Abstract

In this paper, a cleaning program involving effluent discharge of several species in a one-dimensional underground channel is considered. Due to environmental health requirements, the outlet concentration of each species at any time during the entire cleaning activities has to be kept at a certain low level in order to offset the deteriorating effect of contaminant destruction. Thus, a computational scheme using combined control parametrization and finite element method is used to develop a cleaning program to meet the above environmental health requirements. Numerical examples have been used to illustrate the efficiency of our method.
