1. Conversion to Transient Particle Tracking
Groundwater Modeling
Conversion to Transient
Particle Tracking

2. Transient Simulation Time dependent variables
Recharge (e.g. winter vs. summer)
Abstraction (daily or monthly schedule)
Observation ( time series of water level or concentration)
Calibration ( comparing the time series..)
Used for prediction
Solution considers ∆S/ ∆t ≠ 0

4. # of time steps

5. Particle Tracking
Used for tracking contaminates/particle or tracers from sources to destination at different time steps.
Examine the effectiveness of recovery schemes in their ability to capture all the contaminants
Examine the extent where the contaminants can travel
Calculate the travel time and distance
