Numerical modeling of coastal aquifer karst processes by means of coupled simulations of density-driven flow and reactive solute transport phenomena

Numerical modeling of coastal aquifer karst processes by means of coupled simulations of density-driven flow and reactive solute transport phenomena

Coastal karst features are supposed to be generated by the coupling between the infiltration of undersaturated rain water together with mixing from the fresh–saltwater interface. A coupled density-driven flow and reactive solute transport numerical model is presented which is able to duplicate condi...

Zusammenfassung:Coastal karst features are supposed to be generated by the coupling between the infiltration of undersaturated rain water together with mixing from the fresh–saltwater interface. A coupled density-driven flow and reactive solute transport numerical model is presented which is able to duplicate conditions in such a morphogenetic conceptual model.
