Risk-based Optimization of Flood Diversion System of Karun4 Dam under Hydraulic and Hydrologic Uncertainties
Risk-based optimization in flood diversion system is a framework that allows the designer to involve uncertainties in the decision-making process and determine the reliability of the hydraulic structure. This study was conducted to incorporate hydrological and hydraulic uncertainties in the probabilistic design of Karun-4 diversion system in Khuzestan province, southwestern Iran. The risk-based multivariate probabilistic model was developed for determining the effect of uncertainty sources on the characteristics of the flow diversion system. For this purpose, the time series of annual maximum peak flow and maximum flood volume data for a period of 37 years were prepared and evaluated. Archimedean copula function and non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm were adopted to minimize the overtapping risk and construction cost as objective functions. Diameter, slope, wall covering and tunnel entrance height, cofferdam height at upstream and downstream were searched as decision variables in the possible space of the problem. The results show that optimal values of upstream cofferdam height, downstream cofferdam height and the diameter of the first and second tunnels were estimated as 44.5, 12.5, 10.5 and 9.9 m, respectively, all corresponding to 25-year return period. Moreover, the results suggest that the proposed framework could be valuable for decision makers when economic, hydraulic and hydrological uncertainties are expected.
