DESCRIPTION

145       This  numerical  program  calculates  numerical  implicit transient and
146       steady state solute transport in porous media in the saturated zone  of
147       an aquifer. The computation is based on raster maps and the current re‐
148       gion settings. All initial- and boundary-conditions must be provided as
149       raster maps. The unit in the location must be meters.
150
151       This  module is sensitive to mask settings. All cells which are outside
152       the mask are ignored and handled as no flow boundaries.
153       This module calculates the concentration of the solution  and  optional
154       the  velocity field, based on the hydraulic conductivity, the effective
155       porosity and the initial piecometric heads.  The vector components  can
156       be visualized with paraview if they are exported with r.out.vtk.
157       Use  r.gwflow  to  compute  the piezometric heights of the aquifer. The
158       piezometric heights and the hydraulic conductivity are used to  compute
159       the  flow  direction and the mean velocity of the groundwater.  This is
160       the base of the solute transport computation.
161       The solute transport will always be calculated  transient.   For  stady
162       state  computation set the timestep to a large number (billions of sec‐
163       onds).
164       To reduce the numerical dispersion, which is a consequence of the  con‐
165       vection  term  and  the finite volume discretization, you can use small
166       time steps and choose between full and exponential upwinding.
167

NOTES

169       The solute transport calculation is  based  on  a  diffusion/convection
170       partial  differential  equation  and a numerical implicit finite volume
171       discretization. Specific for this kind of differential equation is  the
172       combination  of a diffusion/dispersion term and a convection term.  The
173       discretization results in an unsymmetric linear equation system in form
174       of Ax = b, which must be solved. The solute transport partial differen‐
175       tial equation is of the following form:
176
177       (dc/dt)*R = div ( D grad c - uc) + cs -q/nf(c - c_in)
178
179           •   c -- the concentration [kg/m^3]
180
181           •   u -- vector of mean groundwater flow velocity
182
183           •   dt -- the time step for transient calculation in seconds [s]
184
185           •   R -- the linear retardation coefficient [-]
186
187           •   D -- the diffusion and dispersion tensor [m^2/s]
188
189           •   cs -- inner concentration sources/sinks [kg/m^3]
190
191           •   c_in -- the solute concentration of influent water [kg/m^3]
192
193           •   q -- inner well sources/sinks [m^3/s]
194
195           •   nf -- the effective porosity [-]
196       Three different boundary conditions  are  implemented,  the  Dirichlet,
197       Transmission and Neumann conditions.  The calculation and boundary sta‐
198       tus of single cells can be set with  the  status  map.   The  following
199       states are supportet:
200
201           •   0  == inactive - the cell with status 0 will not be calculated,
202               active cells will have a no flow boundary to an inactive cell
203
204           •   1 == active - this cell is used for sloute  transport  calcula‐
205               tion, inner sources can be defined for those cells
206
207           •   2  ==  Dirichlet - cells of this type will have a fixed concen‐
208               tration value which do not change over time
209
210           •   3 == Transmission - cells of this  type  should  be  placed  on
211               out-flow boundaries to assure the flow of the solute stream out
212       Note that all required raster maps are read into main memory. Addition‐
213       ally the linear equation system will be allocated, so the  memory  con‐
214       sumption of this module rapidely grow with the size of the input maps.
215       The  resulting linear equation system Ax = b can be solved with several
216       solvers.  Several iterative solvers with unsymmetric  sparse  and  qua‐
217       dratic  matrices  support  are  implemented.   The  jacobi  method, the
218       Gauss-Seidel method and the biconjugate gradients-stabilized (bicgstab)
219       method.   Additionally  a  direct Gauss solver and LU solver are avail‐
220       able. Those direct solvers only work with  quadratic  matrices,  so  be
221       careful using them with large maps (maps of size 10.000 cells will need
222       more than one gigabyte of ram).  Always prefer a sparse matrix solver.
