Title: Tmvoc-React

Software ·
OSTI ID:1252967

The TMVOC-REACT simulator was generated by replacing the fluid and heat flow part, TOUGH2, in TOUGHREACT with TMVOC. Both programs have been distributed to the public through the US Department of Energy's Energy Science and Technology Software Center. TMVOC is a program for three-phase non-isothermal flows of multi-component hydrocarbon mixtures in variably saturated heterogeneous media. TMVOC was initially designed for studying subsurface contamination by volatile organic compounds (VOCs), such as hydrocarbon fuels and industrial solvents. It can model the one-, two-, or three-dimensional migration of non-aqueous phase liquids (NAPLs) through the unsaturated and saturated zones, the formation of an oil lens on the water table, the dissolution and subsequent transport of VOCs in groundwater, as well as the vaporization and migration of VOCs in the interstitial air of the unsaturated zone. TOUGHREACT is a numerical simulation program for chemically reactive nonisothermal flows of multiphase fluids in porous and fractured media. A variety of subsurface thermo-physical-chemical processes can be considered under a wide range of conditions of pressure, temperature, water saturation, ionic strength, pH and Eh. Intractions between mineral assemblages and fluids can occur under local equilibrium or kinetic rates. The gas phase can be chemically active. Precipitation and dissolution reactions can change formation porosity and permeability. The program can be applied to many geologic systems and environmental problems, including geothermal systems, diagenetic and weathering processes, subsurface waste disposal, aid mine drainage remediation, and contaminant transport.
