An inverse design method for determining the optimal tributary flow into a main stream in a rainstorm period

To ensure water quality at the control cross-section of main streams (CCMS) in a rainstorm period, an inverse design method was proposed to determine the optimal discharge flow of tributary rivers. The design variables are tributary discharges and the target variables are the required concentrations...

description To ensure water quality at the control cross-section of main streams (CCMS) in a rainstorm period, an inverse design method was proposed to determine the optimal discharge flow of tributary rivers. The design variables are tributary discharges and the target variables are the required concentrations of chemical oxygen demand (COD), dissolved oxygen (DO) and ammonia nitrogen (NH3-N) at CCMS. The relationship between target variables and design variables was identified using an artificial neural network (ANN). The database was obtained by Environmental Fluid Dynamics Code (EFDC) and the optimal tributary discharges were obtained by a genetic algorithm (GA) coupled with well trained ANN. The results showed the following results: (a) The relative prediction errors of ANN are mostly less than 5%. (b) When the inlet flow rate is 0 m3/s, 30 m3/s, 50 m3/s, 100 m3/s and 200 m3/s, the optimization total discharges of tributaries are 5.7 m3/s, 12.5 m3/s, 18.6 m3/s, 33.4 m3/s and 61.8 m3/s, respectively.
