An Artificial Neural Network Model for Predicting Longitudinal Dispersion Coefficients in Rivers
This study presents an artificial neural network (ANN) model to predict the values of the longitudinal dispersion coefficient ) ( l D in rivers from their main hydraulic parameters. The model can be considered as a useful aid to water quality monitoring in rivers. The ANN model is a relatively new promising technique which can make use of the river width, depth, velocity, and shear velocity for...
متن کاملEstimating longitudinal dispersion in rivers using Acoustic Doppler Current Profilers
a r t i c l e i n f o The longitudinal dispersion coefficient (D) is an important parameter needed to describe the transport of solutes in rivers and streams. The dispersion coefficient is generally estimated from tracer studies but the method can be expensive and time consuming, especially for large rivers. A number of empirical relations are available to estimate the dispersion coefficient; h...
متن کاملPool Effects on Longitudinal Dispersion in Streams and Rivers
Surface storage (pools, pockets, and stagnant areas caused by woody debris, bars etc) is very important to solute transport in streams as it attenuates the peak of a spill but releases the solute back to the stream over a long time. The latter results in long exposure time of biota. Pools as fundamental stream morphology unit are commonly found in streams with mixed bed materials in pool-riffle...
متن کاملSupport vector machine approach for longitudinal dispersion coefficients in natural streams
This paper presents the support vector machine approach to predict the longitudinal dispersion coefficients in natural rivers. Collected published data from the literature for the dispersion coefficient for wide range of flow conditions are used for the development and testing of the proposed method. The proposed SVM approach produce satisfactory results with coefficient of determination=0.9025...
متن کاملA Framework for Determining IT Effectiveness: An Empirical Approach
A framework has been developed to understand the factors that influence the benefits that an organization attains from the use of information technology (IT). The key elements of this framework include: a) the linkage between IT objectives and the specific IT investments; b) influence of IT investments, market and economic conditions, and organizational IT capabilities on the IT benefits and im...
