Demonstration of the Department of Defense Groundwater Modeling System (GMS) atColumbus Air Force Base, Columbus, MS

摘要

The primary purpose of this demonstration project was to determine the currentstrengths and weaknesses of the GMS (Version 1.2) and its groundwater models through a field modeling application. Although an attempt was made to calibrate the flow and transport models to measured data, the objective of this project was not to create a highly refined model of the MADE-2 experiment. The MADE-2 tracer experiment was selected for the application because the test is well-documented and the hydrogeologic database of the experiment was available. Additionally, accurate numerical simulation of this experiment is generally considered to be a difficult task. For this reason, this experiment should provide ample opportunity
