چکیده

در این مقاله، یک شبکه­ی عصبی مصنوعی جهت تعیین فراسنجهای آبخوان آزاد (قابلیت انتقال آبخوان، ضریب ذخیره، آبدهی ویژه و شاخص تأخیر) طراحی گردیده است. تابع چاه مربوط به آبخوانهای آزاد با روش پس انتشار خطا و به کارگیری الگوریتم بهینه سازی لونبرگ-مارکوآرت به این شبکه آموزش داده شده است. با اعمال روش تحلیل مولفه­ی‌ اصلی بر مجموعه داده‌های آموزش، ساختار شبکه با آرایش (3×6×3)، صرف نظر از تعداد داده‌های آزمون آبکشی، ثابت گردید و بازده­ی آن بطور قابل ملاحظه ای افزایش داده شد. این شبکه با دریافت هر مجموعه داده آزمون آبکشی واقعی، مختصات نقطه انطباق بهینه را تولید می‎کند، سپس مختصات نقطه­ی انطباق با حل تحلیلی بولتون (1963) ترکیب گردیده، و مقادیر فراسنجهای آبخوان محاسبه می‌شوند. توانایی تعمیم و عملکرد این شبکه با 100000 مجموعه­ی داده مصنوعی ارزیابی گردید و دقت آن با استفاده از داده‌های دو آزمون آبکشی واقعی با روش انطباق منحنی نمونه­ی کامل مقایسه شد. شبکه­ی پیشنهادی به عنوان یک روش جایگزین ساده‌تر و دقیقتر نسبت به روش مرسوم انطباق منحنی نمونه­ی کامل برای محاسبه فراسنجهای آبخوان آزاد توصیه می‌شود.

چکیده [English]

In this paper, an Artificial Neural Network (ANN) is designed for the determination of unconfined aquifer parameters: transmissibility, storage coefficient, specific yield, and delay index. The network is trained for the well function of unconfined aquifers by the back propagation technique and adopting the Levenberg–Marquardt (LM) optimization algorithm. By applying the principal component analysis (PCA) on the training data sets the topology of the network is reduced and fixed to [3×6×3] regardless of number of records in the pumping test data. The network generates the optimal match point coordinates for any individual real pumping test data set. The match point coordinates are then incorporated with Boulton analytical solution (1963) and the aquifer parameter values are determined. The generalization ability and performance of the developed network is evaluated with 100/000 sets of synthetic data and its accuracy is compared with that of the type curve matching technique by two sets of real field data. The proposed network is recommended as a simpler and more reliable alternative for the determination of unconfined aquifer parameters compare to the conventional type-curve matching techniques.
