Abstract
AbstractSimulation of a virus transport process in a groundwater aquifer is necessary for predicting the movement of viruses in an aquifer. It is also necessary in implementing remedial measures to inactivate viruses present in groundwater. For simulating the virus transport process in a groundwater aquifer, the parameters responsible for movement of viruses in an aquifer have to be estimated. In the case of saturated porous media, the transport parameters are linear distribution coefficient, hydrodynamic dispersion coefficient, and inactivation coefficient for aqueous and sorbed viruses. These parameters can be estimated using an inverse optimization procedure that minimizes an error function represented by the difference between the experimentally observed and simulated virus concentration. Gradient-based classical optimization methods can be applied to minimize the error function for estimating the parameters of the transport process. It is reported that the error function is nonlinear and nonconvex in...
