Title: A Computationally Efficient Technique for Source Identification Problems in Three-Dimensional Aquifer Systems Using Neural Networks and Simulated Annealing

Contents: A non-gradient-based simulation/optimization technique is presented for source identification problems involving discrete and continuous decision variables. In this approach an artificial neural network is used as surrogate simulator of an existing density-dependent flow and transport model and simulated annealing algorithm as the optimizer. The source location and its strength are determined explicitly in a three-dimensional aquifer system. The methodology is efficient and robust and reduces the computational time burden to be negligible. Although a single source is demonstrated in this study, the methodology can be extended to multiple sources and problems involving unknown aquifer parameters.
