Determination of skin and aquifer parameters for a slug test with wellbore-skin effect
Hund-Der Yeh,Yen Ju Chen +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed a methodology for estimating the thickness of the wellbore-skin zone with other hydraulic parameters at the same time by combining the simulated annealing (SA) approach to estimate five parameters, i.e., three skin parameters and two aquifer parameters.

Optimization by Simulated Annealing
TL;DR: There is a deep and useful connection between statistical mechanics and multivariate or combinatorial optimization (finding the minimum of a given function depending on many parameters), and a detailed analogy with annealing in solids provides a framework for optimization of very large and complex systems.

Irrigation Water Requirements for Senegal River Basin
TL;DR: In this paper, a procedure is recommended for estimating crop water requirements that only requires the measurement of maximum and minimum temperatures, although calibrated for the Senegal River Basin using climatic data from four representative locations appears to be generally applicable for other areas without calibration.
