A new predictive control method for operating water regulating gate of dams is presented based on a hydraulic model. To consider the hydrodynamic behavior of surface waves through a reservoir, the shallow water equation is used with the discretization by the finite element method. This method provides the appropriate solution of outflow discharge which prevents the overflow of dam by the operation of water gate assuming that the inflow discharge is known as a function of some moment in the future. To show the applicability of this method, one dimensional channels with single and with multiple dams and Moriyoshizan dam reservoir have been computed as the numerical examples. It is shown that the water surface elevation of a reservoir is sufficiently controlled by the present method. 相似文献
Optimal design of arch dams including dam-water–foundation rock interaction is achieved using the soft computing techniques. For this, linear dynamic behavior of arch dam-water–foundation rock system subjected to earthquake ground motion is simulated using the finite element method at first and then, to reduce the computational cost of optimization process, a wavelet back propagation neural network (WBPNN) is designed to predict the arch dam response instead of directly evaluating it by a time-consuming finite-element analysis (FEA). In order to enhance the performance generality of the neural network, a dam grading technique (DGT) is also introduced. To assess the computational efficiency of the proposed methodology for arch dam optimization, an actual arch dam is considered. The optimization is implemented via the simultaneous perturbation stochastic approximation (SPSA) algorithm for the various conditions of the interaction problem. Numerical results show the merits of the suggested techniques for arch dam optimization. It is also found that considering the dam-water–foundation rock interaction has an important role for safely designing an arch dam. 相似文献
The effect of the initial states (disordered perpendicular cylinder structure vs. parallel cylinder structure) on the crystallization of polystyrene‐block‐poly(ethylene oxide) (PS‐b‐PEO) thin films during cyclohexane annealing was investigated. The cylindrical domains perpendicular or parallel to the surface were obtained by controlling the film thickness. During solvent annealing, for the film with the perpendicular cylinders, the ordering degree of cylinders was increased. The enthalpic increase is large enough for the forming of square‐shaped crystals, and subsequently the square‐shaped single crystals surrounded by the ordered hexagonally packed perpendicular cylinders evolved to the dendrite ones. For the film with the parallel cylinders, the parallel cylinders were translated to the perpendicular ones. The increased enthalpy was not large enough for the formation of square‐shaped single crystals. Instead, the dendrite‐like crystals started at the edge of terraces.
