RT3D is a multi-species reactive transport model developed by the Battelle Pacific Northwest National Laboratory. RT3D is a modified version of MT3DMS that utilizes alternate Chemical Reaction packages. Numerous pre-defined reactions are available and an option is provided for creating user-defined reactions. RT3D is well-suited for simulating natural attenuation and bioremediation.
Since RT3D is a modified version of MT3DMS, most of the input to RT3D is identical to the input required for MT3DMS. Thus, the RT3D interface is contained within the MT3D menu in the 3D Grid module. In the Basic Transport Package dialog, an option is provided for selecting the current model as either MT3DMS, RT3D, or SEAM3D. A number of options in the interface then change based on which model is selected.
Since much of the RT3D interface is identical to the MT3DMS interface, only the portions of the interface which are unique to RT3D are described in this help file.
