Abstract:

In this study, the discharge coefficient of side weirs located on converging channels was simulated for the first time using a new method of Extreme Learning Machine (ELM). To examine the accuracy of the numerical model, the Monte Carlo simulations were used and the experimental values validation was conducted by the k-fold cross validation method. Then, the input parameters were detected for simulating the discharge coefficient. Subsequently, the number of the Extreme Learning Machine hidden layer neurons was determined using a trial and error process. In the next step, the most optimized activation function was also obtained. Then, using the input parameters, six ELM models were developed and the superior model and the most effective input parameter were identified through a sensitivity analysis. The superior model estimated the discharge coefficient values with an acceptable accuracy. For example, the values of the indices R2 and MAPE for this model were estimated 0.963 and 5.135, respectively and the Froude number at the downstream of the side weir (Fd) was introduced as the most effective parameter. Then, a relationship was provided for the superior model.

Effect of Height of Sharp-Crested Weir on Discharge Coefficient

Weirs have widely been used for the flow measurement, flow diversion and its control in the open channels. Attempts have been made to study flow over different shapes of normal weirs, side weirs and oblique weirs. This paper is connected with the development of the discharge coefficient measurement. In the present study four different weirs in different height are considered for validation purp...

Predicting the side weir discharge coefficient using the optimized neural network by genetic algorithm

Side weir is one of the structures which are widely used in water engineering projects So study on the flow characteristics especially discharge coefficient (Cdsw ) of this type of weir is important. Several Empirical formulas proposed to calculate the Cdsw that they usually associated with significant errors. Thus, using mathematical methods based on artificial intelligence is inevitable.

A laboratory investigation on the potential of computational intelligence approaches to estimate the discharge coefficient of piano key weir

The piano key weir (PKW) is a type of nonlinear control structure that can be used to increase unit discharge over linear overflow weir geometries, particularly when the weir footprint area is restricted To predict the outflow passing over a piano key weir, the discharge coefficient in the general equation of weir needs to be known. This paper presents the results of laboratory model testing of...
