Identification of Lower Boundary of Aquifer and Groundwater Parameters in Unconfined Aquifer by Genetic Algorithm

Optimizing remediation of an unconfined aquifer using a hybrid algorithm.

We present a novel hybrid algorithm, integrating a genetic algorithm (GA) and constrained differential dynamic programming (CDDP), to achieve remediation planning for an unconfined aquifer. The objective function includes both fixed and dynamic operation costs. GA determines the primary structure of the proposed algorithm, and a chromosome therein implemented by a series of binary digits repres...

Nitrogen loss by anaerobic ammonium oxidation in unconfined aquifer soils

Anaerobic ammonium oxidation (anammox) is recognized as an important process for nitrogen cycling, yet little is known about its role in the subsurface biosphere. In this study, we investigated the presence, abundance, and role of anammox bacteria in upland soil cores from Tianjin, China (20 m depth) and Basel, Switzerland (10 m depth), using isotope-tracing techniques, (q)PCR assays, and 16 S ...

Groundwater flow to a horizontal or slanted well in an unconfined aquifer

[1] New semianalytical solutions for evaluation of the drawdown near horizontal and slanted wells with finite length screens in unconfined aquifers are presented. These fully three-dimensional solutions consider instantaneous drainage or delayed yield and aquifer anisotropy. As a basis, solution for the drawdown created by a point source in a uniform anisotropic unconfined aquifer is derived in...

Atangana-Baleanu derivative with fractional order applied to the model of groundwater within an unconfined aquifer

The power law has been used to construct the derivative with fractional order in Caputo and RiemannLiouville sense, if we viewed them as a convolution. However, it is not always possible to find the power law behaviour in nature. In 2016 Abdon Atangana and Dumitru Baleanu proposed a derivative that is based upon the generalized Mittag-Leffler function, since the Mittag-Leffler function is more ...
