VALOR code version 1. 0: A PC code for simulating immiscible contaminant transport in subsurface systems
- Michigan Univ., Ann Arbor, MI (United States). Dept. of Civil and Environmental Engineering
A two-dimensional numerical model for immiscible multiphase fluid flow in subsurface systems was developed. The model is entitled Vertical and Lateral Organic Redistribution (VALOR). VALOR is capable of simulating the vertical and lateral simultaneous migration of water, air, and nonaqueous phase liquids (NAPLs) in heterogeneous soils with horizontally aligned geologic strata. It can be used to investigate the lateral migration of light organic liquids (SG < 1) across the water table, as well as the downward percolation of dense organic liquids (SG > 1) through the saturated zone. Optional features allow for transport over a sloping water table. The model is primarily intended as a planning tool for site assessment and permitting studies.
