Inversion Study of Hydrogeological Parameters for Metro Foundation Pit Confined Aquifiers Based on Surrogate Modeling by YE Ru, DI Honggui, ZHU Zhitai, ZHU Yilong, JIANG Bin, XIANG Longsheng, CHAI Dongsheng, YAO Qiyu

“…When these parameters are input into the numerical seepage model, the calculated data closely matches the measured data in all process, including the stage of rapid water level drop in the initial pumping, the stage of gradual change during the stabilization period, and the stage of water level gradual recovery after pumping stops, validating the feasibility of the inversion method. The use of deep learning-based surrogate modeling combined with optimization algorithms enables efficient and accurate inversion analysis of groundwater parameters.…”
