A great challenge today is conciliation of water resources utilization with the expansion of cities and human activities. Considering that the water quality of a given water body is necessarily evaluated through the analysis of some biological, physical and chemical parameters, mathematical and computational models able to describe the behavior of such parameters can be a useful tool, given their...
In the present work, the 1D flow and transport equations for open channels are numerically solved and coupled to a recently developed global search optimization, the particle collision algorithm (PCA), to estimate two essential parameters present in flow and transport equations, respectively, the bed roughness and the dispersion coefficient. The PCA is inspired in the scattering and absorption phenomena...
