Research on Intelligent Prediction of Suspended Load and Bed Material Load Particle Size in the Lower Yellow River
Exploring the particle size distribution of suspended load and bed material load in river channels helps to analyze the overall sedi-mentation situation of river sediment and provide feedback to guide the optimization of reservoir operation.In order to systematically grasp the distribution pattern of suspended load and bed material load particle size in the lower Yellow River,this paper collected and organized the water and sediment series data from 6 key sections such as Huayuankou in the lower Yellow River.Recursive feature elimination algorithm was used for variable selection,and a prediction model for sediment particle size in the lower Yellow River was built based on different ma-chine learning algorithms.The results show that the variable selection algorithm can effectively extract the main influencing factors in the mod-el,and when using machine learning models to predict the sediment particle size of different sections,the overall performance is good on the test set.The R2 values of suspended load and bed material load particle size prediction under each section optimization model are between 0.64 and 0.89,and 0.37 and 0.72 respectively.At the same time,when using 2020 data to further verify the predictive effect of the model,the predicted and actual values of suspended load and bed material load particle sizes R2 are also up to 0.609 7 and 0.445 6 respectively,which indicates that the built model can effectively achieve the prediction of sediment particle sizes in the lower Yellow River channel.
