Abstract: (9896 Views)
A new mathematical model for identifying pollution sources in aquifers is presented. The
model utilizes Lagrange Constrained Optimization Method (LCOM) and is capable to inversely
solve unsteady fluid flow in saturated, heterogeneous, anisotropic confined and/or unconfined
aquifers. Throughout the presented model, complete advection-dispersion equation, including the
adsorption as well as retardation of contaminant, is considered. The well-known finite element
method is used to discretize and solve the governing equations. The model verification is
implemented using a hypothetical example. Also, the applicability of the developed code is
illustrated by the real field problem of Ramhormoz aquifer in southwestern Iran.
