Modeling Matrix Diffusion
Several different modeling approaches have been developed to emulate the diffusive transport of dissolved solutes into and out of lower K zones. The Matrix Diffusion Toolkit[1] is a Microsoft Excel based tool for simulating forward and back diffusion using two different analytical models[2][3]. Numerical models including MODFLOW/MT3DMS[4] have been shown to be effective in simulating back diffusion process and can accurately predict concentration changes over 3 orders-of-magnitude in heterogeneous sand tank experiments[5]. However, numerical models require a fine vertical discretization with short time steps to accurately simulate back diffusion, greatly increasing computation times[6]. These issues can be addressed by incorporating a local 1-D model domain within a general 3D numerical model[7].
The REMChlor - MD toolkit is capable of simulating matrix diffusion in groundwater contaminant plumes by using a semi-analytical method for estimating mass transfer between high and low permeability zones that provides computationally accurate predictions, with much shorter run times than traditional fine grid numerical models[8].
