3.5 Using Known Fluxes
For the contaminated aquifer case, the known flux capabilities of the
module can be applied to leaching only. Known flux capabilities can
be used in two ways. The first way to use known fluxes would be to
pass known leaching flux rates to the groundwater transport code.
The second way would be to "turn leaching off" by inputting a known leaching
flux of 0. The overall treatment of mass loss in the source-term
module does not change. The known leach rate replaces the calculated
value for [dMi /dt]leach in Equation 3.4. All
other calculations are done identically to the calculated flux cases.
