Application of Neural network to characterize a storm beach profile / 以類神經網路模擬暴浪型海灘剖面特徵

碩士 / 國立中山大學 / 海洋環境及工程學系研究所 / 98 / Taiwan is a small island state surrounded by the oceans but with large population. With limited land space, it would be worthwhile considering how to stabilize the existing coast or to create stable artificial beaches. Under the onslaught of storm surge and large wave from typhoons, beach erosion would occur accompanying by formation of a submerged bar beyond the surf zone with the sand removed from the beach. After the storm, the bar material maybe transport back by the swell and predominant waves which helps recover the original beach, thus producing a beach profile in dynamic equilibrium.
The main purpose of this research is to use the back-propagation neural network(BPNN), which trains a sample model and creates a system for the estimation, prediction, decision making and verification of an anticipated event. By the BPNN, we can simulate the key characteristic parameters for the storm beach profile resulting from typhoon action. Source data for training and verification are taken from the experimental results of beach profile change observed in large-scale wave tank(LWT)conducted by Coastal Engineering Research Center(CERC)in the USA in the 1960s and that from the Central Research Institute of Electric Power Industry in Japan in the 1980s. Some of the data are used as training pairs and others for verification and prediction of the key parameters of berm erosion and bar formation. Through literature review and simulation on the related parameters for storm beach profile, methodology for the prediction of the beach profile and bar/berm characteristics can be established.
