Abstract
An artificial neural network ANN model is proposed for the simultaneous determination of transmissivity and storativity distributions of a heterogeneous aquifer system ANNs may be useful tools for parameter identification problems due to their ability to solve complex nonlinear problems As an extension of previous study—Karahan H Ayvaz MT 2006 Forecasting aquifer parameters using artificial neural networks J Porous Media 95429–444—the performance of the proposed ANN model is tested on a twodimensional hypothetical aquifer system for transient flow conditions In the proposed ANN model Cartesian coordinates of observation wells associated piezometric heads and observation time are used as inputs while corresponding transmissivity and storativity values are used as outputs The training validation and testing processes of the ANN model are performed under two scenarios In scenario 1 all the sampled data are used through the simulation time However in the scenario 2 there are data gaps due to irregular observations By using the determined synaptic network weights transmissivity and storativity distributions are predicted In addition the performance of the proposed ANN is tested for different noise data conditions Results showed that the developed ANN model may be used in simultaneous aquifer parameter estimation problemsUn modèle de réseau neuronal artificel ANN est proposé pour la détermination simultanée des distributions des transmissivités et coefficients d’emmagasinement dans un système aquifère hétérogène Les ANN peuvent constituer des outils utiles pour les problèmes d’identification de paramètres grâce à leur capacité à résoudre des problèmes complexes nonlinéaires Dans la continuité de l’étude précédente—Karahan H Ayvaz MT 2006 Forecasting aquifer parameters using artificial neural networks Estimation des paramètres des aquifères par un réseau neuronal artificiel J Porous Media 95429–444—les performances du modèle ANN proposé sont éprouvées sur un système aquifère bidimensionnel hypothétique en régime transitoire Dans le modèle ANN proposé les coordonnées cartésiennes des piézomètres leurs niveaux piézométriques et les temps d’observation sont utilisés comme entrées et les valeurs de transmissivité et coefficients d’emmagasinement correspondants comme sorties Les procédures de mise en œuvre de validation et de test du modèle ANN suivent deux scénarios différents Dans le scénario 1 toutes les données acquises sont utilisées lors de la simulation tandis que les données présentent des lacunes dues à l’irrégularité des observations dans le scénario 2 Les distributions des transmissivités et coefficients d’emmagasinement sont estimées à partir des pondérations du réseau synaptique Les résultats ont démontré que le modèle ANN développé peut être utilisé dans le cas de problèmes simultanés d’estimation des paramètres des aquifèresSe propone un modelo de red neural artificial RNA para la determinación simultánea de las distribuciones del coeficiente de almacenamiento y de transmisividad de un sistema de acuífero heterogéneo Las RNA pueden ser herramientas útiles en problemas de identificación de parámetros debido a su capacidad para resolver problemas complejos no lineales Como parte de la ampliación de un estudio previo—Karahan H Ayvaz MT 2006 Forecasting aquifer paramters using artificial neural networks Predicción de parámetros de acuífero usando redes neurales artificiales J Porous Media 95429–444—se evalúa el desempeño del modelo propuesto RNA en un sistema acuífero hipotético de dos dimensiones en condiciones de flujo transitorio En el modelo RNA propuesto se usan como entradas las coordenadas Cartesianas de pozos de observación presiones piezométricas asociadas y tiempo de observación mientras que los valores correspondientes del coeficiente de almacenamiento y de transmisividad se usan como salidas Se utilizan dos escenarios para los procesos de evaluación validación y entrenamiento del modelo RNA En el escenario 1 todos los datos muestreados se usan a través del tiempo de simulación Sin embargo en el escenario 2 existen brechas en los datos debido a observaciones irregulares Mediante el uso de pesos de redes sinápticas determinados se predicen distribuciones de coeficiente de almacenamiento y de transmisividad Además se evalúa el desempeño de la RNA propuesta para distintas condiciones de datos con ruido Los resultados muestran que el modelo RNA puede ser usado en problemas de estimación simultánea de parámetros de acuíferos
