POLLUTEv7 can be used to provide fast, accurate, and comprehensive contaminant migration analysis capabilities. This program implements a one and a half dimensional solution to the advection-dispersion equation.
Unlike finite element and finite difference formulations, POLLUTEv7 does not require a time-marching procedure, and thus involves relatively little computational effort while also avoiding the numerical problems of alternate approaches.
With more then fifteen years utilization in industry, POLLUTEv7 is a well tested contaminant migration analysis program which is widely used internationally.
Models that can be considered range from simple systems on a natural clayey aquitard to landfill designs with composite liners, multiple barriers and multiple aquifers.
In addition to advective-dispersive transport, POLLUTEv7 can consider non-linear sorption, radioactive and biological decay, transport through fractures, passive sinks, time-varying properties, and phase changes.
The new Windows Interface makes the creation, editing,, execution, printing and displaying of models easy and flexible. Models can be created from scratch, using the program Wizard, or by selecting one of the many pre-created models.
The program is based upon the project concept for data storage, where the user has numerous projects and within each project there are numerous models. Using this method, a Microsoft Access database is used to store each project. Each project is stored in a separate directory, which can be on the same computer or spread across a network. A master database is used to keep track of projects and their locations, so that there is no need to remember the location of data files.
POLLUTEv7 is a Windows program and is compatible with Windows 98, 2000, NT, and XP. It supports all of the fonts and printers available in Windows.
