The channel design problem can be treated as an optimization problem in which the objective function is minimization of … the depth of earthwork under the ground surface. In this paper, a novel optimization technique, invariably called the … Modified Honey Bee Mating Optimization (MHBMO) algorithm, was utilized to solved the defined design problem. By investigation …

associated with the canal geometry and dimensions, it is possible to lower them by optimization of the mentioned objective … programming software was used to demonstrate and run the optimization algorithm. The results finally were illustrated in forms of … the subsidiary constraints in the optimization process. Copyright Springer Science+Business Media Dordrecht 2014 …

. Incorporation of this simulation model within an optimization-based management model is very complex and difficult. However, as an … alternative, it is possible to link a simulation model externally with an optimization-based management model. The GA …-based optimization approach is especially suitable for externally linking the numerical simulation model within the optimization model …
