Computer modeling of ground-water flow at the Savannah River Plant

Conference ·
OSTI ID:6810971

A predictive model for the space-time distributions of hydraulic head and ground-water flow velocity has been developed for the vicinity of the low-level radioactive waste burial grounds at the Savannah River Plant. The hydraulic head distribution is being modeled using a computer code that solves the ground-water flow equation using a three-dimensional finite-difference scheme. Steady-state calibration of this model is complete, and transient calibration is under way.
