ABSTRACTThe HPF project (Hyperalkaline Plume in Fractured rock) at the Grimsel Test Site comprises an underground long-term field experiment in a shear zone, in-situ radionuclide transport experiments, two laboratory core infiltration experiments, sophisticated reactive transport modeling exercises, studies on radionuclide stability and solubility, innovative on-line measurement techniques and development of equipment for high-pH conditions (K-Na-Ca-OH, pH = 13.4 at 15 °C). Results to date indicate a decrease in the overall transmissivity of the tested shear zone over a duration of 2 years accompanied by channeling of flow as evidenced by repeat dipole tracer testing with Na-fluorescein, 82Br, 131I, 24Na, and 85Sr. The associated evolution in fluid chemistry indicates the in situ formation of Ca-Si-hydrates. Tracer transport modeling of dipole tests are based either on a heterogeneous porous medium approach or on discrete fracture models. Reactive transport modeling is achieving reasonable agreement with a laboratory core infiltration experiment. Integral to the project are supporting sorption / stability studies, colloid measurements, and development of analytical and measurement techniques.

Reactive transport modeling involves solving several nonlinear coupled phenomena, among them, the flow of fluid phases, the transport of chemical species and energy, and chemical reactions. There are different ways to consider this coupling that might be more or less suitable depending on the nature of the problem to be solved. In this paper we acknowledge the importance of flexibility on reactive transport codes and how object-oriented programming can facilitate this feature. We present PROOST, an object-oriented code that allows solving reactive transport problems considering different coupling approaches. The code main classes and their interactions are presented. PROOST performance is illustrated by the resolution of a multiphase reactive transport problem where geochemistry affects hydrodynamic processes.
