Problem 6 – NAPL infiltration and redistribution in a 2D aquifer system

Abstract: The first objective of this two-part example is to investigate the effects of fluid density and viscosity on the movement of NAPLs after a spill in a partly saturated, hypothetical, aquifer. The user will investigate the effects of NAPL fluid properties on infiltration and redistribution. The objective of the second part is to compute steady-state initial conditions through a separate simulation. The Restart file generated by this simulation is used to define the initial conditions for the actual infiltration event. The Water-Oil mode (STOMP4) is used for this application.
