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，这种水的质量容易受到污染。该项目旨在开发一种创新的污染物输送双尺度数学模型，该模型考虑了位于地表和地下地下水之间的含水层不饱和带中发现的小尺度非均质性。该项目旨在开发有价值的环境见解，一个模拟工具，将有助于制定有关澳大利亚地下水资源未来管理的决策，以及一个通用的双尺度建模和模拟框架，用于涉及异质介质中耦合运输的其他重要环境和工业问题。

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.
