Abstract: A new approach for predicting local scour downstream of grade-control structures based on neural networks is presented. An explicit neural networks formulation (ENNF) is developed using a transfer function (sigmoid) and ...

Abstract: Experiments have been carried out to determine the streamwise variations of the mean flow properties of the hydraulic jump formed in sloping channels. Measurements of velocities have been made with hot-film anemometer for ...

Abstract: This is a pioneer study that presents genetic programming (GP) as a new tool for prediction of local scour downstream of grade-control structures. The objective of this study is to provide an alternative formulation to ...
