Abstract

A procedure to design stable channels is proposed in this paper. This procedure employs the concept of optimization, which requires the definition of an objective function and the consideration of governing system equations that describe the flow hydraulics involved, the bed erosion and mobility in the channel, and system requirements that set the design criteria. The advantages of this procedure are presented against the advantages of conventional procedures. As a case study, an existing project that was analyzed using conventional methods is analyzed using the optimization procedure.
