Most of river engineering problems are complicated and need to be analyzed by three dimensional models of flow and sediment transport. Considering the fact that computers and numerical methods with great ability of flow and sediment transport simulation are developing quickly, using numerical modeling by engineers is inevitable. Nevertheless, before application, numerical models need to be veri...

prediction the river flow discharge values are important in the surface water resources management. find an appropriate model to accurately predictionof this parameter is one of the most important ways to simulation and prediction. in this study three anfis, svm and gp models were evaluated and compared to modeling the monthly flow discharge of nazloochi river in tapik hydrometric station that ...

The paper presents the state-of-the-art in flood forecasting and simulation applied to a river flood analysis and risk prediction. Different water flow forecasting and river simulation models are analysed. An advanced river flood forecasting and modelling approach developed within the ongoing project INFROM is described. It provides an integrated procedure for river flow forecasting and simulat...

abstract accurate prediction of river flow is one of the most important factors in surface water recourses management especially during floods and drought periods. in fact deriving a proper method for flow forecasting is an important challenge in water resources management and engineering. although, during recent decades, some black box models based on artificial neural networks (ann), have bee...

in recent years, use of fuzzy collection theories for modeling of hydrological phenomenon's that is including complexity and uncertainly is considered scholars. so in this research, adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (anfis) is used for performance of river flow forecasting process. in this research, three parameters such as raining, temperature and daily discharge of lighvanchai basin ...

The influence of the most representative winter patterns of atmospheric variation in the Northern Hemisphere on precipitation variability and on river flow regimes was evaluated for the Miño River basin (NW Iberian Peninsula). The Arctic Oscillation (AO) was also considered in order to analyze the effect of a larger-scale atmospheric mode on precipitation and river flow. Precipitation data were...

Successful river flow forecasting is a major goal and an essential procedure that is necessary in water resource planning and management. There are many forecasting techniques used for river flow forecasting. This study proposed a hybrid model based on a combination of two methods: Self Organizing Map (SOM) and Least Squares Support Vector Machine (LSSVM) model, referred to as the SOM-LSSVM mod...

[1] We investigated how climate, rising atmospheric CO2 concentration, increasing anthropogenic nitrogen deposition and land use change influenced continental river flow over the period 1948–2004 using the Community Land Model version 4 (CLM4) with coupled river transfer model (RTM), a global river routing scheme. The model results indicate that the global mean river flow shows significant decr...
