Description:
The full report presents an overview of currently available computer-based simulation models for ground-water flow, solute and heat transport, and hydrogeochemistry in both porous media and fractured rock. Separate sections address multiphase flow and related chemical species transport, and ground-water management models. The study reflects the on-going ground-water modeling information collection and processing activities at the International Ground Water Modeling Center (IGWMC). The full report includes a section that defines ground-water modeling, presents the classification approach taken by the IGWMC and discusses different types of models and the mathematical approaches invoked for developing the models. Separate sections discuss and review the different categories of ground-water models: flow models, transport models, chemical reaction models, stochastic models, models for fractured rock and ground-water management models. The appendices include a listing and description from the IGWM Model Annotation Search and Retrieval System (MARS) database of selected models from each category.
