Objectives
- To develop groundwater flow models in 1D and 2D for confined and unconfined aquifer problems.
- To develop contaminant groundwater flow models including reactive transport in 1D and 2D for confined and unconfined aquifer problems.
- The transport model will include the radio-active decay and its transport process with radio-active nuclides related reactions/ decay.
- To develop coupled simulation model for flow and transport modeling using Meshfree methods in 1D and 2D for confinedand unconfined aquifers.
- To identify important field parameters for flow and transport through inverse modeling.
- Verification of models with available analytical/ other numerical results (FEM) available in literature. For validation/ benchmarking of the models, the problems will include all possible combinations of boundary conditions (Neumann, Dirichlet, Cauchy’s), source etc.
- To apply the developed models for hypothetical/ real field problems (if data is available) for groundwater contaminant transport.
