Abstract

Weirs are the oldest and most practical structures used to control, regulate, and measure flow in rivers or open channels. The ratio of the actual discharge, smaller than the theoretical discharge due to the separation zone and boundary layer development, to the theoretically discharge is defined as the discharge coefficient (Cd). Cd values are depended on the hydraulic properties of the open channel flow and the type and geometric properties of the weir. In this study, a total of 88 weir head (H0) of the trapezoidal broad crested weir with different upstream and downstream slopes are experimentally measured and Cd values are calculated according to the weir characteristics. Calculated Cd values are estimated by using eight different input combinations with the dimensionless parameters. Three different kernel functions (Linear, Polynomial and Gaussian) of Support Vector Machines method are used. To determine the performance of the models, Root Mean Square Error (RMSE), Mean Absolute Percentage Error (MAPE), and the coefficient of determination (R2) values are employed. As a result of the study, the Gaussian kernel function is the most successful model and the input combination is H0/L (L as crest height), ɛ (H0/(H0+L)), upstream slope (α) and downstream slope (ꞵ) parameters are found to be most successful model to estimate Cd values.

Özet

Savaklar, akarsularda veya açık kanallarda akımı kontrol etmek, düzenlemek ve akımın debisini ölçmek üzere kullanılan en eski ve pratik yapılardır. Akımda meydana gelen ayrılma bölgesi ve sınır tabası gelişiminden kaynaklı olarak teorik debiden daha küçük olan gerçek debinin, teorik olarak hesaplanan debiye oranı debi katsayısı (Cd) olarak tanımlanmaktadır. Cd debi katsayısı, açık kanal akımının hidrolik özelliklerine ve savak yapısının türüne ve geometrik özelliklerine bağlı olarak değişiklik göstermektedir. Bu çalışmada, farklı memba ve mansap eğimlerine sahip trapez geniş başlıklı savak akımına ait toplam 88 savak yükü değeri (H0) deneysel olarak ölçülmüş ve savak özelliklerine göre Cd değerleri hesaplanmıştır. Hesaplanan Cd değerleri, boyutsuz parametreler yardımıyla oluşturulan sekiz farklı girdi kombinasyonu ile Destek Vektör Makineleri yöntemindeki üç farklı çekirdek fonksiyonu (Lineer, Polinom ve Gaussian) kullanılarak tahmin edilmiştir. Oluşturulan modellerin performansını belirlemek için Karekök Ortalama Karesel Hata (KOKH) ve Ortalama Mutlak Yüzde Hata (OMYH), belirlilik katsayısı (R2) değerleri kullanılmıştır. Çalışma sonucunda, Gaussian çekirdek fonksiyonunun en başarılı model olduğu ve girdi kombinasyonu olarak savak yükü (H0) ve kret uzunluğu (L) olmak üzere, H0/L, ɛ (H0/(H0+L)), savak memba eğimi (α) ve savak mansap eğimi (ꞵ) parametrelerinin kullanıldığı kombinasyonun Cd değerini tahmin etmede başarılı model olduğu belirlenmiştir.
