Two-scale numerical modelling of coupled transport in heterogeneous media

地下水是澳大利亚水资源的重要组成部分，然而，地下水的水质容易受到污染。该项目旨在开发一种创新的两尺度污染物运移数学模型，该模型解释了位于地面和地下地下水之间的含水层的非饱和带中发现的小规模非均质性。该项目旨在开发有价值的环境洞察力、有助于就澳大利亚地下水资源的未来管理作出决策的模拟工具，以及涉及非均匀介质中耦合运输的其他重要环境和工业问题的通用双尺度建模和模拟框架。

Groundwater constitutes a vital part of water resources in Australia, however, the quality of this water is susceptible to contamination. This project aims to develop an innovative two-scale mathematical model for contaminant transport that accounts for small-scale heterogeneities found in the unsaturated zone of an aquifer located between the ground surface and the underlying groundwater. The project aims to develop valuable environmental insights, a simulation tool that will help in making decisions regarding the future management of Australian groundwater resources, and a general two-scale modelling and simulation framework for other important environmental and industrial problems involving coupled transport in heterogeneous media.
