodity. So, in thi...
