Modeling brine inflow to Room Q: A numerical investigation of flow mechanisms

Abstract: A hydrologic modeling study was performed to gain insight into the flow mechanisms around Room Q. A summary of hydrologic and structural data and of predictive fluid flow models from Room Q are provided. Six years of measured data are available from the time of excavation. No brine accumulation in Room Q was measured in the first two years following excavation. However, there is considerable uncertainty associated with this early-time data due to inadequate sealing of the room. Brine may have been lost to evap… Show more

“…The project essentially validated the use of Darcy's law for isothermal brine flow in salt, although they indicated "coupled hydrological and geomechanical models may provide a better understanding of the system" in their conclusions (Larsson et al, 1997). Freeze et al (1997) conducted a comparison between three different modeling approaches to simulate observed results from the WIPP large-scale brine inflow experiment (see Figure 4.17). They compared the ability of two numerical models and an analytical solution (McTigue, 1993) to match observed Room Q inflow data.…”
