Virtual 3D Groundwater Solute Transport Modules for Simulating an Underground Pipe Failure

Publication: World Environmental and Water Resources Congress 2016

Abstract

Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) established standards for different water quality constituents for surface and ground water. Understanding the behavior of the contaminating sources, the contamination movement with ground and surface waters are extremely crucial in keeping the environment clean and maintaining the ecosystem. Visualizing the solute transport through porous media is very essential in planning the remedial strategies with viable economic options. In this research work, an outreach and research modules were developed with simple user friendly immersive virtual 3D visualization concept. These modules will facilitate the users in understanding the complex process of contaminant movement with the ground water when an underground fuel pipeline failure occurs. When students/users enter the virtual environment, they can fly through the system and visualize and relate the issues. This will be extremely helpful to educate the public about the possible risks during such events.
