  2. Purpose • Demonstrate Hierarchical Modeling by Linking to Science-Support Models • Perform a 3-D Numerical RT3D Groundwater Simulation • Perform a Semi-analytical Groundwater Simulation 2

  3. FRAMES and GMS • GMS is the most sophisticated/comprehensive groundwater modeling package, containing numerous numerical models and support features • ONLY GROUNDWATER • FRAMES seamlessly links user-defined disparate models, databases, and modeling systems to transfer data 3

  4. MT3DMS and RT3D • MT3DMS is a modular, 3-D, multi-species transport model for the simulation of advection, dispersion, and limited chemical reactions • Zero- or first-order decay of individual chemicals (no chain formation) • RT3D is essentially MT3DMS with significantly enhanced reaction capabilities • Multi-species reactive transport with chain formation • Complex reaction kinetics with linked reactions, parallel pathways, etc. • Reaction kinetics for any chemical system of interest, including a mixture of mobile and immobile components 4

  5. FRAMES and GMS Linkage/Run Protocol • Set up a calibrated problem within GMS • Stand-alone application • Generate a GMS Project file (*.gpr) and associated files • No intent to duplicate GMS functionality within FRAMES • Map GMS contaminant names to FRAMES contaminant names • Identify boundary conditions that will change • Automatically build all linkages and files • Build the CSM • Choose the GMS stand-alone calibrated run • Identify output location • Run models 5

  6. Discussion Topics • Example Application of Hierarchical Modeling • RT3D Area Source Simulation • Semi-analytical Groundwater Simulation 6

  8. Example Applicationof Hierarchical Modeling • RT3D • Semi-analytical Model • Compare Semi-analytical and Numerical modeling results 8

  9. Problem Description • A source of Non-Aqueous Phase Liquid (NAPL) TCE, which is leaching into an aquifer. • TCE degrades to DCE and VC • No DCE or VC initially exists at the source • TCE concentration emanating from the source simulates first-order loss over a vertical plane. • Simulate the fate and transport of TCE, DCE, and VC to and within the Saturated Zone 9

  14. Problem Summary • Area source release to an aquifer • Dispersivity (x, y, z: 20, 2, 0.2 ft) • Kd (TCE, DCE, VC: 0.57, 0.25, 0.17 mL/g) • Bulk Density (1.6 g/cm3) • Porosity (total and effective) (30%) • Numerical grid • Chain degradation (TCE → DCE → VC) • Representative Source-term Values • Time-varying source-term (i.e., aquifer) concentrations (see curve) • Source-term dimensions (L, W, Th: 221.4, 700, 19.75 ft) • Darcy velocity (317.6 cm/yr) • Half Life: TCE, DCE, VC: 4.744 (RT3D), 10.7 (Source), 3.795, 9.489 yr • Aquifer • Downgradient output location: 50 ft, 180 ft • Aquifer thickness (numerical grid) (59.75 ft) • Darcy velocity: 317.6 cm/yr • Water solubility: TCE, DCE, VC: 1100, 2250, 2670 mg/L • Half Life (anaerobic zone): TCE, DCE, VC: 4.74, 3.795, 9.489 yr • Half Life (aerobic zone): TCE, DCE, VC: 1.90, 3.795, 9.489 yr 14

  17. Select a GMS Project File (pre-calibrated RT3D model) • Under the Tools menu, choose GMSImport • Browse for the location of the Calibrated GMS Project File (*.gpr file). The user originally stored the file, so the user knows where it is located. 1 2 17

  37. Assumptions/Constraints • Semi-analytical model assumes • that the progeny travel at the same speed as the parent • one average, linear, unidirectional, pore-water velocity • that Dispersivities/Dispersion coefficients (in three dimensions) are spatially constant • that all hydrogeochemical properties are spatially constant • progeny formation based on Bateman’s equation 37

  38. Build the CSM with the Semi-analytical Model • Remove the Synchronization Operator • Choose the MEPAS 5.0 Aquifer Module • Save simulation with a different name 38
