Reactive Transport: Model Formulation and Problem Application - Part
I of II
10:30 AM-12:30 PM
Room: Ballroom B
Reactive transport modeling is playing an increasingly important role
in many scientific and engineering studies in the geosciences.
Increased resolution in spatial and process detail has paralleled the
steady but steep rise in computational performance over the last 5
years. This minisymposium focuses on recent developments in algorithm
design, computational methods, and model formulation that have made
sophisticated modeling analyses possible. The session will highlight
problem characteristics, numerical approaches to address these
characteristics, and application of these approaches to important
environmental problems.
