flood disaster is considered as a major natural hazard due to its devastatingeffects on the affected areas. determining the flood vulnerable areas is important fordecision makers in order to perform planning and management activities. geographicalinformation system (gis) is integrated with multi criteria decision analysis (mcda)used to analyze the flood vulnerable areas. the aim of this researc...

land use change is one of the main factors in the process of changing the regime of flood in watersheds. taleghan watershed has been subjected to many land use changes over years, which probably effects on flood characteristics of taleghan river. in present study the effects of land use change on some parameters including peak flow, volume and flood base time, in part of taleghan basin, was inv...

Flood routing has many applications in engineering projects and helps designers in understanding the flood flow characteristics in river flows. Floods are taken unsteady flows that vary by time and location. Equations governing unsteady flows in waterways are continuity and momentum equations which in case of one-dimensional flow the Saint-Venant hypothesis is considered. Dynamic wave model as ...

Abstract—Water miscible cutting fluids are conventionally used to lubricate and cool the machining zone. But issues related to health hazards, maintenance and disposal costs have limited their usage, leading to application of Minimum Quantity Lubrication (MQL). To increase the effectiveness of MQL, nanocutting fluids are proposed. In the present work, water miscible nanographite cutting fluids ...

In October 2000, the flow of the River Murray entering South Australia was increased from 32 000 to 42 050 ML day 1 by release of water from an offstream reservoir, and a downstream weir was raised by 500 mm to impound the flood and enhance local floodplain inundation. The flood was maintained for about two weeks, although the duration of inundation was longer at low elevations on the floodplai...

flood is considered as a major threat among natural disasters in the world. this case becomes more important and has a higher risk in urban areas due to the existence of important uses. therefore, to reduce damages resulted from flood, this phenomenon must be managed and planned using structural and non-structural approaches. considering the development in iran has been carried out in high risk...

introduction flood is a natural hazard that its occurrences can be observed more frequently in recent years. for better flood mitigation and control, it is needed to identify flood production factors and determine the high potential flood areas. hydrological model is a simplified representation of natural system and the rainfall-runoff model is one of the most frequently used events for flood s...

In this research, a pilot study and analysis of an innovative multi-channel photovoltaic/thermal (MCPV/T) system in a geographic location (35° 44' 35'' N, 50° 57' 25'' E) has been carried out. This system consists of integrating a photovoltaic panel and two PV/T heat-sink converters. The total electrical, exergy and energy efficiencies of the system at air flow rate of 0.005 kg/s and radiation ...

Accurate estimate of flood flows at selected return periods is a fundamental step in flood control and design of hydraulic structures. Due to the inadequacy or unavailability of flood flow records in several western catchments of Iran, traditional regional flood frequency methods lead to remarkable estimate errors, particularly for long return periods. In this research, discriminant analysis is...

flood is one of the major hydroecological phenomena that in each period causes damages to human achievements. therefore, controlling this phenomenon is the subject of many researchers' works and studies specially hydrologists who have tried to predict the flood`s possible behavior by modeling it. this paper is trying to help one of the most widely used methods to estimate the maximum disch...
