Identification of dominating factors affecting vadose zone vulnerability by a simulation method

The characteristics of vadose zone vulnerability dominating factors (VDFs) are closely related to the migration and transformation mechanisms of contaminants in the vadose zone, which directly affect the state of the contaminants percolating to the groundwater. This study analyzes the hydrogeological profile of the pore water regions in the vadose zone, and conceptualizes the vadose zone as sin...

solution of security constrained unit commitment problem by a new multi-objective optimization method

چکیده-پخش بار بهینه به عنوان یکی از ابزار زیر بنایی برای تحلیل سیستم های قدرت پیچیده ،برای مدت طولانی مورد بررسی قرار گرفته است.پخش بار بهینه توابع هدف یک سیستم قدرت از جمله تابع هزینه سوخت ،آلودگی ،تلفات را بهینه می کند،و هم زمان قیود سیستم قدرت را نیز برآورده می کند.در کلی ترین حالتopf یک مساله بهینه سازی غیر خطی ،غیر محدب،مقیاس بزرگ،و ایستا می باشد که می تواند شامل متغیرهای کنترلی پیوسته و گ...

Biodegradation in the Vadose Zone

Breathing of coastal vadose zone induced by sea level fluctuations

[1] Tide-induced variations in subsurface air pressure, mainly between 1.0 to 2.0 kPa, are observed in coastal areas in Hong Kong. A two-dimensional model which couples the two-phase air-water flow in unsaturated and saturated zones successfully reproduces the observed air pressure under no rain conditions. The simulation reveals that significant increases in air pressure depend on the tidal ra...

Hanford Site Vadose Zone Studies: An Overview

899 The Hanford Site is 1517 km2 (586 mi2) in size, located in a sparsely populated area in the rain shadow of the Cascade Mountains, adjacent to the Columbia River in southeastern Washington State (Fig. 1). The Hanford Site was set aside in the early 1940s by the U.S. Government to perform a top-secret mission, the Manhattan Project, for production of plutonium for atomic weapons used to end W...
