Analysis and Approximation for Inverse Problems in Contaminant Transport and Biodegradation Models*
نویسنده
چکیده
In this paper we consider the problem of estimating transport and biodegra-dation parameters in a contaminant transport model. We develop a convergence theory for parameter identiication under approximation that includes the nonlinearities inherent in the biodegradation models. The functional analytic approach provides a means for studying a variety of solute transport and biodegradation problems.

Inverse modeling of BTEX dissolution and biodegradation at the Bemidji, MN crude-oil spill site.
The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) solute transport and biodegradation code BIOMOC was used in conjunction with the USGS universal inverse modeling code UCODE to quantify field-scale hydrocarbon dissolution and biodegradation at the USGS Toxic Substances Hydrology Program crude-oil spill research site located near Bemidji, MN. This inverse modeling effort used the extensive historical data compi...
متن کاملAn Assessment of Factors Affecting Reactive Transport of Biodegradable BTEX in an Unconfined Aquifer System, Tehran Oil Refinery, Iran
Risk-based assessment methods are commonly used at the contaminated sites by hydrocarbon pollutants. This paper presents the results of a two-dimensional finite volume model of reactive transport of biodegradable BTEX which have been developed for the saturated zone of an unconfined aquifer in the Pump station area of Tehran oil refinery, Iran. The model governing equations were numerically sol...
متن کاملContaminant transport and biodegradation in saturated porous media: model development and simulation
A mathematical model is developed to describe the contaminant transport, sorption, and biodegradation in saturated porous media. In the model development, sorption was accounted for as a kinetic process for the contaminant transport. In addition, a double Monod function was incorporated into the model to describe the biodegradation of contaminants and utilization of oxygen. In the description o...

Transport route planning is one of the most important and frequent activities in supply chain management. The design of information systems for route planning in real contexts faces two relevant challenges: the complexity of the planning and the lack of complete and precise information. The purpose of this paper is to nd methods for the development of transport route planning in uncertainty dec...
متن کاملApplication of Automatic Differentiation to Groundwater Transport Models
Automatic diierentiation (AD) is a technique for generating eecient and reliable derivative codes from computer programs with a minimum of human eeort. Derivatives of model output with respect to input are obtained exactly. No intrinsic limits to program length or complexity exist for this procedure. Calculation of derivatives of complex numerical models is required in systems optimization, par...
