Abstract: (467 Views) |
Groundwater resources are facing unprecedented pressures due to overexploitation and contamination. Effective management necessitates robust tools for understanding and predicting groundwater behavior. Numerical simulation models have emerged as indispensable instruments in this regard. This study employs a bibliometric analysis to explore research trends, influential authors, and journals within the field of numerical simulation and groundwater from 1997 to 2023. The analysis, based on the Web of Science Core Collection, reveals a substantial increase in research output over the past two decades. Journal of Hydrology, Water Resources Research, and Water emerged as the most prolific journals in the field. Wang Y was identified as the most productive author. While early research predominantly focused on spatial distribution and finite element methods, recent studies have shifted towards addressing complex hydrological processes such as inrush flow, drainage, and watershed management. The analysis also highlights the growing importance of computational advancements, including the integration of distributed parameters and isotopic analysis, in enhancing the accuracy and applicability of groundwater models. The findings underscore the need for continued research to address emerging challenges in groundwater management, with a particular emphasis on inrush currents and evolutionary algorithms as promising areas for future exploration. |
