Fast harmony search algorithm and its application to hydrogeological parameters identification

In this article a new metaheuristic algorithm-harmony search algorithm(HS) is introduced into hydrogeological fields.Based on the improvement of the pitch adjustment step,we firstly put forward the fast harmony search algorithm(FHS).The proposed method greatly enhances the efficiency of the algorithm and accuracy of the solution.FHS is combined with MODFLOW to solve the problem of hydrogeological parameters identification.Examples of studies have shown that FHS algorithm has a strong global sear...
