Primary source:
User’s Guide to SEAWAT: A Computer Program for Simulation of Three-Dimensional Variable-Density Ground-Water Flow
By Weixing Guo and Christian D. LangevinU.S. Geological SurveyTechniques of Water-Resources Investigations 6-A7, Tallahassee, Florida2002
USGS• HST3D
– Three-dimensional flow, heat, and solute transport model • HYDROTHERM
– Three-dimensional finite-difference model to simulate multiphase ground-water flow and heat transport in the temperature range of 0 to 1,200 degrees Celsius
• MOCDENSE – Temperature is assumed to be constant, but fluid density and viscosity are
assumed to be a linear function of the first specified solute. • SEAWAT and SEAWAT-2000
– A computer program for simulation of three-dimensional variable-density ground water flow
• SHARP– A quasi-three-dimensional, numerical finite-difference model to simulate
freshwater and saltwater flow separated by a sharp interface in layered coastal aquifer systems
• SUTRA and related programs – 2D, 3D, variable-density, variably-saturated flow, solute or energy transport
Others• 3DFATMIC
– 3-D transient and/or steady-state density-dependent flow field and transient and/or steady-state distribution of a substrate, a nutrient, an aerobic electron acceptor (e.g., the oxygen), an anaerobic electron acceptor (e.g., the nitrate), and three types of microbes in a three-dimensional domain of subsurface media.
• 3DFEMFAT – 3-D finite-element flow and transport through saturated-unsaturated media. Combined sequential flow and
transport, or coupled density-dependent flow and transport. Completely eliminates numerical oscillation due to advection terms, can be applied to mesh Peclet numbers ranging from 0 to infinity, can use a very large time step size to greatly reduce numerical diffusion, and hybrid Lagrangian-Eulerian finite-element approach is always superior to and will never be worse than its corresponding upstream finite-element or finite-difference method.
• FEFLOW – FEFLOW (Finite Element subsurface FLOW system) saturated and unsaturated conditions. FEFLOW is a
finite element simulation system which includes interactive graphics, a GIS interface, data regionalization and visualization tools. FEFLOW provides tools for building the finite element mesh, assigning model properties and boundary conditions, running the simulation, and visualizing the results.
• FEMWATER – 3D finite element, saturated / unsaturated, density driven flow and transport model
• SWICHA (old)– three-dimensional finite element code for analyzing seawater intrusion in coastal aquifers. The model
simulates variable density fluid flow and solute transport processes in fully-saturated porous media. It can solve the flow and transport equations independently or concurrently in the same computer run. Transport mechanisms considered include: advection, hydrodynamic dispersion, absorption, and first-order decay.
• TARGET (old)– 3D vertically oriented (cross section), variably saturated, density coupled, transient ground-water flow, and
solute transport (TARGET-2DU); – 3D saturated, density coupled, transient ground-water flow, and solute transport (TARGET-3DS).
Freshwater Head
• SEAWAT is based on the concept of equivalent freshwater head in a saline ground-water environment
• Piezometer A contains freshwater
• Piezometer B contains water identical to that present in the saline aquifer
• The height of the water level in piezometer A is the freshwater head
Densities
• Freshwater: 1000 kg m-3
• Seawater: 1025 kg m-3
• Freshwater: 0 mg L-1
