| Abstract | A computer model for simulating the real time operation of an
irrigation canal is developed to assist the management in making daily
operating decision for irrigation water delivery under flexible
demand. The method developed comprises of two models one for steady
state flow condition and the other for unsteady state case. The steady
state model solves the energy equations of a gradually varied flow. It
predicts the depths and discharges at selected sections of the system,
and computes the settings of gated in-line and off-line control
structures as well. The unsteady flow model uses the implicit finite
difference scheme for the numerical solution of Saint-Venant equations .
It predicts the discharge and depth hydrographs at each section of the
system and also computes gate settings of in-line and off- line control
structures as functions of time for a pre- established operation
scenario of the system. The developed mod e l is applied to the main
canal of the Kankai Irrigation Project in Nepal, which entails typical
structures and gives a comprehensive representation of an irrigation
canal system . |
