WRRC Seminar - Exploring subsurface fluid flow and solute transport by HYDRUS

Exploring subsurface fluid flow and solute transport by HYDRUS 1, 2/3D

by Seo Jin Ki, Researcher, Water Resources Research Center, University of Hawaii at Manoa

Abstract:

Accurate and efficient simulation of water flow and solute transport remains a challenging area of research in the vadose zone, playing a crucial role in managing potential threats to public health and groundwater resources. In this talk, HYDRUS, a research tool for analyzing water, heat, and solute transport in the unsaturated zone, is introduced among various types of modeling software in both the public and commercial domains. Some principles of subsurface systems, models for describing non-equilibrium flow and transport, and numerical schemes behind governing equations will specifically be touched upon. The talk will include a discussion of practical applications of the HYDRUS model. Finally, examples of our recent research using the model will be briefly discussed.
