Faculty of Engineering and Information Sciences - Papers: Part A
A class of incremental learning procedures known as the Modified Temporal Difference (MTD) method is introduced in this paper for fixed-step prediction problems which uses the functional features of Multilayer Perceptron. The method is applied for weekly prediction of the Sea Surface Temperature (SST) from oceanographic data. Temporal Difference (TD) methods suggest how each output of a temporal sequence must be changed, whereas a back-propagation algorithm decides which part(s) of a network to change in order to influence its output and reduce the overall error. In other words, TD methods and back-propagation address temporal credit and structural credit assignment issues, …

The Dual Reciprocity Boundary Element Method For Magnetohydrodynamic Channel Flows, Song-Ping Zhu, Huan-Wen Liu
Faculty of Engineering and Information Sciences - Papers: Part A
In this paper, we consider the problem of the steady-state fully developed magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) flow of a conducting fluid through a channel with arbitrary wall conductivity in the presence of a transverse external magnetic field with various inclined angles. The coupled governing equations for both axial velocity and induced magnetic field are firstly transformed into decoupled Poisson-type equations with coupled boundary conditions. Then the dual reciprocity boundary element method (DRBEM) [20] is used to solve the Poisson-type equations. As testing examples, flows in channels of three different cross-sections, rectangular, circular and triangular, are calculated. It is shown that solutions obtained …
