Efficient Data Assimilation Method for Optimizing Prediction of Flow Field and Sediment Transport in Open Channel

open access: yesRiver Research and Applications, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Accurately predicting open‐channel flow under complex conditions remains a challenge. This study introduces a novel synergetic self‐adaptive data assimilation (DA) framework, using a proportional‐integral‐derivative (PID) controller to dynamically calibrate the bed roughness parameter ks in a shallow‐water equation model (via the momentum ...
