Abstract

The deposition of sediments has a major impact on the hydraulic capacity of a channel. The deposition of sediment over time may result in a diminished ability of the sewers to carry waste and other materials. For designing sewers and drainage systems in urban areas, the self-cleansing mechanism is often deployed. In this study, the accurate prediction of the particle Froude number (Fr) plays a significant role. This study investigates the insights of the performance of the data-driven approaches to determine the particle Fr with regard to non-deposition with a deposited bed. The dataset obtained comprises variety of studies published in literature having a range of values for volumetric sediment concentration (Cv), the dimensionless grain size of particles (Dgr), the median size of sediment (d), hydraulic radius (R), and the friction factor of the pipe (λ). Three data-driven approaches, namely Random Forest (RF), M5Prime (M5P), and Reduced Error Pruning Tree (REPT), have been utilized in this study for modeling purposes. Results show that the RF approach is superior in comparison with M5P and REPT approaches. The best performing method in this study is RF (CC = 0.966, NSE = 0.932, RMSE = 0.64, and R2 = 0.933) followed by M5P, REPT.
