Optimal plume control based on advective transport

Author(s): A. Mulligan & D. Ahlfeld

Abstract:
A combined simulation-optimization model for designing a pump-and-treat groundwater remedial system that constrains the advective component of contaminant transport is described.

At many sites, data are insufficient to develop an advective-dispersive model and simulation capability may be limited to groundwater flow and advective transport (particle tracking).

In the past, when a full transport model has been unavailable, the groundwater quality management problem has been addressed by constraining hydraulic heads to force groundwater to flow toward extraction wells.

The imposition of these constraints implies knowledge of the size and shape of the capture zone; such a stipulation may overconstrain the problem and may not lead to the most effective design.

In the advect...
