Parameter Identification at Large Scale through Solution of the Inverse Problem
Abstract: The fundamental benefit of groundwater modeling is to predict the response of the aquifer to the proposed man-mad excitation (e.g., pumping artificial recharge). Inverse analysis is frequently used for large-scale real-world problems, where the number of unknown parameters that will fully represent the heterogeneity becomes very large and the inverse analysis solution becomes ill-posed, to overcome this problem, in the present paper the study domain is divided into zones connected …
