Abstract: There often is difficulty enforcing the given constraints when applying a genetic algorithm (a flexible stochastic search method) to optimal ground-water remediation design problems. This paper compares two methods for ...

Abstract: In groundwater problems, there always is some uncertainty associated with appropriate values for aquifer parameters. Therefore an optimal remediation strategy identified by assuming a deterministic description of the system ...

Abstract: This work explores the sensitivity of optimal remedial design policies and their associated costs to the residual constraint violation, which is the sum of any small violations in constraints that may occur over all points ...

Abstract: Two field tracer studies and some numerical model experiments were used to analyze the residence time of freshwater in Boston's inner harbor, and thereby help evaluate water quality impacts of combined sewer overflows. An ...
