This post is intended to illustrate how to calculate the water age in a volume (3D model) or surface (2D model) based in the methodology proposed by Goode D.J. (1996).
The implementation in Comsol Multiphysics can be done in two different ways, namely by means of transient or steady-state simula... Read more...
In this post, Álvaro Sáinz, Marie Curie PhD student at Amphos 21, blogs about a COMSOL interface he has built to simulate conservative transport in porous media.
The interface was tailored to fulfill the needs of iCP, and it is now included as one of the capabilities in iCP v1.0.
An i... Read more...
In this post, Marek Pękala describes a recent application of Comsol at Amphos 21 to study the saturation with water of spent nuclear fuel. This work was financed by a 7FP project of the European Commission to study fast/instant release of safety relevant radionuclides from spent nuclear fuel. Com... Read more...
Dating groundwater is something that hydrogeologists like to do for different practical purposes. Conceptual modeling of aquifers, evaluating the sustainability of groundwater exploitation in arid and semi-arid areas, sitting a deep geological repository for radioactive waste are obvious examples...

In this post, Jordi Font, Senior Consultant and Project Manager at Amphos 21, blogs about a program (developed at AMPHOS 21), that calculates water inflows during excavation of underground galleries. The program, denoted as TunFlow, is based in the analitycal solution published by Perrochet and D... Read more...
