Modeling, Simulation and Optimization of a Polluted Water Pumping Process in Open Sea

چکیده
The objective of this article is to find the optimal trajectory of a pumping ship, used to clean oil spots in the open sea, in order to pump the maximum quantity of pollutant on a fixed time period. We use a model previously developed to simulate the evolution of the oil spots concentration due to the coupling of diffusion, transport from the wind, sea currents and pumping process and reaction due to the extraction of oil. The trajectory of the ship is directly modeled by considering a finite number of interpolation points for cubic splines. The optimization problem is solved by using a global optimization algorithm based on a hybrid Genetic Algorithm. Finally, we check the efficiency of our approach by solving a numerical example considering based on real coefficients.
