Particle Swarm Optimization, a recently more popular optimizer utilizes the swarm behavior in searching for an optimum. The classical/standard PSO (SPSO) algorithm is normally used for unconstrained optimization tasks. The Directional Over-Current Relay (DOCR) Coordination problem is a highly constrained optimization problem, therefore the SPSO in its original form cannot be used to solve it. T...

Turbidity currents are the main source of suspended sediment transport in reservoirs and thus one of the main causes of sedimentation. One of the techniques used to avoid reservoir sedimentation is through venting of turbidity currents. In the framework of a research work on venting, velocity measurements of turbidity currents flowing on a flat bed are carried out using Ultrasonic Velocity Prof...

in this research, the numerical method of computational fluid dynamics and dimensionless parameter of froude number have been applied to determine the flow regime over ogee spillways.froude number is a dimensionless dynamic parameter calculated using the square root of the ratio of inertia force and gravitational force. considering that the study of the regimes of flow over hydraulic structures...

The importance of the slip flow over the no-slip condition is widely accepted in microscopic scaled domains with the direct impact on microfluidic and nanofluidic systems. The popular Navier Stoke’s (N-S) flow model is largely utilized with the slip flow phenomenon. In the present study, the finite integral transform scheme along with the shift of variables is implemented to solve the equation ...
