An application of local linear radial basis function neural network for flood prediction

Heavy seasonal rain makes waterway flood and is one of the preeminent reason behind flooding.Flooding causes various perils with outcomes including danger to human life,harm to building,streets,misfortune to horticultural fields and bringing about human uprooting.Thus,prediction of flood is of prime importance so as to reduce exposure of people and destruction of property.This paper focuses on applying different neural networks approach,i.e.Multilayer Perceptron,Radial Basis functional neural network,Local Linear Radial Basis Functional Neural Network and Artificial Neural Network with Whale Optimization to predict flood in terms of rainfall,gauge,area,velocity,pressure,average temperature,average wind speed that are setup through field and lab investigation from the contextual analysis of river“Daya”and“Bhargavi”.It has always been a troublesome undertaking to predict flood as many factors have influence on it although with this neural network models the prediction accuracy can be optimized using back propagation method which is a widely applied over traditional learning method for neural system because of its preeminent learning ability.The flood prediction system is built with the four models and a comparison is made which provides us the answer to which model is effective for the prediction.

Improving time series forecasting using elephant herd optimization with feature selection methods

The time series data is chaotic,non seasonal,non stationary and random in nature.It becomes quite challenging to discover the hidden patterns of time series data.In this paper the time series data is predicted with the help of a machine learning algorithm i.e.Elephant Herd Optimization(EHO).Three different types of time series data are used to testify the superiority of the proposed method namely stock market data,currency exchange data and absenteeism at work.The data are first subjected to feature selection methods namely ANOVA and Friedman test.The feature selection methods provide relevant set of features which is fed to the neural network trained with the method.The proposed method is also compared with other methods such as local linear radial basis functional neural network and particle swarm optimization.The results prove supremacy of EHO over other methods.

The prediction of external flow field and hydrodynamic force with limited data using deep neural network

Predicting the external flow field with limited data or limited measurements has attracted long-time interests of researchers in many industrial applications.Physics informed neural network(PINN)provides a seamless framework for combining the measured data with the deep neural network,making the neural network capable of executing certain physical constraints.Unlike the data-driven model to learn the end-to-end mapping between the sensor data and high-dimensional flow field,PINN need no prior high-dimensional field as the training dataset and can construct the mapping from sensor data to high dimensional flow field directly.However,the extrapolation of the flow field in the temporal direction is limited due to the lack of training data.Therefore,we apply the long short-term memory(LSTM)network and physics-informed neural network(PINN)to predict the flow field and hydrodynamic force in the future temporal domain with limited data measured in the spatial domain.The physical constraints(conservation laws of fluid flow,e.g.,Navier-Stokes equations)are embedded into the loss function to enforce the trained neural network to capture some latent physical relation between the output fluid parameters and input tempo-spatial parameters.The sparsely measured points in this work are obtained from computational fluid dynamics(CFD)solver based on the local radial basis function(RBF)method.Different numbers of spatial measured points(4–35)downstream the cylinder are trained with/without the prior knowledge of Reynolds number to validate the availability and accuracy of the proposed approach.More practical applications of flow field prediction can compute the drag and lift force along with the cylinder,while different geometry shapes are taken into account.By comparing the flow field reconstruction and force prediction with CFD results,the proposed approach produces a comparable level of accuracy while significantly fewer data in the spatial domain is needed.The numerical results demonstrate that the proposed approach with a specific deep neural network configuration is of great potential for emerging cases where the measured data are often limited.
