Abstract In this paper, a meshless method based on Radial Basis Functions (RBF) is coupled with genetic algorithms for parameter identification to some selected groundwater flow applications. The treated examples are generated by the diffusion equation with some specific boundary conditions describing the groundwater fluctuation in a leaky confined aquifer system near open tidal water. To select the best radial function interpolation and show the powerful of the method in comparison to domain based discretization methods, Multiquadric (MQ), Thin-Plate Spline (TPS) and Conical type functions are investigated and compared to finite difference results or analytical one. Through two sample problems in… More >
