Turbulence and heat transfer are two critical factors in the chain of world energy
consumption. Hence, development of more efficient energy transfer techniques in …

Evolutionary algorithms (EAs) have been widely used to search for optimal strategies for the
planning and management of water resources systems, particularly reservoir operation. This …

Hypolimnetic aeration is an effective management strategy for mitigating oxygen deficiency
in dam reservoirs caused by thermal stratification (ThS). However, designing an optimal …

The selective withdrawal system (SWS) has often been used to alleviate downstream
temperature pollutions and in-reservoir unacceptable oxygen concentrations whilst …

Reservoirs are key components of water infrastructure that serve many functions (water
supply, hydropower generation, flood control, recreation, ecosystem services, etc.). Climate …

The modeling and monitoring of water-quality parameters is necessary because of the ever
increasing use of water resources and contamination caused by sewage disposal. This …

Many water needs are provided by reservoirs. Increasing water retention time in reservoirs
leads to thermal stratification and, consequently, affects the water quality of reservoirs. This …

The safety of prestressed steel structures in service has been studied widely. However,
traditional safety assessment methods for prestressed steel structures involve few sample …

Water temperature (WT) is a critical control for various physical and biochemical processes
in riverine systems. Although the prediction of river water temperature has been the subject …

A novel risk-based multi-objective compromise methodology was proposed for selective
withdrawal from a dam reservoir. Developed for devising a five-year optimal reservoir policy …
