Simulate groundwater flow and contaminant migration in porous and fractured media for risk assessment and remediation.
What you'll learn
Apply mathematical modeling for groundwater flow, contaminant transport, heat transfer, and radionuclide migration in porous and fractured media using PORFLOW.
Perform long-term groundwater risk assessments for nuclear waste disposal and storage facilities, including near-surface sites and deep geological repositories.
Simulate saturated, unsaturated, and vadose zone flows under both steady-state and transient conditions.
Model contaminant transport in fractured media, including solute migration, plume evolution, and hydraulic responses.
Requirements
No prior experience with PORFLOW is required — all modeling steps are covered in the course.
A basic understanding of hydrogeology, groundwater flow, or contaminant transport concepts is recommended to get the most value from the simulations.
Description
Groundwater plays a critical role in water supply, environmental protection, and nuclear waste management. Understanding how water and contaminants move through saturated and unsaturated zones, as well as fractured media, is essential for hydrogeologists, engineers, and researchers.This course provides a complete introduction and a detailed understanding to groundwater flow and contaminant transport modeling using PORFLOW, an industry-leading simulation tool. Through step-by-step tutorials, you will learn how to set up, run, and interpret models for a wide range of hydrogeological scenarios.We begin with the fundamentals of diffusion and convection–diffusion processes, then move on to saturated flow problems such as aquifer pumping tests, steady-state flows, and irregular geometries. You will also explore unsaturated zone flow, including Phillips benchmark problems and steady infiltration. Finally, we cover transport simulations, modeling solute migration in layered aquifers and fractured rock systems.By the end of this course, you will be able to:Build and run groundwater flow and transport models in porous and fractured media.Simulate saturated and unsaturated zone flows under realistic boundary conditions.Evaluate contaminant transport pathways and perform long-term groundwater risk assessments.Whether you are a student, researcher, or professional, this course will help you apply mathematical modeling techniques to real-world groundwater challenges.
Who this course is for
• Hydrogeologists and groundwater engineers seeking to strengthen their modeling skills for saturated, unsaturated, and fractured media.
• Environmental engineers and consultants working on groundwater contamination, remediation, and aquifer management projects.
• Nuclear waste management professionals and regulators involved in repository design, long-term risk assessments, and safety evaluations.
• Researchers and graduate students in hydrogeology, environmental sciences, or civil engineering looking to apply mathematical modeling tools in their studies.
• Industry practitioners interested in learning mathematical modeling of groundwater flow and contaminant transport.
