  • Patent number: 11300430
    Abstract: A method for acquiring a canal flow rate, comprising: measuring an actual measure value of an upstream water depth and an actual measure value of a downstream water depth of a target canal; presetting the upstream canal flow rate and surface water infiltration rate of the target canal, and respectively acquiring preset values of each; substituting the actual measured value of the upstream water depth, the preset value of the upstream canal flow rate, and the preset value of the surface water infiltration rate into Saint-Venant equations, so as to solve the equations and obtain a downstream water depth simulation value of the target canal; when the relative error between the downstream water depth simulation value and the actual measured value of the downstream water depth is less than or equal to the preset threshold value, acquiring a viable upstream canal flow rate and a viable surface water infiltration rate; otherwise, optimizing the preset value of the upstream canal flow rate and the preset value of the
