Description
Summary:The main purpose of this paper is to predict stream-way transition with genetic algorithm (GA) combined with the Operation Tree (OT), called GAOT. Therefore, the downstream stream-way transition according to the upstream conditions is forecasted by GAOT. Five main factors affect the stream-way transition including inflow position, inflow angle, slope, flow discharge, and sand content of suspended sediment were chosen as input variables. We selected two important cross sections nearby a damaged bridge of Ta-Chia River in Taiwan as a case study. The results show that GAOT has better performance than the traditional linear regression (LR) method.
