Abstract
In this paper, a saltwater intrusion model, in view to study the dynamics of the interface between the saltwater and the freshwater in a coastal aquifer, is established. This dynamic is caused by an injection of saltwater and a freshwater pumping through a well located in a given position. From the flow model in each phase, we defined an appropriate hypothesis to obtain our global model based only on the height of the interface. The numerical simulation of our model led us to study the effect of the parameters and obtain some empirical laws of the pollution time versus the distance well-injection area and pollution time versus the pumping flow.
期刊介绍:
Modelling and Simulation in Engineering aims at providing a forum for the discussion of formalisms, methodologies and simulation tools that are intended to support the new, broader interpretation of Engineering. Competitive pressures of Global Economy have had a profound effect on the manufacturing in Europe, Japan and the USA with much of the production being outsourced. In this context the traditional interpretation of engineering profession linked to the actual manufacturing needs to be broadened to include the integration of outsourced components and the consideration of logistic, economical and human factors in the design of engineering products and services.
