چکیده
An improved neuro-fuzzy based group method of data handling using the particle swarm optimization (NF-GMDH-PSO) is developed as an adaptive learning network to predict the localized scour downstream of a sluice gate with an apron. The input characteristic parameters affecting the scour depth are the sediment size and its gradation, apron length, sluice gate opening, and the flow conditions upstream and downstream of the sluice gate. Six non-dimensional parameters were yielded to define a functional relationship between the input and output variables. The training and testing of the NF-GMDH network are performed using published scour data from the literature. The efficiency of the training stages for the NF-GMDH-PSO is investigated. The testing results for the NF-GMDH network are compared with the traditional approaches based on regression method. A sensitivity analysis is carried out to assign the most significant parameter for the scour prediction. The results showed that the NF-GMDH-PSO network produced lower error in scour prediction than all other models.

متن کاملOptimization and design of Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System using Particle Swarm Optimization and Fuzzy C-Means Clustering to predict the scour after bucket spillway
Additionally, if the materials at downstream of bucket spillway are erodible, the ogee spillway is likely to overturn by the time. Therefore, the prediction of the scour after bucket spillway is pretty important. In this study, the scour depths at downstream of bucket spillway are modeled using a new meta-heuristic model. This model is developed by combination of the Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Infere...

متن کاملEstimation of current-induced scour depth around pile groups using neural network and adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system
The process of local scour around bridge piers is fundamentally complex due to the three-dimensional flow patterns interacting with bed materials. For geotechnical and economical reasons, multiple pile bridge piers have become more and more popular in bridge design. Although many studies have been carried out to develop relationships for the maximum scour depth at pile groups under clear-water ...
متن کاملAnfis-based Approach to Scour Prediction at the Grade Control Structures
An assessment of maximum scour depth downstream of grade control structure is essential for its proper planning, design and management. Most of the scour depth prediction formulae available in the literature have been developed based on the analysis of the laboratory/field data using the statistical method such as the regression method (RM). The alternative recent approaches such as artificial ...
