Abstract This paper presents a novel approach for determining the best combination of groynes in terms of their number, lengths and positions for controlling bank erosion. The vulnerable bank is considered to be protected if a very small value of water flow speed is achieved on the near bank area. A linked simulation–optimization model is developed in this regard which minimizes the total construction cost of the groyne project. At the same time, a constraint in terms of low flow speed in a predefined zone is incorporated, which helps in bank erosion prevention. In the simulation model, the depth-averaged shallow water equations are solved using a finite difference scheme. The optimization problem is formulated in three different approaches to tackle different types of in situ field problems. Genetic algorithm (GA) is used to solve the optimization problem. The proposed optimization model is used in two hypothetical test cases including one straight channel and one meandering channel. The results obtained with all the three formulations are found to be logical and establish the potential of the present model for application in real cases.

An electrochemical sensor has been developed using methylene blue (MB) unctionalized graphite for the selective determination of dopamine in the presence of ascorbic acid. The immobilization of methylene blue on graphite was done by carbodiimide coupling method. The methylene blue functionalized graphite was characterized by SEM, FTIR spectroscopy and UV-visible spectroscopy. The immobilization of methylene blue functionalized graphite (MB-G) on the electrode surface was made by drop casting a small volume of MB-G dispersed methanol solution on the electrode surface. About 5 L of 0.5 % Nafion solution was also dropcasted for the stability and selectivity. The MB-G modified electrode was characterized by cyclic voltammetry. The modified electrode promotes the electrocatalytic oxidation of dopamine at a lower potential of 160 mV. The selective determination of dopamine in the presence of 100 times higher concentration of ascorbic acid was achieved by differential pulse voltammetry. The modified electrode offered a simple, selective and sensitive determination of low levels of dopamine. Also the oxidation over potential was reduced to an extent of 360 mV comparing with the bare graphite electrode. The proposed sensor has the advantage of easy fabrication, low cost, good sensitivity, reproducibility and stability.
