Despite modern advances used to estimate the discharge coefficient (Cd), it is still a major challenge for hydraulic engineers to accurately determine Cd for side weirs. In this study …
The discharge coefficient (Cd) plays a vital role in the accurate design and safety of weirs, spillways, and dams. In the last decade, Soft Computing (SC) models, which showed …
For effective water resource management, water budgeting, and optimal release discharge from a reservoir, the accurate prediction of daily inflow is critical. An attempt has been made …
Magnesium alloys are popular in the aerospace and automotive industries due to their light weights and high specific strengths. The major disadvantages of magnesium alloys are their …
Wear tests are essential in the design of parts intended to work in environments that subject a part to high wear. Wear tests involve high cost and lengthy experiments, and require …
