Optimization of Injectors Location in a Water Reservoirs Aeration Problem

Abstract EN

The aeration process via injectors is used to combat the lack of oxygen in water reservoirs due to the eutrophication problem.

The optimization of the injectors location allows to generate a better flow dynamic in order to remedy to this phenomena an preserve the water quality.

We propose to adapt the topological gradient method to this problem.

The idea consists of studing the topological sensitivity analysis of the considered model based on the three-dimensional-dependent time Navier-Stokes equation with respect to the insertion of an injector in the flow domain.

Finally the obtained results are used in a numerical algorithm and some numerical tests are presented to validate the used approach.
