Tóm tắt

An optimization-based tool for flow predictions in natural rivers is introduced assuming that some physical characteristics of a river within a spatial-time domain $$[x_{\min }, x_{\max }] \times [t_{\min }, t_{\textrm{today}}]$$ are known. In particular, it is assumed that the bed elevation and width of the river are known at a finite number of stations in $$[x_{\min }, x_{\max }]$$ and that the flow-rate at $$x=x_{\min }$$ is known for a finite number of time instants in $$[t_{\min },t_{\textrm{today}}]$$ . Using these data, given $$t_{\textrm{future}} > t_{\textrm{today}}$$ and a forecast of the flow-rate at $$x=x_{\min }$$ and $$t=t_{\textrm{future}}$$ , a regression-based algorithm informed by partial differential equations produces predictions for all state variables (water elevation, depth, transversal wetted area, and flow-rate) for all $$x \in [x_{\min }, x_{\max }]$$ and $$t=t_{\textrm{future}}$$ . The algorithm proceeds by solving a constrained optimization problem that takes into account the available data and the fulfillment of Saint-Venant equations for one-dimensional channels. The effectiveness of this approach is corroborated with flow predictions of a natural river.
