Underwater Cleanup of a Pool of Liquid Creosote
Aquifer Remediation Design: Nonlinear Programming and Genetic Algorithms
Nonlinear programming and genetic algorithm solutions of a pump-and-treat aquifer remediation design model are presented and discussed. These models find the minimum cost design of the...
Modeling Municipal Water Demands for a Pump Station Area
The Chasewood Pump Station/Residential Area in southwest Houston was selected for a detailed analysis of ground and surface storage water pumping by a University of Houston and City of...
Seismic Analysis of Failure and Loss of Function of Water Pumping Facilities
Water company managers evaluating potential seismic damage effects on a pumping facility will require a reasonable estimate of the probable magnitude earthquake that has potential to disrupt...
Model-Prototype Conformance of a Submerged Vortex in the Intake of a Vertical Turbine Pump
Submerged vortices are commonly found in sump intakes of vertical turbine pumps. These vortices are known to cause increased vibration and at times degrade pump performance. Approach flow...
Computer simulation of pulsed pumping for remediation under mass transfer limited conditions
The article presents the computer simulation of choosing the right time periods for interruption and pumping in the pulsed pumping process. It will calculate a set of criteria under mass...
Finnsjon Site (Sweden)—Interpretation of Interference Tests
Automatic Calibration of 3D Finite Differences Model Parameters— Application to the Finnsjon Site (Sweden)
Calibration of 3D finite difference model parameters is usually carried out using a noon-automatic 'manual' procedure until observed heads, for instance, are simulated with a sufficient...
A Comparison of Geostatistically-Based Inverse Techniques for Use in Performance Assessment Analyses at the WIPP Site—Results from Test Case No. 1
The groundwater flow pathway in the Culebra Dolomite aquifer at the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant (WIPP) has been identified as a potentially important pathway for radionuclide migration...
Coupled Simulation-Optimization Approach to Wellhead Protection Area Delineation to Minimize Contamination of Public Ground-Water Supplies
A loosely coupled simulation-optimization procedure is used to determine the steady-state pumping rates for individuals wells in a multiple well municipal wellfield that result in the...
Agricultural Water Conservation Technology Transfer
Efforts to implement computer programs which encourage water and energy conservation in the Columbia Basin, are described. Irrigators use the irrigation scheduling program to receive recommendations...
Tidal Pumping Effects in Coastal Loop Canals
During the last half century the world's coastal zones have been rapidly developed and urbanized, especially in the industrialized world. The coastline of the State of Florida is a typical...
Pumping or Slurry Walls—Which Works Best for Groundwater Containment?
Results of a numerical optimization model capable of designing containment systems for sites with three-dimensional groundwater flow indicate that site hydrogeology and economic considerations...
Finite Element Modeling for Land Displacements Due to Pumping
Verification Tests for Transport Modeling in Coastal Aquifers
The U.S. Geological Survey three dimensional Heat and Solute Transport (HST3D) model is used to simulate fate and transport of dissolved contaminant in coastal aquifers. The model originally...
Well Response in a Leaky Aquifer and Computational Interpretation of Pumping Tests
An analytic solution is derived describing flow in a horizontal confined leaky aquifer of infinite extent around a fully penetrating well of negligible storage capacity. The differences...
