Optimal Pumping for Aquifer Dewatering

摘要: A method is presented for determining the optimal well locations and steady-state pumping scheme dewatering a site. It uses finite difference approximations of ground-water differential equation as constraints in linear programming model. The was used to determine distributions patterns dry dock excavation Because currently available LP restricted solutions, auxiliary use made preceding transient numerical model predict times. Further development versions progress. Solutions alternate optimization problems may be achieved readily. For example, it might desirable restrict number wells or their locations. consider economic factors. Such solutions with modifications objective functions.
