T-WAVE A COMPUTER CODE FOR ANALYZING THE NONSTEADY GRAVITY DECAY OF A GROUNDWATER ANOMALY

摘要

The T-WAVE Code is based on a one-dimensional numerical model describing the gravity decay of a groundwater mound. The Fortran program for the T-WAVE Code may be used to examine the time-dependent flow characteristics of anoma¬lous groundwater mounds resulting from underground nuclear explosions near or below the regional water table.nThe code allows the permeability and/ or porosity to be in either a cylindrical or spherical geometry surrounding the shot point, and it also allows for internal horizontal or vertical discontinuities of the permeability or porosity. It is also possible to follow the horizontal displace¬ment of ideally tagged water particles as a function of time.
