Solute Transport in Prescribed Groundwater Flow, Preset Model
Application ID: 35521
Predicting the transport of solutes that move with subsurface fluids is of general interest in environmental engineering and geosciences. Solutes may not only be pollutants but also artifical tracers added to the groundwater for investigation purposes.
This model tracks a solute over an area of 16 square km during 1000 days in a prescribed ground water flow accounting for longitudinal and transversal dispersivity. The study uses a benchmark situation published by Zimmermann et al. (2001) and is compared to an analytical solution of Wilson and Miller (1978).
This model example illustrates applications of this type that would nominally be built using the following products:
however, additional products may be required to completely define and model it. Furthermore, this example may also be defined and modeled using components from the following product combinations:
- COMSOL Multiphysics® et
- soit le Module Battery Design, Module CFD, Module Chemical Reaction Engineering, Module Corrosion, Module Electrochemistry, Module Electrodeposition, Module Fuel Cell & Electrolyzer, Module Microfluidics, Module Porous Media Flow, ou Module Subsurface Flow
The combination of COMSOL® products required to model your application depends on several factors and may include boundary conditions, material properties, physics interfaces, and part libraries. Particular functionality may be common to several products.
