Analytical and Numerical solutions
Numerical solution:• Finite element method• Finite difference method
MicroFEM software: ĥ = f (i,x,y)• horizontal flow -> triangular finite elements• vertical flow components -> finite differences
Analytical solutions: Fully 3-dimensional: h = f (x, y, z) Multilayer approximation: h = f (i, x,
y) Dupuit approximation: h = f (x, y)

Conclusions
1 - Simple finite element experiments
layered aquifer varying anisotropies
2 - Analytical models confirm numerical results complete view of whirl patterns easier tool for the study of whirls
3 - Heterogeneous analytical models spatially varying cell anisotropies → complex whirl patterns
whirls
![Page 40: What process is simulated by these moving dots ? a)- Diffusion b)- Dispersion c)- Advection d)- Free convection e)- Something else f)- This is NO groundwater.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070407/56649e315503460f94b22c8d/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Consequences of whirls
a - Increased lateral and vertical
exchange of groundwater
between layers (beds)
b - Increased contaminant spreading
within aquifers ( ‘dispersion’ )
? - Can transport models do without
layering and anisotropy ?
