Abstract

Conceptual site model (CSM) development is a foundational step for numerical groundwater model construction. Tools for reviewing and combining disparate data to develop a CSM have been furthered through software that efficiently integrates multiple data streams, especially when a large amount of information is available at complex sites. Three-dimensional (3D) interfaces for data visualization and geological modeling are becoming commonly used to compile data, support development of a robust CSM, and create effective visuals that enable project stakeholders to understand site complexity. This article describes a 3D interface workflow applied to a geological and numerical groundwater modeling case study where numerical modeling (i.e., MODFLOW family of codes) was used to assess remedy effectiveness. Specifically, the numerical model was used to overview an in situ solidification (ISS) application, where soil mixing will be conducted with cement, for possible adverse effects to an existing groundwater treatment system. 3D geological modeling allowed for the existing numerical groundwater flow model to be reconstructed to include previously overlooked data on buried infrastructure, which led to a detailed depiction of high-permeability channels and a more accurate representation of site conditions. Modeling showed that the ISS remedy would not adversely impact the existing groundwater treatment system. Integration of existing data within a 3D interface led to hydrogeological insights that would have been difficult to obtain from two-dimensional visualization of information, improved numerical modeling efficiency, and informed site remedy decisions. Additionally, the 3D interface created effective visuals that increased internal and external project team conceptual understanding.

三维地质和数值地下水综合模型开发
场地概念模型(CSM)的开发是地下水数值模型构建的基础性步骤。通过有效集成多个数据流的软件,特别是当复杂站点有大量信息可用时,审查和组合不同数据以开发CSM的工具得到了进一步发展。用于数据可视化和地质建模的三维(3D)接口正被广泛用于编译数据,支持强大的CSM的开发,并创建有效的视觉效果,使项目利益相关者能够理解现场的复杂性。本文描述了一个应用于地质和数值地下水建模案例研究的3D界面工作流程,其中使用数值建模(即MODFLOW系列代码)来评估补救效果。具体而言,该数值模型用于概述原位固化(ISS)应用,其中将使用水泥进行土壤混合,以应对对现有地下水处理系统可能产生的不利影响。三维地质建模允许重建现有的地下水流数值模型,以包括以前被忽视的地下基础设施数据,从而对高渗透通道进行详细描述,并更准确地表示现场条件。建模表明,ISS补救措施不会对现有的地下水处理系统产生不利影响。将现有数据集成在三维界面中,可以获得难以从二维信息可视化中获得的水文地质见解,提高数值建模效率,并做出明智的现场补救决策。此外,3D界面创造了有效的视觉效果,增强了项目团队内部和外部的概念理解。
