Optimization Model for Groundwater Management in Multi Aquifer Systems

1987-01-01
The use of embedding technique as a mechanism for coupling the simulation model of a particular groundwater system with an optimization model has been extended herein to multi‐aquifer systems. The combined management model is used to determine the optimal groundwater management schemes in a hypothetical multi‐aquifer system under transient and steady state conditions. The model enables the determination of optimal allocation of wells in different aquifers and their pumping rates to achieve a system‐wide maximum head distribution while satisfying the water production targets, well capacity restrictions, and lower bounds on hydraulic heads at critical points. Constraint and weighting methods of the multiobjective programming techniques are used to develop trade‐off curves relating the sum of hydraulic heads in the whole system as well as in individual aquifers at various water production targets. The generated trade‐off curves may enhance the decision maker's ability to select the best development policy from a set of alternative policies by considering other technological, financial, and legal constraints.

ANALYTICAL DYNAMIC-RESPONSE OF ELASTIC CAM-FOLLOWER SYSTEMS WITH DISTRIBUTED-PARAMETER RETURN SPRING
Ünlüsoy, Yavuz Samim; Tümer, Sami Turgut (1993-09-01)
An analytical method of solution for the high-speed dynamic response of a lumped/distributed parameter model for cam-follower systems is developed. The model combines the distributed parameter model of the return spring with a viscously damped, single degree-of-freedom, lumped model of the elastic follower train. The cam event is considered as a periodic motion, of period 360 deg, and is represented by its Fourier series approximation. Linear systems approach utilizing four-pole parameter representation of ...

Aerothermodynamic Shape Optimization of Reentry Capsule
Kutkan, Halit; Eyi, Sinan (2018-06-25)
This paper presents a hybrid method based on proper orthogonal decomposition (POD) with a trained radial basis function (RBF) network, on direct simulation monte carlo (DSMC) solutions for aerothermodynamic front surface optimization of Stardust reentry. Gaussian and multiquadric RBFs are implemented for comparison, and multiquadric functions are chosen due to their insensitivity to diverse shape parameters. Cubic uniform B-spline curves are used innovatively for parameterization of t...
