Abstract:This study develops solutions for the hydraulically and most hydraulically efficient power-law sections (simple and complex). For this, the dimensionless objective function is defined as the wetted perimeter to the square root of the flow area. The objective function is then minimized. This study uses a simple procedure to establish the optimum dimensions. In comparison with the Lagrange multiplier method, this approach without any constraints is very simple for implementation. The optimization model of the si… Show more
