Description
Summary:We developed novel, computationally efficient, methods as effective screening tools to analyze seawater intrusion processes in highly heterogeneous coastal aquifer systems. They enable delineation of pumping wells capture zones and swept zones associated to injection wells for remediation of seawater encroachment. Forward or backward travel times and residence time distributions are robustly simulated and visualized on the computational grid. These steady-state indicators, precomputed at fine grids, are used to generate optimal locally refined grids for efficient transient solute transport simulations.
