Hydraulic systems, in which working pressure (pressure in pump output) is kept proportional to load, are called hydraulic load-sensing systems. Such systems are mainly used in mechanisms containing numerous drives to run with purpose to save energy. These are quite complicated automatically regulating systems and until now optimal solutions for static, steady-state motion and dynamics for such ...

hydraulic attributes play important role in hydrological studies, soil conservation, designing irrigation and drainage systems, soil conservation, and controlling soil erosion in watersheds. their measurements are very tedious and time consuming and due to high spatial variability, a large number of measurements are required for obtaining reliable values. nowadays, prediction of these attribute...

We analyze the motion of viscous and incompressible liquids in the annular space of controllable hydraulic resistances with a cylindrical linear slide-valve. This theoretical study focuses on the turbulent and steady-state motion regimes. The hydraulic resistances mentioned above are the most frequent type of hydraulic resistances used in hydraulic actuators and automation systems. To study the...

Predicting the hydrologic consequences of biomass cropping systems requires an understanding of how different crops and management practices affect soil hydraulic properties across space and time. To inform such predictions, I investigated the impacts of five biomass cropping systems on the hydraulic properties of soils across a landscape gradient in wet, dry, and average rainfall years. I used...

This paper describes the implementation of a real-time hydraulic model of a water distribution system in Singapore. This on-line system is based on the Integration of real-time hydraulic data with hydraulic computer simulation models and statistical prediction tools. To facilitate this implementation, a network of wireless sensor nodes continuously sample hydraulic data such as pressure and flo...

The task of setting a hydraulic system into operation constitutes some kind of configuration problem. To be more specific, this task is comprised of several configuration checking problems placed at different levels of abstraction. Configuration technology as developed in the past is only partly capable to cope with these checking problems. The reason for this is that the checking of a hydrauli...

the analysis of flow in water-distribution networks with several pumps by the content model may be turned into a non-convex optimization uncertain problem with multiple solutions. newton-based methods such as gga are not able to capture a global optimum in these situations. on the other hand, evolutionary methods designed to use the population of individuals may find a global solution even for ...
