A Comparative study of Simulated Annealing Algorithms and Genetic Algorithms on Parameters Calibration for Tidal Model

The manual trial and error has been widely used in the past, but such approach is inefficient. In recent years, many heuristic algorithms used in a wide range of applications have been developed. These algorithms have more efficiency than traditional ones, because they can locate the best solution. Every algorithm has its own niche application in different problems.
In this study, the boundary parameters of the hydrodynamic-based tidal model are calibrated by using the Simulated Annealing algorithms (SA). The objective is to minimize the deviation between the estimated results acquired from the simulation model and the real tidal data along Taiwan coast. Based on the real physics distribution of the boundary parameters, we aimed to minimize the sum of each station¡¦s root mean square error (RMSE). Genetic Algorithms (GAs) and Simulated Annealing Algorithms on parameters calibration for tidal model are compared under the same condition. GAs is superior on solving the problems mentioned above while both algorithms showed improved results. By setting the initial solution derived from GAs, the solving efficiency of SA can be improved in this study.
