The Analytic Element Method (AEM) An analytic element is a mathematical function that is associated with a particular boundary condition and it is a solution of the governing groundwater flow equations. One kind of element represents flow to a pumping well, a second kind represents discharge to a stream segment, a third kind represents an area of recharge, and so on.

The Jiangpinghe concrete-faced rockfill dam, with a maximum height of 219 m, is located in the karst area in western Hubei Province, China. The bedrocks at the dam site are highly dissolved, in which karst conduits, faults, fractures and weak interlayers are developed. Given the complex geological conditions, a large-scale grouting curtain covering an area of 376,000 m2 was built to control ...

V = K * i. (where V is the velocity of the groundwater flow, K is the hydraulic conductivity, and i is the hydraulic gradient). We can apply this equation to the scenario in Figure 14.5. If we assume that the permeability is 0.00001 m/s we get: V = 0.00001 * 0.08 = 0.0000008 m/s. That is equivalent to 0.000048 m/min, 0.0029 m/hour or 0.069 m/day.

This paper presents an iterative scheme for the efficient simulation of groundwater flow in a two-dimensional, heterogeneous aquifer in which the hydraulic conductivity is anisotropic. The scheme is applicable to matrix equations arising from both mixed finite-element and cell-centered finite-difference approximations to the flow equations, and it extends readily to three space dimensions. The ...

Finite Element. The finite element method can also be used to solve the groundwater flow equation. There are several codes available; FEFLOW being the most popular. FEFLOW uses a finite element (triangular) mesh to represent the model domain. The use of triangles allows for a more efficient refinement around wells and boundaries.

As groundwater flows through the ground, metals such as iron and manganese are dissolved and may later be found in high concentrations in the water. Industrial discharges, urban activities, agriculture, groundwater pumpage, and disposal of waste all can affect groundwater quality. Contaminants can be human-induced, as from leaking fuel tanks or ...

In this study, finite difference method is used to solve the equations that govern groundwater flow to obtain flow rates, flow direction and hydraulic heads through an aquifer. The aim therefore is to discuss the principles of Finite Difference Method and its applications in groundwater modelling. To achieve this, a rectangular grid is overlain an aquifer in order to obtain an exact solution.

Application of existing groundwater models include water balance (in terms of water quantity), gaining knowledge about the quantitative aspects of the unsaturated zone, simulating of water flow ...

MicroFEM (Hemker, 1997), a finite-element based, three-dimensional, integrated ground-water modeling package developed in The Netherlands, was chosen to simulate the ground-water flow systems in the Sacramento Valley Groundwater Basin. The current version of the program (4.003) has the ability to simulate up to 25 layers and 250,000 surface nodes.

The modeling of groundwater flow using the finite element method with three-dimensional (3-D) meshes creates a need to solve large systems of linear equations, Ax=b (1) at each of several nonlinear iterations. Here, A is the coefficient matrix, b is the known right-hand-side vector, and x is the unknown vector to be computed. Widely

GeoStudio offers a suite of products designed to address groundwater issues. The hydrogeological behaviour of a system can be analyzed under steady-state or transient conditions. Groundwater velocities can be used to model solute transport with first-order kinematic reactions such as decay or adsorption. Air transfer analyses can be included to study gas transport in the free and dissolved phases.

Groundwater flow & transport modeling: 2D: Analytical Element: MODAEM is an analytic element groundwater flow model that is defined by "analytic elements" rather than discritized cells as is the case with finite difference or finite element models resulting in a more simplified approach.

The steady-state flow of groundwater is described by a form of the Laplace equation, which is a form of potential flow and has analogs in numerous fields. The groundwater flow equation is often derived for a small representative elemental volume (REV), where the properties of the medium are assumed to be effectively constant.

Along the groundwater flow path, Eu concentrations remain essentially the same from well 43 to well 45, then increase to 161 ng/L for well 48. Following well 48, the next sample location along the direction of groundwater flow is well 49, which exhibits the lowest Eu concentration (7.5 ng/L).

SEEP2D is a two-dimensional finite element groundwater model developed by Fred Tracy of the U.S. Army Engineer Waterways Experiment Station (WES). SEEP2D is designed to be used on profile models (XZ models) such as cross-sections of earth dams or levees. SEEP2D can be used for either confined or unconfined steady state flow models.

The AEM model calculates a solution for each feature using the governing equation for groundwater flow described above. Individual analytic element solutions can be superimposed on one another in order to

Groundwater is the leading international journal focused exclusively on groundwater. Since 1963, it has published a dynamic mix of papers on topics including groundwater flow and well hydraulics, hydrogeochemistry and contaminant hydrogeology, application of geophysics, groundwater management and policy, and history of groundwater hydrology.

Advantages of both the finite difference and finite element methods are that the hydraulic conductivity can be easily varied throughout the aquifer system, the formulations are well suited for modeling transient flow, and they are comparatively straightforward. Both methods are discussed in detail in the literature on groundwater mechanics, e.g ...

The reduction/oxidation (redox) condition of ground water affects the concentration, transport, and fate of many anthropogenic and natural contaminants. The redox state of a ground-water sample is defined by the dominant type of reduction/oxidation reaction, or redox process, occurring in the sample, as inferred from water-quality data.

Ideally, the head of the stage in the river or stream would be based on flow in that channel, so there would be a surface water routing element in the model that defines the flow, which leads to the stage, and then is coupled with the groundwater system.
