Ding Ku · 2015

In order to solve the problems such as large computation error and low optimizing efficiency of conventional genetic algorithm in water supply networks design,a series of improvements are adopted,including economic velocity restraint,volume restraint and penalty function.And on this basis,the heuristic optimizing method is proposed based on prior information of economic flow.It is proved that the method can improve the convergence rate and optimizing efficiency of genetic algorithm and gain considerable accurate commutated result.Furthermore,pipeline networks design based on this method is more reasonable and low in engineering investment.
