Seawater Intrusion in a Coastal Aquifer
Application ID: 119121
Seawater intrusion is a critical issue in coastal regions, where it endangers both freshwater supplies and the overall quality of groundwater.
This example showcases seawater intrusion in a coastal aquifer where a pumping well is located at some distance from the shoreline.
The model incorporates a dual porosity approach in order to account for the distinctive condition where a low-conductivity aquifer intersects with highly conductive "lava tubes".
This model example illustrates applications of this type that would nominally be built using the following products:
however, additional products may be required to completely define and model it. Furthermore, this example may also be defined and modeled using components from the following product combinations:
The combination of COMSOL® products required to model your application depends on several factors and may include boundary conditions, material properties, physics interfaces, and part libraries. Particular functionality may be common to several products. To determine the right combination of products for your modeling needs, review the Specification Chart and make use of a free evaluation license. The COMSOL Sales and Support teams are available for answering any questions you may have regarding this.
