Well field management in urban areas faces challenges such as pollution from old waste deposits and former industrial sites, pollution from chemical accidents along transport lines or in industry, or diffuse pollution from leaking sewers. One possibility to protect the drinking water of a well field is the maintenance of a hydraulic barrier between the potentially polluted and the clean water. An example is the Hardhof well field in Zurich, Switzerland. This paper presents the methodology for a simple and fast expert system (ES), applies it to the Hardhof well field, and compares its performance to the historical management method of the Hardhof well field. Although the ES is quite simplistic it considerably improves the water quality in the drinking water wells. The ES knowledge base is crucial for successful management application. Therefore, a periodic update of the knowledge base is suggested for the real-time application of the ES.

This paper illustrates the power and versatility of the convex programming framework for optimal spline synthesis that was developed in a companion paper (Demeulenaere, Pipeleers, De Caigny, Swevers, De Schutter, and Vandenberghe, 2009, “Optimal Spines for Rigid Motion Systems: A Convex Programming Framework”, ASME J. Mech. Des., 131, p. 101005.). Two case studies concerning rigid motion systems illustrate the ability of the framework to improve upon recent (2005) literature results: (i) a numerical optimization study concerning kinematic optimization of uniform quintic splines for cam systems and (ii) an analytical study concerning time optimal quartic splines for motion systems driven by servomotors and subject to kinematic constraints. In a third study, the versatility of the framework is illustrated by generating time optimal and time-energy optimal motions for a rigid servomotor driven system under torque constraints. Based on these three case studies, the convex programming framework of the companion paper is extended with the following generic aspects: (i) a bisection to generate time optimal motions, (ii) a direct expression of the upper and lower bounds on motor torque, and (iii) a convex quadratic energy objective function for servomotor driven systems.
