Re: salt lake modelling

Shaun,

Some questions.

Is it a rift basin and if YES, then are you concerned about the
thermohaline flow? If you take out the heat, it becomes simpler.
How have you conceptualized your problem in terms of 2-D or 3-D,
cross-section, or what? What is the scale of the problem?
Is this a scientific model where you'll be exploring model behavior or
are you looking to calibrate to heads or some other data?
Do you have data on the salinity gradient?

Is the top of you model flat or are you including advective forcing
due to gravity, such as flow off of the flanks of a rift basin?
Are you modeling the evaporite formation?

In the first instance we are trying to construct an idealized model. The situation is we have a lake that is hyper saline and was formed some time ago through...

Shaun You will need to run FEFLOW in solute transport mode that incorporates advection and dispersion. You will then need to set the density factor to a value...

Shaun Further to my earlier email - you should apply a flux constraint to the solute boundary so that water entering the model has a specified salinity (as...
