The course employs a mix of lectures and practical hand-on
training. The latter consist in tutorials and exercises to be
completed individually or in small groups. The course devotes more
than half of the time to computer labs.

Overordnede kursusmål:
The course aims to provide students the technical skills required
to apply reactive transport modelling to environmental groundwater
quality understanding and management. The course is designed to
introduce the participants to the model-based quantification of a
wide range of water quality problems with a major focus on the fate
of water-sediment/rock interactions and on modelling the fate of
organic and inorganic contaminants in groundwater.
Læringsmål:
En studerende, der fuldt ud har opfyldt kursets mål, vil kunne:
Analyse and quantitatively describe groundwater flow and
transport
Identify the governing processes and build conceptual
models
Understand the basics of geochemical modeling
Understand the coupling between geochemical and transport
modeling
Use a reactive transport modeling framework to describe
physical, chemical and biological subsurface processes
Apply the theoretical framework with hands-on experience in the
computer lab
Learn how to apply reactive transport modelling to real-world
water quality problems
Learn how to use the modeling tools MODFLOW, MT3DMS, PHREEQC
and PHT3D (which couples MT3DMS and PHREEQC)
Kursusindhold:
The course will cover: Basics of groundwater modelling; Advective
and dispersive solute transport; Development of conceptual models;
Numerical solution schemes; Constructing MODFLOW/MT3DMS flow and
solute transport models; Overview of hydrochemical processes;
Principles of modeling biogeochemical processes such as
complexation reactions, mineral dissolution/precipitation, ion
exchange, surface complexation reactions, biodegradation of organic
compounds and other redox-controlling processes; Modeling of
equilibrium and kinetically controlled reactive processes with
PHREEQC, including surface complexation reactions; Coupled modeling
of multi-dimensional transport and chemical reactions using PHT3D;
Selected model applications for the fate of inorganic pollutants
(e.g., ammonium, zinc, uranium and arsenic plumes, zinc in
secondary effluent discharge, uranium from mine tailings impact on
groundwater), and water supply (ASR, deepwell injection) will be
presented and studied in lab exercises.
Litteraturhenvisninger:
Scientific papers describing relevant applications of reactive
transport modelling to water-quality problems will be distributed
to the course participants before the beginning of the
course.
