Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsStochastic Inflow Simulation for Searching Rule CurvesAnongrit Kangrang, Anujit Phumphan, Witsanukorn ChaiyapoomRule curves are basic monthly guidelines for long term reservoir operation. Generally, the optimal rule curves are searched by reservoir simulation model and optimization techniques. A traditional reservoir simulation does not consider the risk of reservoir operation caused by natural uncertainty from inflow. A stochastic simulation model embedded genetic algorithm model is developed for searching the optimal rule curves in … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 3 · 31 Mar 2008 · 7,307 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsExploring Strategies for Parallel Computing of RS Data Assimilation with SWAP-GAShamim Akhter, Kiyoshi Honda, Yann Chemin, Putchong UthayopasAn agro-hydrological simulation model is useful for agriculture monitoring. One issue in running such model is parameter identification, especially when the target area is large such as provincial or country level. Remote Sensing (RS) provides us with useful information over large area. RS cannot observe input parameters of agro-hydrological models directly. However, a method to estimate input parameters of such … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2007 · 7,214 accessesView PDFCite
