Abstract

En 中文
Forecasting and operational routing flood requires accurate forecasts on proper feed time, to be able to issue suitable warnings and take suitable emergency actions. Flood-routing problem is one of the most complicated matters in hydraulics of open channels and river engineering. Flood routing is the process of computing the progressive time and shape of a flood wave at successive points along a river. To get an approximate solution of the flood-routing problem, different techniques are used. This paper describes an approach to train artificial neural network (ANN) using social-based algorithm (SBA). The approach illustrates feed-forward neural network optimization for the flood-routing problem of Kheir Abad River called FF-SBA. To this end, the number and effective time lag of input data in ANN models are initially determined by means of linear correlation between input and output time series; subsequently, the weights of the feed-forward network is optimized by SBA. Optimization algorithms and statistical models like Genetic Algorithm and linear regression are compared to FF-SBA. Compared to the results of optimization algorithms and statistical models, the FF-SBA model for the Kheir Abad River in Iran shows more flexibility and accuracy.
