	  abstract     = {Simulation of the flow and sedimentation process in
the reservoir dams can be made by two methods of physical and mathematical modeling. The study area was within a region which
ranged from the Jelogir hydrometric station to the Karkheh reservoir
dam aimed at investigating the effects of stream tubes on the
GSTARS-3 model behavior. The methodologies was to run the model based on 5 stream tubes in order to observe the influence of
each scenario on longitudinal profiles, cross-section, flow velocity and bed load sediment size. Results further suggest that the use of
two stream tubes or more which result in the semi-two-dimensional
model will yield relatively closer results to the observational data
than a singular stream tube modeling. Moreover, the results of
modeling with three stream tubes shown to yield a relatively close
results with the observational data. The overall conclusion of the paper is with applying various stream tubes; it would be possible to yield a significant influence on the modeling behavior Vis-a Vis the bed load sediment size.},
