The GoldSim Contaminant Transport Module is a mass transport model. A mass transport model is a mathematical representation of an actual system (e.g., the subsurface environment near a waste disposal site) which can be used to simulate (and hence predict) the release, transport (movement) and ultimate fate of mass within the system. The "mass" that is typically simulated is that of chemical contaminants that have been accidentally released or intentionally disposed of within the system.
The topics below provide a brief overview of the basic concepts involved in modeling contaminant transport using GoldSim.
