Abstract

Accurate estimation of solute transport has significant importance in water resources and environmental engineering. Among the various types of mathematical formulation for modeling of solute transport, the transient storage model has been widely applied by different researchers as an appropriate model. In this study, an improved version of symbiotic organism search (SOS) algorithm was used to estimate the parameters of transient storage model. A large set of data from natural rivers of USA was collected from the literature and used for derivation and validation of the algorithm. The performance of the algorithm was evaluated by standard statistical indices. Accordingly, the values of R and RMSE for transient storage model parameters (Kf, T and ε) were obtained 0.922 and 30.62 (for Kf), 0.596 and 5645 (for T) and, 0.643 and 0.019 (for ε) for whole dataset. In addition, the results of this study were compared with those obtained by different reserachers via other models. The results indicate the higher capability of improved SOS algorithim compared to the others in estimating the transient storage model parameters.
