Neben der Berechnung der hydrologischen und hydraulischen Gegebenheiten in einem st{\"a}dtischen Einzugsgebiet geh{\"o}ren auch weiterf{\"u}hrende Technologien mittlerweile zum Standard. So k{\"o}nnen alle steuerbaren Elemente eines Kanalnetzes dynamisch so optimiert werden, dass die Leistungsf{\"a}higkeit des Kanalnetzes zus{\"a}tzlich gesteigert werden kann. Automatische Werkzeuge zur dynamischen hydraulischen Schmutzfrachtberechnung erm{\"o}glichen die Erweiterung der Steuerung - insbesondere von Entlastungsanlagen - im Hinblick auf die entlasteten Schmutzfrachten und geben dar{\"u}ber hinaus detaillierte Informationen f{\"u}r den Betrieb der Kl{\"a}ranlage. Weiterf{\"u}hrende biologische Prozessmodellierungen erg{\"a}nzen dieses Themenfeld. GIS Werkzeuge k{\"o}nnen bei der r{\"a}umlich differenzierten Modellierung von Kanalnetzen wertvolle Dienste leisten. Die detaillierte Betrachtung einzelner Haltungsfl{\"a}chen in ihrem r{\"a}umlichen Zusammenhang ist damit ebenso m{\"o}glich wie eine komplette Verwaltung aller f{\"u}r die Kanalnetzmodellierung notwendigen Daten in einem {\"u}bersichtlichen grafischen Men{\"u}. Die Grenzen der Kanalnetzmodellierung lagen in fr{\"u}heren Zeiten an dessen Rand. Detaillierte Informationen {\"u}ber die Wege des Wassers auf der Gel{\"a}ndeoberfl{\"a}che, an der Schnittstelle zu Vorflutern und in der Interaktion mit Grundwasser waren bisher nicht modelltechnisch bewertbar. Eine dynamische Kopplung verschiedener Modelle zur Darstellung aller relevanten hydraulischen Prozesse erm{\"o}glicht eine integrative Betrachtung aller m{\"o}glichen Wege, die das Wasser in der Stadt nehmen kann (Mark \& Djordjevic, 2006). Dieser Beitrag pr{\"a}sentiert den Stand der Technik f{\"u}r die integrierte Modellierung st{\"a}dtischer {\"U}berschwemmungen mit Hilfe der Modellkopplung von Oberfl{\"a}chenmodellen und Kanalnetzmodellen.}, subject = {Bemessung}, language = {de} } @inproceedings{KuhnhenneFeldmannDoeringetal.2007, author = {Kuhnhenne, Markus and Feldmann, Markus and D{\"o}ring, Bernd and Spranger, Sascha}, title = {Luftdichtheit im Stahlleichtbau - Geb{\"a}udeh{\"u}llen in Sandwichbauweise}, series = {Dichte Geb{\"a}udeh{\"u}lle, Thermografie und Wohnungsl{\"u}ftung : 2.

Unfortunately, the convergence of traditional trajectory optimizers that are based on numerical optimal control methods depends strongly on an adequate initial guess for the control function (if a direct method is used) or for the starting values of the adjoint vector (if an indirect method is used). Especially when many revolutions around the sun are re- quired, trajectory optimization becomes a very difficult and time-consuming task that involves a lot of experience and expert knowledge in astrodynamics and optimal control theory, because an adequate initial guess is extremely hard to find. Evolutionary neurocontrol (ENC) was proposed as a smart method for low-thrust trajectory optimization that fuses artificial neural networks and evolutionary algorithms to so-called evolutionary neurocontrollers (ENCs) [1]. Inspired by natural archetypes, ENC attacks the trajectoryoptimization problem from the perspective of artificial intelligence and machine learning, a perspective that is quite different from that of optimal control theory. Within the context of ENC, a trajectory is regarded as the result of a spacecraft steering strategy that maps permanently the actual spacecraft state and the actual target state onto the actual spacecraft control vector. This way, the problem of searching the optimal spacecraft trajectory is equivalent to the problem of searching (or "learning") the optimal spacecraft steering strategy. An artificial neural network is used to implement such a spacecraft steering strategy. It can be regarded as a parameterized function (the network function) that is defined by the internal network parameters. Therefore, each distinct set of network parameters defines a different network function and thus a different steering strategy. The problem of searching the optimal steering strategy is now equivalent to the problem of searching the optimal set of network parameters. Evolutionary algorithms that work on a population of (artificial) chromosomes are used to find the optimal network parameters, because the parameters can be easily mapped onto a chromosome. The trajectory optimization problem is solved when the optimal chromosome is found. A comparison of solar sail trajectories that have been published by others [2, 3, 4, 5] with ENC-trajectories has shown that ENCs can be successfully applied for near-globally optimal spacecraft control [1, 6] and that they are able to find trajectories that are closer to the (unknown) global optimum, because they explore the trajectory search space more exhaustively than a human expert can do. The obtained trajectories are fairly accurate with respect to the terminal constraint. If a more accurate trajectory is required, the ENC-solution can be used as an initial guess for a local trajectory optimization method. Using ENC, low-thrust trajectories can be optimized without an initial guess and without expert attendance. Here, new results for nuclear electric spacecraft and for solar sail spacecraft are presented and it will be shown that ENCs find very good trajectories even for very difficult problems.

Especially in expansion nozzles of rocket engines with large area ratio, flow separation can trigger strong side loads that can damage the structure of the nozzle. The investigation presented in this paper seeks to establish measures that may be applied to alter the point of flow separation. In order to achieve this, a supersonic nozzle was placed at the exit plane of the conical nozzle. This resulted in the generation of cross flow surrounding the core jet flow from the conical nozzle. Due to the entrainment of the gas stream from the conical nozzle the pressure in its exit plane was found to be lower than that of the ambient. A Cold gas instead of hot combustion gases was used as the working fluid. A mathematical simulation of the concept was validated by experiment. Measurements confirmed the simulation results that due to the introduction of a second nozzle the pressure in the separated region of the conical nozzle was significantly reduced. It was also established that the boundary layer separation inside the conical nozzle was delayed thus allowing an increased degree of overexpansion. The condition established by the pressure measurements was also demonstrated qualitatively using transparent nozzle configurations.}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{DiltheySchleserPuterman2007, author = {Dilthey, Ulrich and Schleser, Markus and Puterman, Moshe}, title = {Investigation and improvement of concrete reinforced with epoxy impregnated fabrics}, series = {Proceedings / 12th International Congress Polymers in Concrete, ICPIC 07, chuncheon, Korea, Sept. 26. - 28., 2007}, booktitle = {Proceedings / 12th International Congress Polymers in Concrete, ICPIC 07, chuncheon, Korea, Sept. 26. - 28., 2007}, publisher = {Kangwoon National Univ.}, address = {Chancheon}, isbn = {978-89-9600450-9}, pages = {725 -- 733}, year = {2007}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{Rohde2007, author = {Rohde, Raju M.}, title = {Integrierte Implizite Kanalnetzberechnung mit BaSYS-HydroCAD}, year = {2007}, abstract = {Dr.-Ing.

(DWA) einen Fachausschuss zur Erstellung eines Merkblattes M 103 „Hochwasserschutz f{\"u}r Abwasseranlagen" berufen. Das Merkblatt zeigt in den Kapiteln Konzeption, Planungsgrunds{\"a}tze und Hochwassermanagement eine strukturierte Vorgehensweise zur bestm{\"o}glichen Vorsorge zum Schutz der Abwasseranlagen im Hochwasserfall. Entsprechend den Forderungen des im Jahr 2005 verabschiedeten Gesetzes zur Verbesserung des vorbeugenden Hochwasserschutzes, floss in das Wasserhaushaltsgesetz unter anderem die allgemeine Verpflichtung jedes potentiell vom Hochwasser Betroffenen ein, geeignete Schutzmaßnahmen zur Schadensminimierung zu treffen. Hierbei werden speziell die Wasserversorgung und die Abwasserbeseitigung erw{\"a}hnt. Im DWA-M 103 wir detailliert dargestellt wie und mit welchem Aufwand die Abwasseranlagen zu {\"u}berpr{\"u}fen sind und wie hierzu ein Hochwasserschutzkonzept erstellt werden kann. Zus{\"a}tzlich werden Hinweise f{\"u}r die Planung von Abwasseranlagen in hochwassergef{\"a}hrdeten Bereichen gegeben, die den st{\"o}rungsfreien Betrieb im Hochwasserfall gew{\"a}hrleisten sollen. Schlussendlich werden das Hochwassermanagement und der Betrieb dargestellt und hier wichtige Anregungen gegeben im Ernstfall ausreichend vorbereitet zu sein. Das DWA-M 103 richtet sich in erster Linie an die Betreiber und Planer von Abwasseranlagen. Jedoch werden hier auch, gerade durch die Vielzahl von Checklisten, Kommunen Denkanst{\"o}ße und Anregungen f{\"u}r die Hochwasservorsorge/-schutz von {\"o}ffentlichen Geb{\"a}uden und Einrichtungen gegeben.}, subject = {Hochwasserschutz}, language = {de} } @inproceedings{Lohr2007, author = {Lohr, J{\"u}rgen}, title = {High Quality Streaming und High Definition Media Services}, year = {2007}, abstract = {In: Konferenzband zur Konferenz Medienproduktion 2007, 1.12.2008. 29 S.

Apophis will have a close Earth-encounter in 2029 with potential very close subsequent Earth-encounters (or even an impact) in 2036 or later, depending on whether it passes through one of several less than 1 km-sized gravitational keyholes during its 2029-encounter. A pre-2029 kinetic impact is a very favorable option to nudge the asteroid out of a keyhole. The highest impact velocity and thus deflection can be achieved from a trajectory that is retrograde to Apophis orbit. With a chemical or electric propulsion system, however, many gravity assists and thus a long time is required to achieve this. We show in this paper that the solar sail might be the better propulsion system for such a mission: a solar sail Kinetic Energy Impactor (KEI) spacecraft could impact Apophis from a retrograde trajectory with a very high relative velocity (75-80 km/s) during one of its perihelion passages. The spacecraft consists of a 160 m × 160 m, 168 kg solar sail assembly and a 150 kg impactor. Although conventional spacecraft can also achieve the required minimum deflection of 1 km for this approx. 320 m-sized object from a prograde trajectory, our solar sail KEI concept also allows the deflection of larger objects. For a launch in 2020, we also show that, even after Apophis has flown through one of the gravitational keyholes in 2029, the solar sail KEI concept is still feasible to prevent Apophis from impacting the Earth, but many KEIs would be required for consecutive impacts to increase the total Earth-miss distance to a safe value}, language = {en} }
