HYDRUS-PHREEQC-HP1 Training Course & One-Day Workshop, Mol, Belgium
February 20 - 23, 2006
Belgium Nuclear Research Centre, SCK-CEN, Mol, Belgium
The shortcourse deals with a new comprehensive simulation tool HP1 (Hydrus-1D - PHREEQC) that was developed by coupling Hydrus-1D with the PHREEQC geochemical code. HP1 includes modules simulating (1) transient flow in variably-saturated media, (2) the transport of multiple components, and (3) mixed equilibrium/kinetic geochemical reactions. HP1 may be used to simulate a broad range of low-temperature biogeochemical reactions in water, soil and groundwater systems including interactions with minerals, gases, exchangers, and sorption surfaces, based on thermodynamic equilibrium, kinetics, or mixed equilibrium-kinetic reactions. The three-day HP1 shortcourse includes theoretical and hands-on computer sessions on vadose zone flow and transport (based on Hydrus-1D), geochemical modelling (based on PHREEQC), and coupled reactive transport in variably saturated media (based on HP1). The shortcourse is followed by a one-day workshop covering various topics related to ”Modelling vadose zone flow and transport processes in radioactive waste management”.
