Example 16: Monte Carlo Simulation

Previous pageReturn to chapter overviewNext page

This example illustrates the use of the Monte Carlo simulation feature, in conjunction with the Variable Properties and Passive Sink features. The landfill model used in Case 15 is modified to simulate uncertainty in the time of failure of the primary leachate collection system. In this example the failure time is given a triangular distribution, with a minimum of 15 years, a mode of 25 years, and a maximum of 50 years.
