The Limestone Wiki is composed of three major parts:
The first part is about the geology and hydrogeology and properties of limestone. The dominating physical processes in limestone aquifers and the equations to describe flow and transport processes in limestone aquifers are introduced. The second part contains information about field methods for obtaining data about the geology and hydrogeology, the flow and transport properties and the contaminant distribution and dynamics. It describes, how data from field and lab measurements contribute to improve the conceptual understanding of a contaminated limestone site. The third part of this Wiki gives an overview of simple and more complex modeling tools that can be used for the interpretation and prediction of flow and transport processes in fractured limestone aquifers (Chapter Model concepts). Fracture flow and transport models with different complexity for the modeling of contaminant transport are discussed, ranging from simple spreadsheet tools to advanced models that incorporate the fracture geometry. The suitability of the different models to simulate field data and to represent typical features of fracture flow and transport based on a field example are discussed. This chapter includes step-by-step instructions, how to setup a numerical model based on the Akacievej site, and recommendations for a good modeling practice are made in the Chapter Recommendations for modeling fractured limestone aquifers and comparison of model concepts. |
