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

Example: Setup of models for a contaminated site with a fractured limestone aquifer (Akacievej, Hedehusene)

The typical workflow will be demonstrated using an example field site close to Copenhagen. Example: Setup of models for a field site (Akacievej, Hedehusene)
