Developing predictive understanding of subsurface flow and reactive geochemical transport through the use of Akuna: An Open Source and High-performance Workflow System for Subsurface Simulation
EMSL Project ID
51186
Abstract
The primary objective of this project is to deploy and demonstrate how the Akuna software can be used to facilitate efficient modeling and analyses to address costs and benefits of engineering and remediation decisions. The Akuna software provides an easily-accessible set of tools to perform advanced subsurface simulations of complex systems that does not require a high level of expertise in HPC or reactive transport modeling (RTM). Currently, Akuna supports the subsurface flow and reactive transport simulators, eSTOMP (Fang et al. 2018) and Amanzi (Coon et al. 2016; Moulton et al. 2012), as well as GEOSIM (Ramanathan et al. 2010, Guin et al. 2010), which generates geologically realistic heterogeneous property distributions that can be used in eSTOMP and Amanzi simulation. The primary goal is to test and highlight Akuna capabilities, engage end users in applications, and provide feedback to software developers on software performance.
