Landfill well group optimization layout method based on permeability coefficient field inversion

The invention discloses a landfill well group optimization layout method based on permeability coefficient field inversion, relates to the field of well group optimization layout, and aims to utilize a finite element forward model to couple observation water level data and perform dimension reduction processing on grid nodes through characteristic decomposition. The technical core is that a bimodal distribution nonlinear mapping mechanism is introduced, and a low-dimensional parameter vector obtained by inversion is reconstructed into a high-resolution permeability coefficient field with clear space information of a fracture domain and a matrix domain. And according to the physical field distribution, a potential poor wetting area is positioned by identifying the position of a preferential flow channel and a hydraulic response blind area caused by the preferential flow channel. And based on the spatial relationship between the geometric centroids of the blind areas and the heterogeneous flow field, performing targeted correction and encryption on the initial well group coordinates. In this way, the technical problem that in the prior art, precise well spacing cannot be conducted according to the complex structure in the landfill is effectively solved.

Three-dimensional quantification method of lateral preferential flow in dry-hot valley based on GPR detection and SSIM analysis

PendingCN122289582AAridHydrometry
This invention discloses a three-dimensional quantification method for subsurface lateral preferential flow in arid and hot valleys based on GPR (Geophysical Permeability Reduction) detection and SSIM (Spatial Infiltration Model) analysis. It integrates time-delayed GPR scanning with artificial infiltration experiments and applies SSIM analysis to depict LPF (Limited Placement Flow) path activation, network structure evolution, and humid zone distribution in a three-dimensional manner. This method achieves, for the first time, three-dimensional non-destructive quantification of the dynamics of the LPF network on arid and hot valley slopes. The established hydrogeophysical data acquisition and post-processing workflow provides a crucial and transferable research method for quantitatively analyzing the interaction between structural connectivity and process connectivity in slope runoff generation and confluence. This method overcomes the limitations of traditional two-dimensional slope LPF analysis by quantitatively characterizing the spatiotemporal dynamics of subsurface three-dimensional connectivity. It provides direct support for improving the water cycle mechanism in arid and hot valleys and improving hydrological models based on physical mechanisms, and provides a scientific basis for sustainable management decisions in water conservation areas of arid and hot valleys under climate change conditions.
