Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

In this study, we developed a Physics-Informed Neural Network (PINN) model integrated with the Navier-Stokes equations to simulate sediment transport and siltation in river channels.The model was designed to predict sediment deposition in complex hydrodynamic environments, using real-world data from the Syrdarya River and Shardara Reservoir and remote sensing data from Sentinel-1 and Sentinel-2 satellites.The PINN demonstrated a 10-15% reduction in computation time compared to traditional numerical methods like Ansys Fluent while maintaining high accuracy in predicting flow velocity, pressure, and sediment accumulation.By integrating physical laws and real-time data, this model has the potential to significantly improve flood management and river channel design, offering a faster, more adaptive approach to environmental hydrodynamic modeling.
