Abstract :

A new prediction method for wave-induced current over submerged break waters/reefs applying coupling analytical model and artificial neural networks (ANNs) is proposed. An ANN was designed and trained using generated current data from Analytical Current Model (ACM) developed by Gourlay and Colleter (2005). Calculated discharge using the proposed model was compared with the measured experimental data collected by Tajziehchi and Cox (2006). Comparison of calculated and measured discharge over submerged breakwater reveals the accuracy of the trained ANN model (using artificial data) and its capability in predicting discharged over submerged breakwaters/reefs.
