1、Designation:D544717Standard Guide forApplication of a Numerical Groundwater Flow Model to aSite-Specific Problem1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D5447;the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or,in the case of revision,the year of la
2、st revision.A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval.Asuperscript epsilon()indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1.Scope*1.1 This guide covers the application and subsequent docu-mentation of a groundwater flow model to a particular site orproblem.I
3、n this context,“groundwater flow model”refers tothe application of a mathematical model to the solution of asite-specific groundwater flow problem.1.2 This guide illustrates the major steps to take in devel-oping a groundwater flow model that reproduces or simulatesan aquifer system that has been st
4、udied in the field.This guidedoes not identify particular computer codes,software,oralgorithms used in the modeling investigation.1.3 This guide is specifically written for saturated,isothermal,groundwater flow models.The concepts are appli-cable to a wide range of models designed to simulate subsur
5、-face processes,such as variably saturated flow,flow in frac-tured media,density-dependent flow,solute transport,andmultiphase transport phenomena;however,the details of theseother processes are not described in this guide.1.4 This guide is not intended to be all inclusive.Eachgroundwater model is u
6、nique and may require additionalprocedures in its development and application.All such addi-tional analyses should be documented,however,in the modelreport.1.5 This guide is one of a series of standards on groundwa-ter model applications.Other standards include D5981,D5490,D5609,D5610,D5611,and D603
7、3.1.6 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns,if any,associated with its use.It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety,health,and environmental practices and deter-mine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.1.
