GSMOD: Tutorial 1 - Chloride plume in the Grey Chalk of Hertfordshire, United Kingdom

This tutorial explains how to add stochastic modelling capabilities to an existing flow and transport model using GSMOD, and the type of results that can be obtained. The original numerical model was implemented to study the evolution of a chloride plume in the Grey Chalk of Hertfordshire, United Kingdom (Little et al., 1996). Among other interesting aspects, the model includes dual porosity transport in order to represent the advection and dispersion processes through fractures, with diffusion into an immobile matrix.
