大型水轮机综合特性曲线处理的研究

水轮机设计的基础理论是相似理论。选型设计决定水轮机性能参数尺寸,其中最关键的技术是水轮机特性曲线的处理,即模型综合特性曲线和真机运动特性曲线的处理。本文应用CAD技术,提出了特性曲线处理算法,极大地提高了水轮机方案设计的效率。该算法已经应用于国家863／CIMS重点应用示范工程中。     

不确定未知界的相似组合系统分散自适应输出反馈控制

研究一类具有加性振动的不确定相似组合大系统的分散自适应输出反馈镇定问题,给出了该系统输出反馈镇定的条件。受控系统的不确定项可以是非线性的或时变的,输入通道不确定性满足一般限制,系统的不确定项的界是存在的但却是未知的。所设计的确定性非线性控制器能保证受控系统渐近收敛于系统的平衡点,并且自适应律保持有界。最后进行了仿真研究,表明所得结论是正确脯效的。

Factors determining informal tanker water markets in Chennai,India

Many developing world cities have seen the emergence of informal markets where private tanker truck operators transport water extracted from peri-urban wells to urban consumers. This study adopted a systems-modelling approach to analyzing the informal tanker market in India. The results indicate that the demand for tanker supply was caused by lack of groundwater availability in private wells as well as unreliable piped supply. The study shows that two groundwater factors are relevant: depth to water and aquifer productivity. Together, these could explain the difference in spatial, temporal and consumer-specific variations in tanker dependence.     

A socioeconomic model for managing water resources in Alicante,southeast Spain

The study analyzes variables that influence the water management model based on a simultaneous relationship between competing demands in the Marina Baja of Alicante, using a methodology that directly links together urban and irrigation demands, making them relevant to each other from a socioeconomic point of view. The paper identifies the relevant variables of this model and the agent behaviour in a closed and joint system. It also aims to demonstrate that by considering water demands for different yet simultaneous uses and regarding clean and reclaimed waters as integrated resources, the system could remain in equilibrium without external water supplies.

Abstract

Defining and measuring sustainability is a major challenge. This article argues these limitations need not stop us from trying to identify and value the possible impacts of what we are doing, or are thinking about doing, over time periods much longer than the lives of our investments, or even of the lives of those of us living today. Sustainability is a relative concept that must be applied in an environment undergoing multiple changes, changes that are occurring over different temporal and spatial scales. We depend on our water resource systems for our survival and welfare. Yet no one expects them to be restored to, or survive in, their most productive pristine states in the face of increasing development pressures for land in their watersheds and for water in their streams, rivers, lakes, and aquifers. A continuing task of water resource planners and managers is to identify the multiple impacts and tradeoffs resulting from what we who are living today may wish to do for ourselves and our immediate children and what we can only guess our yet-to-be-born descendants may wish us to do, or not do, for them in some distant future. This task must involve professionals from other disciplines in a context much broader than just water management. Once these impacts and tradeoffs are identified, it is then up to the political process to make choices when they are in conflict. All of us need to be a part of this decision-making process.
