Scientific Abstract

The project included the mathematical modelling of natural attenuation processes in the subsurface and the extension of a software tool for complex reactive multicomponent processes in the framework of mixed hybrid and conforming finite elements. New  parameter identification methods allow the parametrization of unknown functions or a formfree optimization, and help to overcome the dilemma of missing data in complex models. Work included instationary 3D simulations and scenarios of  contaminated sites explored by project partners. The findings of the joint research project resulted in guidelines for authorities and consulting engineers dealing with natural attenuation at contaminated sites.
