The Study of Sensitivity Analysis of Parameters of Groundwater Numerical Simulation

Abstract:

This paper used both methods of single parameter and Multi-parameter combination sensitivity analysis in groundwater numerical model parameter sensitivity analysis. With the examples of Jiaozuo, Henan province, choosing coefficient of permeability, porosity and longitudinal dispersion degree as factor, the paper analysis the main controlling factors of contaminant migration of Hexavalent chromium in groundwater. Single parameter sensitivity analysis results show that the permeability coefficient gives largest impact to the migration of hexavalent chromium. It is positively correlates with groundwater numerical model. The rest of the parameters assume the inverse correlation. Multi-parameter combination sensitivity analysis results show that the permeability coefficient has absolute advantage among various parameter combinations. Another conclusion is that longitudinal dispersion degree affects smaller on the process of hexavalent chromium pollutants migration, but the impact on the final density is bigger.
