optimal use of water resources is essential to decrease cost and maximize available water resources. subsurface drip irrigation can increase irrigation and water use efficiency. this irrigation method distributes water into the soil, leaving the surface of the soil dry and decreasing evaporation. in the design of subsurface drip irrigation (sdi) systems, the dimensions of the wetted onion deter...

the produced electric and magnetic fields due to lightning strikes to mountainous ground are determined in this paper. for the sake of simplicity a cone-shaped ground with finite conductivity is assumed to represent a natural nonflat ground. by this assumption, we deal with an axillary symmetrical structure so we use the cylindrical 2d-fdtd to save the simulation memory and time, dramatically. ...

Upper Gotvand dam is constructed on the Karun River located in the south west of Iran. In this paper, 2D and 3D models of the dam together with the foundation and abutments were constructed and several seepage analyses were carried out. Then the gypsum veins scattered throughout the foundation ground and also the seepage pattern were included in the models, hence the dissolution law of gypsum, ...

abstract: compaction under tractors tires is of special concern because the weight of these machines has increased dramatically in the last years. these machines and others associated with crop cultural practices weight enough to significantly compact the soil, especially if the soil is soft with high moisture content during tilling, planting, or harvesting. the stress distribution and the size...

a new dynamic friction model for modeling of elliptical vibration assisted turning (evat) was developed in this research. the periodic change of the friction force direction is known to be one of the most important causes of this phenomenon. in modeling of machining processes (including the evat process), static coulomb friction model was employed by most of the researchers. because of the peri...

in this study, effect of slope on soil wetting pattern under surface drip irrigation and simulation with hydrus-2d model evaluated.the physical model made of plexiglas to size 83, 6 and 54 cm (length, width, height) filled with silty clay loam soil was used. to achieve the desired discharge, a small drip irrigation system created that includes a water tank with a fixed height (about 2 meters), ...

Because of diversity, complexity and poor information about non-layered orebody, it is difficult to be accurately described by regular geometry model. Mining engineers couldn’t accurately estimate the space distribution law of orebody's grade, quality and the total reserve according to the traditional 2-dementional (2D)graphics. So it is necessary to accurately establish non-layered orebody mod...

in 2d soccer simulation league, agents will decide based on information and data in their model. effective decisions need to have world model information without any noise and missing data; however, there are few solutions to omit noise in world model data; so we should find efficient ways to reduce the effect of noise when making decisions. in this article we evaluate some simple solutions whe...

the micro milling operation is one of the manufacturing processes, which can produce 3d parts in the range of less than a millimetre. miniaturization of components results in increasing the ratio of surface area to volume of components, which in turn increases the role of surface on the component performance. therefore, anticipating the relationship between micro milling parameters and surface ...
