Introduction to TechFlowMP
TechFlowMP is a three-dimensional numerical model that simulates the flow of multiple fluids (or multiphases), the transport of multiple chemicals, microorganisms, and the transport of thermal energy (or heat) through porous media in the subsurface.
- Phases (Fluids): Groundwater, gas, and non-aqueous phase liquid (NAPL).
- Chemicals and Microbes
- Chemicals: Volatile organic compounds, such as PCE, TCE, DCEs, VC, and BTEX, and nutrients/oxygen.
- Microbes: Aerobes and anaerobes, and pathogens.
- Thermal energy: Heat transport through porous media (Nonisothermal subsurface environment).
- Transport mechanisms and processes: Advection, dispersion, and chemical and biological reactions in single/multiple phase flow.
- Numerical technique: Galerkin finite element method.
- Code information
- Programming language: C/C++ and Microsoft Visual C++ with object-oriented programming.
- Supporting platforms: Lunix, UNIX, and Microsoft Windows with Qt-based graphical user interfaces (GUIs).
- High performance computing: OpenMP.
