Water is the most important element of food production, and the easiest and most cost-
efficient way to transport it is through open-channel irrigation systems (OCIS). These types of …

The objective of this survey paper is to review the main methodologies used in the
development of models and in the design of controllers for irrigation canal systems. These …

This article deals with the regulation of water flow in open-channels modelled by Saint-
Venant equations. By means of a Riemann invariants approach, we deduce stabilizing …

The spin structure function of the neutron g 1 n has been determined over the range 0.03<
x< 0.6 at an average Q 2 of 2 (GeV/c) 2 by measuring the asymmetry in deep inelastic …

The integrator delay zero (IDZ) model presented by Litrico and Fromion is a simple way to
model a canal for control purposes that extends the classical integrator delay model. This …

A new method is proposed for controlling main irrigation canals with variable dynamical
parameters based on robust fractional order controllers. A methodology for designing PID …

The stability problem of a system of conservation laws perturbed by non-homogeneous
terms is investigated. These non-homogeneous terms are assumed to have a small C 1 …

A good model is necessary to design automatic controllers for water distribution in an open-
channel system. The frequency response of a canal governed by the Saint-Venant …

Using backstepping design, exponential stabilization of the linearized Saint-Venant–Exner
(SVE) model of water dynamics in a sediment-filled canal with arbitrary values of canal …

A new class of downstream water-level feedback controllers is proposed that can vary from a
series of individual proportional-integral (PI) controllers (each gate adjusted based on one …
