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 …

Semi‐active control of dynamic response of civil structures with magneto‐rheological (MR)
fluid dampers has emerged as a novel revolutionary technology in recent years for …

This study firstly proposes some representative simple methods to obtain the suboptimal
passive dam** and stiffness parameters from the optimal control gain matrix since it is not …

This paper deals with the delay identification and control of irrigation channels, modelled as
lumped-parameter time delay systems, focusing on the difficulties imposed by the transport …

The management of irrigation main canals are studied in this research. One way of
improving this is designing an efficient automatic control system of the water that flows …

Irrigation canals are the main systems that convey water from sources to demand nodes.
Their performance is affected by climate change. In this research, the effect of climate …

In irrigation, most of the water is transported by networks of open-channel irrigation systems
(OCIS). In most cases, the OCIS are manually operated showing low efficiency. Then the …

In a traditional automated upstream controlled canal with a downstream buffer reservoir, the
process to fill the buffer reservoir requires one step: the inflow to the canal is increased, and …

The main function of irrigation canals is to transport water efficiently from a source to target
locations, but flow disturbances caused by farmer withdrawals often reduce water delivery …

(English) This thesis is devoted to exploring existing research around modeling, control, and
estimation strategies in OCIS, in order to identify improvement opportunities and propose …
