![عکس صفحه اول مقاله: Incipient motion design of sand bed channels affected by bed suction Incipient motion design of sand bed channels affected by bed suction](/preview/png/85373.png)
Seepage through sand bed channels in a downward direction (suction) reduces the stability of particles and initiates the sand movement. Incipient motion of sand bed channel with seepage cannot be designed by using the conventional approach. Metamodeling techniques, which employ a non-linear pattern analysis between input and output parameters and solely based on the experimental observations, can be used to model such phenomena. Traditional approach to find non-dimensional parameters has not been used in the present work. Parameters, which can influence the incipient motion with seepage, have been identified and non-dimensionalized in the present work. Non-dimensional stream power concept has been used to describe the process. By using these non-dimensional parameters; present work describes a radial basis function (RBF) metamodel for prediction of incipient motion condition affected by seepage. The coefficient of determination, R2 of the model is 0.99. Thus, it can be said that model predicts the phenomena very well. With the help of the metamodel, design curves have been presented for designing the sand bed channel when it is affected by seepage.
Research highlights▶ Downward seepage reduces the stability of particles and initiates the sand movement. ▶ Existing incipient motion approaches do not consider seepage as parameter in the analysis. ▶ Metamodeling technique has been applied to analyze the seepage affected incipient motion. ▶ Design curves have been constructed for the field application..Figure optionsDownload as PowerPoint slide
