Design of modified structure multi-layer perceptron networks based on decision trees for the prediction of flow parameters in 90° open-channel bends

A modified multi-layer perceptron (MLP) model based on decision trees (DT-MLP) is presented to predict velocity and water free-surface profiles in a 90° open-channel bend. The ability of the new hybrid model to predict the velocity and flow depth in a 90° sharp bend is investigated and compared with...
