Wart, R J; Skiba, E L; Curtis, R H

Benchmark problems to test computer codes used in design of nuclear waste repositories are described. Problems with analytical solutions, hypothetical repository design problems, and problems simulating field experiments are used. Types of problems include: thermal conduction, geomechanical stress and coupled stress, groundwater flow, and temperature problems. Specific phenomena addressed are thermal conduction, convection, radiation, elastic stresses, plastic stresses, creep stresses, blast wave propagation, thermal expansion, and consolidation. 42 references, 57 figures, 13 tables.
