Verification and field comparison of the Sandia Waste-Isolation Flow and Transport Model (SWIFT)
The SWIFT Model has been developed and maintained by Sandia National Laboratories. The Nuclear Regulatory Commission has sponsored this work under its high-level nuclear waste program. SWIFT is a fully-coupled, transient, three-dimensional model. It is implemented by a finite-difference code which solves the equations for flow and transport in geologic media and is used to evaluate repository-site performance. This document represents an important part of the quality-assurance records for the code. Here the process simulators for flow, heat and radionuclide transport are examined using two different types of tests. The analytical verifications test SWIFT calculations against analytical solutions, and the field comparisons test SWIFT calculations against field data. Both types of tests yield good agreement between the SWIFT computations and the comparative data. 35 references, 56 figures, 25 tables.
