Abstract

To simulate numerical reactive transport problems, OpenGeoSys(OGS), a scientific open-source software, is coupled to the IPhreeqc module of the geochemical solver PHREEQC(PQC). This new coupling scheme (hereinafter referred to as “OGS#IPhreeqc”) is capable of simulating various chemical reactions alongside different processes such as water flow and solute mass transport.
