STOMP Short Course (January 2006)

A STOMP short course was offered at the Center for Earth and Environmental Sciences, University of Hyderabad, January 2-5, 2006.

STOMP, an acronym for subsurface transport over multiple phases, is a model for simulating multifluid subsurface flow and transport developed by the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory's Hydrology Group. The STOMP Short Course, taught by the code developers, Drs. Mark White, Mart Oostrom, and Prasad Saripalli, provided new users with an introduction to applying the simulator.

The course combined lectures and laboratories; where, students were guided through ten simulation problems, designed to demonstrate the simulator's features. Simulation problems varied in complexity, including saturated and unsaturated flow, solute transport, salt-water brine, nonaqueous phase liquid flow, volatile dense nonaqueous phase liquid flow, partition tracers, carbon dioxide sequestration, and nonisothermal coupled thermal and hydrologic transport.

STOMP Short Course (March 2005)

A STOMP short course was offered at Colorado State University, March 10-11, 2005. The course immediately followed the 25th Annual AGU Hydrology Days, March 7-9.

STOMP, an acronym for subsurface transport over multiple phases, is a model for simulating multifluid subsurface flow and transport developed by the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory's Hydrology Group. The STOMP Short Course, taught by the code developers, Drs. Mark White and Mart Oostrom, provided new users with an introduction to applying the simulator. The course combined lectures and laboratories; where students were guided through ten simulation problems. These include problems of solute transport, saltwater intrusion, residual NAPLs and NAPL infiltration, DNAPL vapor behavior, partitioning tracers and CO₂ sequestration.

STOMP Short Course (June 2003)

The STOMP Short Course was given at Delft University by Mark White and Mart Oostrom in June, 2003. The problems from the course have also been included on this web site to help new STOMP users learn the simulator. The problems demonstrate that a thorough knowledge of the particular groundwater physics governing the problem is a prerequisite to accurate simulations. The problems provide insight into the effects of numerical diffusion, saturation functions, tortuosity functions, the courant and peclet numbers, and many other groundwater parameters the modeler can control. The problems are in pdf files, but txt files of the parameters file and the input file are also available. The parameters file may need to be changed for some of the exercises. Solutions to some, but not all, of the exercises has also been provided. All graphs provided were created with TecPlot 9.2, but the STOMP data files can be easily formatted for use with any graphical software.
