Parameter Calibration for the Tidal Model by the Global Search of the Genetic Algorithm

The current study has applied the Genetic Algorithm (GA) for the boundary parameters calibration in the hydrodynamic-based tidal model. The objective is to minimize the deviation between the estimated results acquired from the simulation model and the real tidal data along Taiwan coast. The manual trial-error has been widely used in the past, but such approach is inefficient due to the complexity posed by the tremendous amounts of parameters. Fortunately, with the modern computer capability, some automatic searching processes, in particular GA, can be implemented to handle the large data set and reduce the human subjectivity when conducting the calibration. Besides, owing to the efficient evolution procedures, GA can find better solutions in a shorter time compared to the manual approach. Based on the preliminary experiments of the current study, the integration of GA with the hydrodynamic-based tidal model can improve the accuracy of simulation.
