Goal and objectives of the project
The project builds and applies modern calculation methods of the world to the construction of a water quality program that allows to calculate and simulate the process of flood propagation and substance transmission. By building a sensitive problem using optimal differential variables. The simulation model provides a theoretical method and calculation program for the gradient of the sensitivity function depending on the selected measurement location. From there, we can show that the measurement should be at the most suitable location to calculate the source of pollution emission. The main goals are written as follows:
To find the location of pollution source through the value distribution of the gradient of the sensitivity function over the calculated domain for the inverse problem of pollution source.
To achieve theoretical results on flow patterns, water pollution affecting domestic ecosystems in order to serve the needs of the people.
By using current calculation methods and developing new modern mathematical methods, the topic develops better sets of calculation subroutines to improve the quality of flow simulation, improve the ability to calculate water quality.
Main results
- Theoretical results: the project presents a new correction method to find pollution         source by variable optimization method.
- Applied results: The program is calculated and tested for the test problem of the pollution water flow of Thanh Nhan lake, Hanoi.
Novelty and actuality and scientific meaningfulness of the results

New method on the theory of calculating the sensitivity function gradient. The calculation program is implemented based on the above theoretical method and has calculated one example of the pollution problem of Thanh Nhan lake in Hanoi.
