Simulation of water flow through a porous soil by a Cellular Automaton model

  • Conference paper

Abstract

Soil bioremediation is a highly complex phenomenon and involves several disciplines at the same time, including fluid dynamics, chemistry and biology. A cellular automata model is currently under development, which deals with all these kinds of phenomena. In this paper the fluid dynamical aspects of this model are discussed, and some comparisons with experimental data are presented. Genetic algorithms have been applied in order to tune the model to a specific case.
