Tracer transport modeling with the Alliances platform in the presence of evapotranspiration
2013
Abstract The knowledge and understanding of water flow and solute transport in the unsaturated zone is becoming increasingly important especially in mitigation of groundwater pollution. Fate of radionuclide in the geological environment is a topic to address in performance and safety assessment studies for nuclear waste disposal and may be modeled considering flow and transport in porous media. However, often, due to the heterogeneity and anisotropy of the real systems, the computer simulations may be difficult to render the real behavior. This paper addresses the simulation of a tracer transport in the unsaturated zone of the Saligny site, the potential location for the Romanian low and intermediate level waste (LILW) disposal. Computation was based on experimental data and was performed with the Alliances platform, a numerical tool developed by French organizations CEA, ANDRA and EDF. In order to obtain information regarding the solute migration in depth and the solute lateral dispersion, the dispersivi...
