Modeling Project 2 Part 3
Optimization and Calibration of HMS Model
Dr. Nelson
Overview
Here you will compare your results from part 2 with the observed data and perform calibration of the model. Although you have two models in HMS (CN and G&A), you will optimize only the G&A model for now. While performing optimization, you will optimize the following:
Optimize Green and Ampt parameters using Volume optimization as your objective function.
Optimize Clark parameters using Peak optimization as your objective function.
There is an automated calibration algorithm in HMS. Follow this tutorial to enter observed flow data and to perform Calibration/ Optimization.
You may change some of the optimized parameters if you find necessary to better match the observed flow.
You will get the observed flow data in a template where you will plug in your non calibrated results (from part2), observed data (will already be in the template) and your calibrated results (for Clark parameters and G&A parameters).
In your report, you are supposed to compare and discuss about the results from different models and parameter sets.
