Hydro-economic Modeling for Optimization of Sustainable Water Management of a River Basin in the Wake of Climate Change: Case Study of the Zarrine River Basin (ZRB), Iran
(2018-11)
Food and water security will be a great future challenge due to the growth of population and unsustainable water usage. The renewable water resources in the MENA region including Iran, are expected to decline. This situation is exacerbated by the increasing demands and the rising climate variability in the wake of global climate change affecting adversely the available water resources. This thesis research attempts to evaluate the impacts of climate change and water demands on the hydrological and environmental ...

Three-dimensional hydrodynamic and ecosystem modeling of warm-monomictic reservoirs (Maroon and Abolabbas, Iran) under the impact of 21st century climate change
(2021-11)
Lakes and reservoirs, as the endpoint of their upstream catchment, collect their water as the resultant of the hydrological and ecosystem processes and, thus, act as a gauge of their catchment’s management. Physical processes, e.g. stratification and mixing and propagation of density currents, are the main drivers of the biochemical factors in lakes and reservoirs and are prone to be altered and affected by climate change. Hydrodynamic models are the tools to simulate the behavior of the water body under various ...

Behaviour Study of Grouted Connection for Offshore Wind Turbine Structures with Brittle Cement Based Grouts
(2020)
Researches show that the energy demand in the world is significantly increasing and climate change becomes a problematic issue, therefore, the interest in renewable energy is growing extremely fast. Offshore wind energy is one of the most effective renewable sources in Europe and other places in the world. One of the most important parts in the offshore foundation is the grouted connection as it is the first element to be designed in the design of the foundation structure of an offshore wind turbine because the ...

Design of flexible pavements with cold recycled asphalt bases: Comparison of five national approaches
(2020)
The Application of reclaimed asphalt is becoming increasingly important in the European Road Network. Beside the conventional recycling options (i. e. hot asphalt mixtures), cold recycling has been successfully applied in numerous road structures within the secondary and the main road network. However, the standard design procedures for common pavement materials as well as the approaches for cold recycling differ from one country to another. The comparison of five national pavement design procedures shows, that ...

Estimating the Effects of Climate Change on the Water Resources in the Upper Indus Basin (UIB)
(2018)
Water balance calculations and spatially distributed rainfall-runoff models require high-resolution climatic datasets as the primary input, however, in the Upper Indus basin (UIB), it is rare to find in-situ observational climate data which have spatial, altitudinal and temporal coverage, suitable enough for distributed hydrological investigations and so for the assessment of climate-change’s hydrological impacts. The average precipitation amounts over the UIB are unrealistically low to sustain the observed discharge ...

Meshing highly regular structures: The case of super carbon nanotubes of arbitrary order
(2015)
Mesh generation is an important step inmany numerical methods.We present the “HierarchicalGraphMeshing” (HGM)method as a novel approach to mesh generation, based on algebraic graph theory.The HGM method can be used to systematically construct configurations exhibiting multiple hierarchies and complex symmetry characteristics. The hierarchical description of structures provided by the HGM method can be exploited to increase the efficiency of multiscale and multigrid methods. In this paper, the HGM method is employed ...

Lateral spreading in basal reinforced embankments supported by pile-like elements
(Kassel Univ. Press, 2008)
Bei Dämmen auf wenig tragfähigem Untergrund ist es zwischenzeitlich Stand der Technik, an der
Dammbasis eine Bewehrung aus hochzugfesten Geokunststoffen (Gewebe oder Geogitter) einzulegen.
Dabei können die Bewehrungslagen direkt auf den weichen Boden oder über Pfahlelementen
angeordnet werden, die die Dammlasten in tiefere, tragfähigere Schichten abtragen.
Die horizontale Bewehrung an der Dammbasis hat die Aufgabe, die vertikalen Dammlasten und
die nach außen wirkenden Spreizkräfte aufzunehmen. Dies ist besonders ...
