Six ground-water management models were developed and compared to identify the best management alternative for the containment of a ground-water pollution plume in a hypothetical aquifer that is used for freshwater supply The proposed models are formulated as quadratic programming, linear programming, and mixed-integer programming models. Management models are grouped into two on the basis of treatment cost consideration. The optimal solutions of the models are compared and evaluated on the basis of total costs associated with the remediation system design. Sensitivity of the model solutions to variations in unit pumping and treatment costs are analyzed. The results of the models are quite different in regard to the number of potential interception wells completed, their pumping rates, resulting operation, and capital investment costs. Results show that considerable amounts of savings may be achieved through application of the mixed-integer programming models explicitly considering each of the cost components. Therefore, in remediation system designs that require installation of interception wells, ground-water managers should take into account the fixed charges incurred for each well that is introduced in the mathematical model.

Optimal aquifer dewatering schemes for excavation of collector line TOKGOZ, M; Yılmaz, Koray Kamil; Yazıcıgil, Hasan (2002-07-01) Groundwater flow modeling and optimization techniques are used jointly to determine the optimal dewatering system design for a trench type excavation (with 3,000 m total length) to be opened below the groundwater table in the Aksaray Organized Industrial District, Aksaray, Turkey. Four dewatering systems are simulated, optimized, and compared to choose the best system design. Two of the models are designed to minimize only the total amount of pumpage (linear programming models), while the other two explicit...
Impact of physical and chemical heterogeneities on optimal remediation design and costs Aksoy, Ayşegül (null; 2001-01-24) The impact of physical and chemical aquifer heterogeneities on optimal remediation design and costs is investigated by linking a genetic algorithm optimization library with a contaminant transport simulation model. Various levels of physical and chemical (sorption) aquifer heterogeneities are examined. In the first level, heterogeneity is limited to the hydraulic conductivity (K) field. Then systems with heterogeneity in both K and the distribution coefficient (Kd) are considered. The final level of heterog...
Impacts of physical and chemical heterogeneities on aquifer remediation design Aksoy, Ayşegül (American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), 2004-07-01) The impacts of physical and chemical aquifer heterogeneities on optimal remediation design, costs, and time to compliance are investigated by linking a genetic algorithm with a contaminant transport simulation model. Physical and chemical aquifer heterogeneities were grouped into three levels as follows: (1) hydraulic conductivity (K) heterogeneity only; (2) combined heterogeneity of K and the distribution coefficient (Kd); and (3) combined heterogeneity of K, Kd, and the mass transfer rate (α). Various deg...
Assessment of dewatering / depressurization requirements for the Çeltikci Coal Basin, Ankara - Turkey Peksezer Sayıt, Ayş; Yazıcıgil, Hasan; Department of Geological Engineering (2019) The dewatering requirements and their anticipated impacts on groundwater resources were evaluated for both open pit and a representative longwall panel using a 3D numerical groundwater flow model developed by FEFlow software. Eleven years of mining in the open pit was simulated by hydraulic head boundary conditions, whereas the modulation functions were used to de-/activate boundary conditions according to mine advance. The simulation results indicate that average groundwater inflow rate to the open pit is ...
Optimal control of gas pipelines via infinite-dimensional analysis Durgut, I; Leblebicioğlu, Mehmet Kemal (1996-05-15) A general optimal control approach employing the principles of calculus of variations has been developed to determine the best operating strategies for keeping the outlet pressure of gas transmission pipelines around a predetermined value while achieving reasonable energy consumption. The method exploits analytical tools of optimal control theory. A set of partial differential equations characterizing the dynamics of gas flow through a pipeline is directly used The necessary conditions to minimize the speci...
