GMS:BCT Process

Example of the BCT Process dialog

The Block Centered Transport (BCT) package is needed if transport or density dependent flow is to be included in the model.

The BCT Process dialog is divided into two parts: one on the left which shows the main sections, and one on the right which shows the inputs for the current section.

Variables

Variables corresponding to item 1a in the BCT input file.

• Transport simulation flag (ITRNSP)
• Cell-by-cell mass flux unit (IBCTCB)
• Number of mobile species (MCOMP)
• Transport active domain (ICBNDFLG)
• Advective term (ITVD)
• Transport solution scheme (ICT)
• Inactive node concentration (CINACT)
• Concentration convergence tolerance (CICLOSE)
• Dispersion formula (IDISP)
• Cross dispersion (IXDISP)
• Molecular diffusion coeff (DIFFNC)
• Zero order decay (IZOD)
• First order decay (IFOD)
• Flux mass balance errors (IFMBC)
• Flow imbalance unit (MBEGWUNF)
• Mass imbalance unit (MBEGWUNT)

Species

The list of species. The number of species should equal the Number of mobile species (MCOMP) field in the Variables section. Each species should have a row in the section. On each row the Species ID is shown and the Species Name can be entered.

Use the Add Row button to create species. Species can be removed using the Delete Row button.

Aquifer Properties

Cell-by-cell inputs independent of species such as porosity.

Species Properties

Cell-by-cell inputs that depend on the species, such as adsorption.
