摘要

The adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (Anfis) is considered for flow over rectangular side weirs located on a straight channel as a substantial part of distribution channels in irrigation systems and treatment units. To estimate the outflow over a rectangular sharp-crested side weir, the discharge coefficient in the side weir equation needs to be determined in accordance with the effective dimensionless parameters F-1 (Froude number), L/b (weir length/channel width), L/h(1) (weir length/flow depth), and p/h(1) (weir height/flow depth). The discharge coefficient of rectangular side weirs was determined using 843 laboratory test results. The performance of the Anfis model is compared with multilinear and nonlinear regression models. The criteria used for the evaluation of the performance of models are root mean square errors (RMSE), mean absolute errors (MAE) and correlation coefficient (R) statistics. Comparison results indicated that the Anfis technique could be successfully employed in modelling discharge coefficients. It is found that the Anfis model with RMSE of 0.043 in the test period is superior in estimation of discharge coefficient than the multiple nonlinear and linear regression models with RMSE of 0.054 and 0.106, respectively.
