the performance of water flooding can be investigated by using either detail numerical modeling or simulation, or simply through the analytical buckley-leverett (bl) model. the buckley-leverett analytical technique can be applied to one-dimensional homogeneous systems. in this paper, the impact of heterogeneity on water flooding performance and fractional flow curve is investigated. first, a ba...

this paper proposes improvements and revisions to a recent approach in a voting system, and provides an effective approach with a stronger discriminate power. for this purpose, the advantage of a linear transformation is utilized to rede ne a previously used concept of virtual worst candidate, by incorporating the existing weight restrictions. then, the best score of this virtual candidate is u...

The present study considers of the water and air flow and Micro-Bubble production inside the venturi tube, by the use of dimensional analysis. Numerical analysis of Micro-Bubble creation in venturi tube requires fast computers and large amounts of storage space. Up to now, there has been no numerical analysis concerning Micro-Bubble creation and all other existing studies are experimental. To s...

The efficiency and economical performance of sewer systems is an essential issue in urban drainage. The need for sewers to carry sediment has been recognized for many years. One of the main problems in designing sewerage systems is the sediment deposition. Sedimentation in sewers occurs regularly according to the alternating natural flow. The present study investigates the hydraulic characteris...

Data envelopment analysis (DEA) is a mathematical programming method in Operations Research that can be used to distinguish between efficient and inefficient decision making units (DMUs). However, the conventional DEA models do not have the ability to rank the efficient DMUs. This article suggests bootstrapping method for ranking measures of technical efficiency as calculated via non-radial mod...

in this research two models for pricing and inventory decisions of complementary products with and without deterioration assumption are developed. in both of them, we assumed that the demand function of each product is dependent on own price and the price of another one. the aim of this paper is to optimize the total profit of integrated system such that the optimal values for the price of each...
