SEAM3D: A Numerical Model for Three-Dimensional Solute Transport and Sequential Electron Acceptor-Based Bioremediation in Groundwater

Abstract

The purpose of this report is (a) to describe SEAM3D, a three-dimensional numerical model for calculation of subsurface transport and biodegradation of multiple aqueous phase solutes using multiple EAs and nutrients in a fully saturated porous medium; (b)to present scenarios for verification of the SEAM3D computer code; (c) to present results of a field scale application of SEAM3D to an unconfined aquifer contaminated by gasoline; and (d) to provide detailed information on model input, output, and execution.
