Viewing an External Pathway in the Browser

The browser An alternative view of a GoldSim model, in which elements are displayed in a tree, and organized either hierarchically, or by type. view of an External pathway A transport pathway element that provides a mechanism by which external program modules for contaminant transport (e.g., analytical, finite elelement, or finite difference models) can be directly integrated into GoldSim. is shown below:

Note: Element inputs and outputs are only shown in the browser if you choose to Show element subitems (accessed via the browser context menu by right-clicking in the browser).

The Properties folder contains the Boundary Condition, Species The chemical (or non-chemical, such as bacterial or viral) constituents that are stored and transported through an environmental system in a contaminant transport model. In GoldSim, the Species element defines all of the contaminant species being simulated (and their properties). input, and the Reference Fluid A special type of Fluid element that provides a basis for defining partition coefficients between media for the various species in the model (i.e., the ratio of the species’ concentration in the medium to its concentration in the Reference Fluid at equilibrium). input. The Species input is automatically linked to the nearest Species element when the External pathway is created. Similarly, the Reference Fluid input is automatically linked to the nearest Reference Fluid element when the pathways is created. These links cannot be changed, and are displayed for information purposes only.

Any mass flux links associated with the External pathway are organized into the Inflows, Outflows, and Diffusive Influxes folders. These folders are not shown if they are empty.
