A Solution for a Water Quality Model in a Uniform Stream Channel using New Iterative Method

During the last decade, political awareness of river water quality issues has increased significantly. New environmental policies have a requirement for improved methods for the investigation and evaluation of river water quality. Moreover, the derivation and assessment of management practices is also necessary. An efficient Perturbation Iteration Algorithm for solving the water quality assessment model has been developed. The employed equation of this uniform flow model is one-dimensional Advection-DispersionReaction equation that has variable coefficients. This water quality model requires the calculation of the substance dispersion considering the water velocity in the channel. Numerical values are obtained by using the Runge-Kutta-Fehlberg fourth-fifth order method for comparison. It was discovered that Perturbation Iteration Algorithm solution gels well with the numerical solution. Two examples are included to demonstrate the efficiency, accuracy, and simplicity of the proposed method.
