The goal of this study is to improve thermal comfort and indoor air quality with the adaptive network-based fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) model and improved particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm. A method to optimize air conditioning parameters and installation distance is proposed. The methodology is demonstrated through a prototype case, which corresponds to a typical laboratory in colleges and universities. A laboratory model is established, and simulated flow field information is obtained with the CFD software. Subsequently, the ANFIS model is employed instead of the CFD model to predict indoor flow parameters, and the CFD database is utilized to train ANN input-output “metamodels” for the subsequent optimization. With the improved PSO algorithm and the stratified sequence method, the objective functions are optimized. The functions comprise PMV, PPD, and mean age of air. The optimal installation distance is determined with the hemisphere model. Results show that most of the staff obtain a satisfactory degree of thermal comfort and that the proposed method can significantly reduce the cost of building an experimental device. The proposed methodology can be used to determine appropriate air supply parameters and air conditioner installation position for a pleasant and healthy indoor environment.

In this paper the capability of Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) is employed to deal with an Adaptive Network based Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS) model's inherent shortcomings to extract optimum fuzzy if–then rules in noisy areas arising from the application of nondimensional variables to estimate scour depth. In the model, a PSO algorithm is employed to optimize the clustering parameters controlling fuzzy if–then rules in subtractive clustering while another PSO algorithm is employed to tune the fuzzy rule parameters associated with the fuzzy if–then rules. The PSO model's objective function is the Root Mean Square (RMSE), by which the model attempts to minimize the error in scour depth estimation with respect to its generalization capability. To evaluate the model's performance, the experimental datasets are used as training, checking and testing datasets. Two-dimensional and nondimensional models are developed such that in the dimensional model the mean current velocity, mean grain size, water depth, pipe diameter and shear boundary velocity are used as input variables while in the nondimensional model the pipe, boundary Reynolds numbers, Froude number and normalized depth of water are set as input variables. The results show that the model provides an alternative approach to the conventional empirical formulae. It is evident that the developed PSO–FIS–PSO is superior to the ANFIS model in the noisy area in which the input and output variables are slightly related to each other.

AbstractHerein, a reactor of bubble column type with non-equilibrium thermal condition between air and water is mechanistically modeled and simulated by the CFD technique. Moreover, the combination of the adaptive network (AN) trainer with the fuzzy inference system (FIS) as the artificial intelligence method calling ANFIS has already shown potential in the optimization of CFD approach. Although the artificial intelligence method of particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm based fuzzy inference system (PSOFIS) has a good background for optimizing the other fields of research, there are not any investigations on the cooperation of this method with the CFD. The PSOFIS can reduce all the difficulties and simplify the investigation by elimination of the additional CFD simulations. In fact, after achieving the best intelligence, all the predictions can be done by the PSOFIS instead of the massive computational efforts needed for CFD modeling. The first aim of this study is to develop the PSOFIS for use in the CFD approach application. The second one is to make a comparison between the PSOFIS and ANFIS for the accurate prediction of the CFD results. In the present study, the CFD data are learned by the PSOFIS for prediction of the water velocity inside the bubble column. The values of input numbers, swarm sizes, and inertia weights are investigated for the best intelligence. Once the best intelligence is achieved, there is no need to mesh refinement in the CFD domain. The mesh density can be increased, and the newer predictions can be done in an easier way by the PSOFIS with much less computational efforts. For a strong verification, the results of the PSOFIS in the prediction of the liquid velocity are compared with those of the ANFIS. It was shown that for the same fuzzy set parameters, the PSOFIS predictions are closer to the CFD in comparison with the ANFIS. The regression number (R) of the PSOFIS (0.98) was a little more than that of the ANFIS (0.97). The PSOFIS showed a powerful potential in mesh density increment from 9477 to 774,468 and accurate predictions for the new nodes independent of the CFD modeling.

Abstract. The performance and stability of Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS) depend on its network structure and preset parameter selection, and Particle Swarm Optimization-ANFIS (PSO-ANFIS) easily falls into the local optimum and is imprecise. A novel ANFIS algorithm tuned by Chaotic Particle Swarm Optimization (CPSO-ANFIS) is proposed to solve these problems. A chaotic ergodic algorithm is first used to improve the PSO and obtain a CPSO algorithm, and then the CPSO is used to optimize the parameters of ANFIS to avoid falling into the local optimum and improve the performance of ANFIS. Based on the deformation data from the Xiaolangdi Dam in China, three neural network algorithms, ANFIS, PSO-ANFIS, and CPSO-ANFIS, are used to establish the dam deformation prediction models after data preparation and selection of influencing factors for the dam deformation. The results are compared using evaluation indicators that show that CPSO-ANFIS is more accurate and stable than ANFIS and PSO-ANFIS both in predictive ability and in predicted results.

The aim of this study was to develop a novel intuitionistic Type-2 fuzzy inference system (IT-2 FIS) which adopts a parameterized Yager-generating function and particle swarm optimization (PSO). In IT-2 FIS, the intuitionistic Type-2 is set as a fuzzy symmetrical triangular number in which the hesitation degree adopts the Yager-generating function, and the parameters of the proposed IT-2 FIS adopting the PSO are tuned. The intuitionistic and Type-2 fuzzy sets have been proven to be the most effective for handling more uncertainty. Therefore, this study proposes an intuitionistic Type-2 set with a Yager-generating function to enhance the conventional fuzzy inference system. Moreover, PSO can improve the fuzzy inference system by searching for the optimal parameters of IT-2 FIS. In this study, linguistic variables were represented by triangular fuzzy numbers (TFS). Two numerical examples were examined: capacity-planning and medical diagnosis problems. An approaching capacity-loadings example was used to verify that the proposed IT-2 FIS could effectively estimate the results of the capacity loadings. In the medical diagnosis problem, IT-2 FIS could obtain a higher correct rate by revealing experts’ knowledge. In both examples, the proposed IT-2 FIS provided more objective estimated values than traditional fuzzy inference systems (FIS) and Type-2 FIS.
