Tutorial to simulate a contaminant plume from a waste dump with MODFLOW MT3DMS
/
Quick tutorial for the simulation of a contaminant plume from a waste dump.
This tutorial cover the following parts:
- Review of the groundwater flow regime
- Water table plot on cross section
- Set up of MT3DMS packages (ADV, DSP, SSM) and the contaminant species
- Setup of MODFLOW time
- Run the groundwater flow model
- Definition of hydraulic parameters and background concentration
- Implementation of the Waste Dump as a source on the Water Table
- Run the mass transport simulation
- Import results
The simulated species on this tutorial and their background concentration / source concentrations in mg/l are listed below
Sulphate: 0.448 / 1290
Fe: 2.61 / 286
Some other parameters related to the contaminant transport are:
Longitudinal Dispersivity: 10
Porosity: 0.02
