HYBRID SEDIMENT TRANSPORT MODEL FOR THE “LINGUADO” CHANNEL, STATE OF SANTA CATARINA, BRAZIL

Résumé 0

"This study involves an assessment of various artificial intelligence- related techniques which aim to produce a more robust system for sediment transport modeling. The intelligent systems developed in this research are directly applicable to academic knowledge and use data from a report on "water circulation assessment in the “ Linguado ” Channel and Babitonga Bay - Santa Catarina, Brazil", developed by the B razilian Military Engineering Institute ( Instituto Militar de Engenharia - IME). The solution employed for sediment transport was built using an intelligent system from the conception of two hybrid models. The first was a Neuro-Fuzzy (ANFIS) hybrid model f or the study of hydrodynamic behavior, aiming to determine flow rate in the channel. The second was a fuzzy genetic model, able to assess sediment transport in the “ Linguado ” Channel. The study's conclusion compares the different effects involved in the dr edging equilibrium in the “ Linguado ” Channel according to this hybrid model with the results obtained using a finite element model in the MIKE21 ® software."
