Model setup

Model setup for fracture flow and transport in limestone aquifers

This chapter gives step-by-step instructions for the setup of a model to simulate flow and transport in a fractured limestone aquifer.

Modeling steps

The following list shows the typical steps to setup a model for contaminant transport in a fractured limestone aquifer:

1. Formulation of modeling objective
2. Delineation of model domain
3. Construction of conceptual model
4. Data acquisition - measurements to obtain specific model parameters
5. Choice of initial and boundary conditions
6. Flow chart giving an overview of the individual steps

The typical workflow will be demonstrated using an example field site close to Copenhagen.

Example: Setup of models for a field site (Akacievej, Hedehusene)
