Groundwater numerical modeling studies at the Savannah River Plant: Status report

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5660753

This document describes the current status of groundwater modeling studies being performed at the Savannah River Plant. The models used range from one-dimensional analytical solutions to complex three-dimensional numerical finite difference and finite element codes. Both fluid flow and solute transport calculations are being performed. A total of fourteen modeling studies are described, some having been completed and others being implemented. Seven of the studies involve the modeling of specific sites. Five are models of areas on the plantsite and two are regional models which include the plantsite. These studies are performed both in-house and by subcontractors. For each of the studies the results to date are summarized. A summary description of the various codes being used at the Savannah River Plant is presented in an appendix to facilitate comparison, determine applicability to specific types of problems, and point out difficulties. 17 refs., 27 figs.
