Open-channel hydraulics are described by hyperbolic equations, derived from laws of conservation of mass and momentum, called Saint-Venant equations. In conjunction with hydraulic structure equations these are used to represent the dynamic behavior of water flowing in rivers, irrigation canals, and sewers. Building on a detailed analysis of open-channel flow modeling, this monograph constructs control design methodologies based on a frequency domain approach. In practice, many open-channel systems are controlled with classical input–outputcontrollers that are usually poorly tuned. The approach of this book, fashioning pragmatic engineering solutions for the control of open channels is given rigorous mathematical justification. Once the control objectives are clarified, a generic control design method is proposed, first for a canal pool, and then for a whole canal. The methods developed in the book have been validated on several canals of various dimensions up to a large scale irrigation canal. Shows the reader more efficient methods of controlling fluid flow that will help to conserve water and to alleviate flooding Gives the reader rigorous mathematical proofs of pragmatic engineering solutions to problems of flow control which have been tested in simulation and on real systems INDICE: Introduction.- Part I: Modeling of Open Channels.- Modeling of Open-channel Flow.- Frequency Domain Analysis of Open-channel Flow.- Finite-dimensional Models of Open-channel Flow.- A Simplified Model of Open-channel Flow.-Part II: Control of a Canal Pool.- Introduction to the Control of a Canal Pool.- Control of a Canal Pool with Hydraulic Structures.- Open-loop Control of aCanal Pool.- Proportional Integral Control of a Canal Pool.- H-infinity Control of a Canal Pool.- Part III: Control of a Multiple-pools Canal.- Decentralized of a Multiple-pools Canal.- H-infinity Multivariable Control of a Multiple-pools Canal.- Experimental Results on a Small-scale Canal.- Modeling and Control of Regulated Rivers.- Conclusion.- Appendices: Derivation of the Saint-Venant Equations; Proofs Related to Chapter 3; Time Domain Expressions Using Bessel Functions; Spectral Decomposition for Nonuniform Flow.- Boundary Control of and Hyperbolic System.
