Optimization of the Groundwater Remediation Process Using a Coupled Genetic Algorithm-Finite Difference Method

In situ chemical oxidation using permanganate as an oxidant is a remediation technique often used to treat contaminated groundwater. this paper, groundwater flow with full hydraulic conductivity tensor and process through in are simulated. The numerical approach was verified physical sandbox experiment analytical solution for 2D advection-diffusion first-order decay rate constant. results were good agreement the of model solution. developed applied two different studies, multi-objective genetic algorithm optimise design. order reach optimised design, three objectives considering constraints defined. time desired concentration cost regarding number required sources design less than any arbitrary
