Abstract
Water structures known as diversion weirs are built to control water flow and raise water levels. There are two distinct goals for this investigation. Making a minimal cost structure profile is the first step. Finding the constraint functions that are significant in various scenarios is the second step. While performing optimization, it is necessary to provide all constraint functions. On the other hand, while a single constraint function takes a value close to the limit value, the others move towards a safer area. The research looks at the most significant constraint functions considering this circumstance. One of the meta-heuristic techniques, the Grey Wolf algorithm, was used for these two goals. 500 iterations and 100 Grey Wolves were utilized while all models were running. Furthermore, every scenario will be executed thirty times, and the mean and standard deviation of the outcomes will be analyzed to assess the models' dependability. Finally, an interface that users who do not know how to use the program can easily use was created, and it was turned into a simple application.
期刊介绍:
Physics and Chemistry of the Earth is an international interdisciplinary journal for the rapid publication of collections of refereed communications in separate thematic issues, either stemming from scientific meetings, or, especially compiled for the occasion. There is no restriction on the length of articles published in the journal. Physics and Chemistry of the Earth incorporates the separate Parts A, B and C which existed until the end of 2001.
Please note: the Editors are unable to consider submissions that are not invited or linked to a thematic issue. Please do not submit unsolicited papers.
The journal covers the following subject areas:
-Solid Earth and Geodesy:
(geology, geochemistry, tectonophysics, seismology, volcanology, palaeomagnetism and rock magnetism, electromagnetism and potential fields, marine and environmental geosciences as well as geodesy).
-Hydrology, Oceans and Atmosphere:
(hydrology and water resources research, engineering and management, oceanography and oceanic chemistry, shelf, sea, lake and river sciences, meteorology and atmospheric sciences incl. chemistry as well as climatology and glaciology).
-Solar-Terrestrial and Planetary Science:
(solar, heliospheric and solar-planetary sciences, geology, geophysics and atmospheric sciences of planets, satellites and small bodies as well as cosmochemistry and exobiology).
