Abstract:

Wave height as well as water depth at the breaking point are two basic parameters which are necessary for studying coastal processes. In this study, the application of soft computing-based methods such as artificial neural network (ANN), fuzzy inference system (FIS), adaptive neuro fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) and semi-empirical models for prediction of these parameters are investigated. The data sets used in this study are published laboratory and field data obtained from wave breaking on plane and barred, impermeable slopes collected from 24 sources. The comparison of results reveals that, the ANN model is more accurate in predicting both breaking wave height and water depth at the breaking point compared to the other methods.

The use of wavelet - artificial neural network and adaptive neuro fuzzy inference system models to predict monthly precipitation

Precipitation forecasting due to its random nature in space and time always faced with many problems and this uncertainty reduces the validity of the forecasting model. Nowadays nonlinear networks as intelligent systems to predict such complex phenomena are widely used. One of the methods that have been considered in recent years in the fields of hydrology is use of wavelet transform as a moder...
