Capability Of Intelligent Techniques For Friction Factor Simulation In Water Channels
Abstract
This study proposes Meta model approaches as a new intelligent technique for the explicit formulation of friction
factors of water conveyance structures. For this purpose, experimental Data of movable bed Flume with dune bed form was
used. Analyzing the result clears the high capability of Meta model approaches (MNE= 0.05, R= 0.92) as a powerful tool for
optimizing and explicit simulation of Manning roughness coefficients of water conveyance structures compared other
nonlinear approaches.
