muskingum-cunge is one of the widely employed methods for flood routing. direct calibration of the model based on previous flood events is not required and the routing parameters in this method are determined according to physical characteristics and hydraulic conditions of the stream. during the last decade, different modifications were proposed for the method to increase its accuracy. in this...

flood routing in rivers is a mathematical procedure to determine flow hydrograph at a point in a river. one of routing methods is based on solution of saint-venant equations for unsteady flows. because this method is very complex and need to more information of river, other methods with simple calculations and reasonably accurate results have been extended and give generally satisfactory result...

The Muskingum model is the most widely used method for flood routing in hydrologic engineering. However, the application of the model still suffers from a lack of an efficient method for parameter estimation. Particle swarm optimization PSO is applied to the parameter estimation for the nonlinear Muskingum model. PSO does not need any initial guess of each parameter and thus avoids the subjecti...

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...

In engineering, flood routing is an important technique necessary for the solution of a floodcontrol problem and for the satisfactory operation of a flood-prediction service. A simple conceptual model like the Muskingum model is very effective for the flood routing process. One challenge in application of the Muskingum model is that its parameters cannot be measured physically. In this article ...

in this research, performance of pattern search algorithm (ps) was investigated in order to optimize the nonlinear muskingum model parameters in contrast with the general algorithms, for wilson and karoun floods routing. wilson flood routing has been chosen to compare the ability of ps algorithm with other algorithms and, karoun flood routing has been chosen for a better evaluation of ps. the r...

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...
