AbstractThe heat transfer improvements by simultaneous usage of the nanofluids and metallic porous foams are still an attractive research area. The Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) methods are widely used for thermal and hydrodynamic investigations of the nanofluids flow inside the porous media. Almost all studies dedicated to the accurate prediction of the CFD approach. However, there are not sufficient investigations on the CFD approach optimization. The mesh increment in the CFD approach is one of the challenging concepts especially in turbulent flows and complex geometries. This study, for the first time, introduces a type of artificial intelligence algorithm (AIA) as a supplementary tool for helping the CFD. According to the idea of this study, the CFD simulation is done for a case with low mesh density. The artificial intelligence algorithm uses learns the CFD driven data. After the intelligence achievement, the AIA could predict the fluid parameters for the infinite number of nodes or dense mesh without any limitations. So, there is no need to solve the CFD models for further nodes. This study is specifically focused on the genetic algorithm-based fuzzy inference system (GAFIS) to predict the velocity profile of the water-based copper nanofluid turbulent flow in a porous tube. The most intelligent GAFIS could perform the most accurate prediction of the velocity. Hence, the intelligence of GAFIS is tested for different values of cluster influence range (CIR), squash factor(SF), accept ratio (AR) and reject ratio (RR), the population size (PS), and the percentage of crossover (PC). The maximum coefficient of determination (~ 0.97) was related to the PS of 30, the AR of 0.6, the PC of 0.4, CIR of 0.15, the SF 1.15, and the RR of 0.05. The GAFIS prediction of the fluid velocity was in great agreement with the CFD. In the most intelligent condition, the velocity profile predicted by GAFIS was similar to the CFD. The nodes increment from 537 to 7671 was made by the GAFIS. The new predictions of the GAFIS covered all CFD results.

Steep Slopes

With increased urbanization, accidents related to slope instability are frequently encountered in construction sites. The deformation and failure mechanism of a landslide is a complex dynamic process, which seriously threatens people’s lives and property. Currently, prediction and early warning of a landslide can be effectively performed by using Internet of Things (IoT) technology to monitor the landslide deformation in real time and an artificial intelligence algorithm to predict the deformation trend. However, if a slope failure occurs during the construction period, the builders and decision-makers find it challenging to effectively apply IoT technology to monitor the emergency and assist in proposing treatment measures. Moreover, for projects during operation (e.g., a motorway in a mountainous area), no recognized artificial intelligence algorithm exists that can forecast the deformation of steep slopes using the huge data obtained from monitoring devices. In this context, this paper introduces a real-time wireless monitoring system with multiple sensors for retrieving high-frequency overall data that can describe the deformation feature of steep slopes. The system was installed in the Qili connecting line of a motorway in Zhejiang Province, China, to provide a technical support for the design and implementation of safety solutions for the steep slopes. Most of the devices were retained to monitor the slopes even after construction. The machine learning Probabilistic Forecasting with Autoregressive Recurrent Networks (DeepAR) model based on time series and probabilistic forecasting was introduced into the project to predict the slope displacement. The predictive accuracy of the DeepAR model was verified by the mean absolute error, the root mean square error and the goodness of fit. This study demonstrates that the presented monitoring system and the introduced predictive model had good safety control ability during construction and good prediction accuracy during operation. The proposed approach will be helpful to assess the safety of excavated slopes before constructing new infrastructures.

This paper aimed to investigate the application of ultrasound image segmentation technology based on the back propagation neural network (BPNN) artificial intelligence algorithm in the diagnosis of breast cancer axillary lymph node metastasis, thereby providing a theoretical basis for clinical diagnosis. In this study, 90 breast cancer patients with axillary lymph node metastasis were selected as the research objects and rolled randomly into an experimental group and a control group. Besides, all of them were examined by ultrasound. The BPNN algorithm for the ultrasound image segmentation diagnosis method was applied to the patiens from the experimental group, while the control group was given routine ultrasound diagnosis. Thus, the value of this algorithm in ultrasonic diagnosis was compared and explored. The results showed that when the number of hidden layer nodes based on the BPNN artificial intelligence algorithm was 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8, the corresponding segmentation accuracy was 97.3%, 96.5%, 94.8%, 94.8%, and 94.1% in turn. Among them, the segmentation accuracy was the highest when the number of hidden layer nodes was 2. The correlation of independent variable bubble plot analysis showed that the presence or absence of capsules, the presence of crab feet or burrs in breast cancer lesions was critical influencing factors for the occurrence of axillary lymph node metastasis, and the standardized importance was 99.7% and 70.8%, respectively. Besides, the area under the two-dimensional receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve of the BPNN artificial intelligence algorithm model classification was always greater than the area under the curve of manual segmentation, and the segmentation accuracy was 90.31%, 94.88%, 95.48%, 95.44%, and 97.65% in sequence. In addition, the segmentation specificity of different running times was higher than that of manual segmentation. In conclusion, the BPNN artificial intelligence algorithm had high accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity for ultrasound image segmentation, with a better segmentation effect. Therefore, it had a better diagnostic effect for breast cancer axillary lymph node metastasis.
