Comparison of constant level and constant volume control method for open channel flow

Abstract:

Two closed-loop control methods, one for maintaining a constant water level at the downstream end of each canal pool and the other for maintaining a constant water volume in each pool, are compared using a test case set by the ASCE Task Committee on Canal Automation. Based on results obtained from hydrodynamic simulations, advantages and disadvantages of the two different control strategies are compared and analyzed.
