We present a new pre-processor tool written in Python that creates multicontinuum meshes for PFLOTRAN to simulate two-phase flow and transport in both the fracture and matrix continua. We discuss the multicontinuum modeling approach to simulate potentially mobile water and gas in the fractured volcanic tuffs at Aqueduct Mesa, at the Nevada National Security Site.
