Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of geological information system management software development, and in particular to a solute transport calculation method based on a hydrogeological model. Background Art

[0002] A hydrogeological model is a model used to study the interaction between groundwater and geological conditions. It is a three-dimensional model that combines knowledge of geology and hydrology and uses information such as hydrogeological strata and groundwater resources. Through hydrogeological models, researchers can predict the flow direction, speed and water quality changes of groundwater, as well as evaluate the sustainable utilization of groundwater resources. These models play an important role in groundwater management, environmental protection and water resources planning. The hydrogeological model construction technology we are currently using is based on the three-dimensional layered geological body automatic modeling technology of ZGIS.

[0003] The attribute data in the hydrogeological model is used to describe the permeability characteristics of underground rock formations or soils, including parameters such as permeability, porosity, and pore structure, which play an important role in simulating groundwater flow and hydrological cycle processes. Solute transport simulation is a simulation method used to study the migration and transmission process of dissolved substances (solutes) in groundwater. This simulation is usually based on a model of groundwater flow and takes into account processes such as diffusion, adsorption, reaction, and degradation of solutes in groundwater. Through solute transport simulation, researchers can predict the concentration distribution, migration speed, and diffusion range of solutes in groundwater, as well as evaluate the response and impact of groundwater pollution. These simulations have important application value in groundwater pollution assessment, environmental risk assessment, and groundwater resource management.

[0004] At present, the tools used for solute transport simulation (hereinafter referred to as simulation) in China are mainly MODFLOW and the calculation tool software based on MODFLOW secondary development. The data input, data processing operations and steps required for simulation vary according to the development manufacturers, and the existing hydrogeological models cannot be directly used. In the simulation, the corresponding hydrogeological data often need to be re-entered, which limits the efficiency of data analysis and application. Even based on the same hydrogeological data, due to the different abstract understanding of the model by the users, the preprocessing and input of the data required for simulation are also different, which affects the accuracy and consistency of the simulation results. Summary of the invention

[0005] The present invention provides a solute transport calculation method based on a hydrogeological model, which aims to solve the problem that the simulation program data input is cumbersome and cannot be well combined with the existing hydrogeological model.

[0017] Furthermore, the environmental information includes information about lakes, rivers, oceans and groundwater bodies.

[0018] Furthermore, the method also includes: after adjusting the top and bottom plate heights and layered structures of the corresponding cells and assigning parameters to the corresponding hydrogeological grids, artificially adjusting the grid parameters and grid structure of the hydrogeological grids through human-computer interaction based on the actual hydrogeological conditions.

[0019] Furthermore, other simulation data include simulation initial condition data, historical simulation data and hydrological and meteorological data. When there is no simulation initial condition data, the historical simulation data is used as the simulation initial condition data for this simulation. The hydrological and meteorological data includes hydrological and meteorological information such as rainfall, evaporation, and seepage.

[0020] Furthermore, in step 4, MODFLOW and MT3DMS are used as transport simulation calculation modules, and the input parameters required by MODFLOW and MT3DMS are extracted from the grid model to perform simulation calculations of groundwater flow and solute transport in groundwater.

[0021] Furthermore, the method also includes: in step 4, the migration simulation calculation results are discrete point head and concentration data with time series, the spatial position information of the discrete points corresponds to the cell space information in the grid model, and after the calculation results are read, the calculation data is associated with the cells in the grid model and stored in the database.

[0022] Furthermore, the method also includes visually displaying the calculation results, specifically including:

[0023] The calculated data is extracted from the database, and the center points of the cells in the grid model are used as the spatial coordinates of the discrete points. The simulation results are converted into three-dimensional models, plane diagrams, and solute transport animations using spatial interpolation, and corresponding statistical charts are generated.

[0024] The present invention has the following beneficial effects:

Figure 1 As shown, a solute transport calculation method based on a hydrogeological model provided by an embodiment of the present invention includes:

[0032] Step 1, superimposing the hydrogeological grid in the grid model obtained in the solute transport simulation with the hydrogeological model in three-dimensional space;

[0033] Step 2: Each hydrogeological grid automatically adjusts the top and bottom plate heights and layered structures of the corresponding cells according to the top and bottom plate elevations and layered structures of the corresponding strata in the superimposed hydrogeological model, and assigns parameters to the corresponding hydrogeological grids using the hydrogeological parameters in the hydrogeological model. In this way, the assignment and structural adjustment of the hydrogeological grids are completed.

[0034] Step 3, assigning values ​​to other simulation data of the hydrogeological grid in the grid model according to the actual conditions of the simulation area, wherein the other simulation data are parameters required for the migration simulation operation and not in the hydrogeological model;

[0035] Step 4: extract the parameters required for the transport simulation operation from the grid model, and perform groundwater flow and solute transport simulation calculations in groundwater through the transport simulation calculation module.

[0036] The schematic diagram of the hydrogeological model is as follows: Figure 2 As shown, the grid model is composed of multiple hydrogeological grids, and the schematic diagram of the grid model with adjusted top and bottom plate heights of the cells and layered structure is shown in Figure 3 shown.

[0037] Among them, other simulation data include simulation initial condition data, historical simulation data and hydrological and meteorological data. When there is no simulation initial condition data, the historical simulation data will be used as the simulation initial condition data for this simulation. The hydrological and meteorological data includes hydrological and meteorological information such as rainfall, evaporation, and seepage. In this way, data input can be combined with the actual situation of the simulation area.

[0038] The present invention fully considers the problems that many solute transport simulation software have various and complicated data input items during the simulation process, which require high model understanding ability of researchers and the manual processing is cumbersome and non-intuitive. It uses an existing hydrogeological model to automatically generate the grid structure and related boundary data input required for the simulation, which not only improves the work efficiency of solute transport simulation but also ensures the accuracy and consistency of hydrogeological data.

[0039] In some embodiments, a hydrogeological model is established by collecting hydrogeological data; or an already constructed hydrogeological model file is directly imported, wherein the hydrogeological model includes various hydrogeological parameters required for simulation.

[0040] In some embodiments, step 1 further comprises:

[0044] In some embodiments, the method further includes: after performing the three-dimensional space superposition, using the hydrogeological model to automatically input boundary conditions, specifically including:

[0045] Obtain a three-dimensional view after three-dimensional spatial superposition, perform spatial superposition analysis based on the hydrogeological model, automatically identify the environmental information in the hydrogeological model, superimpose the environmental information in the hydrogeological model with the grid model in the three-dimensional view, and assign corresponding boundary conditions to the corresponding hydrogeological grid based on the environmental information.

[0046] The environmental information includes information about lakes, rivers, oceans and groundwater bodies.

[0047] In the above embodiment, by automatically identifying information such as lakes, rivers, oceans, groundwater bodies, etc. in the hydrogeological model, it is superimposed and displayed with the grid model in a three-dimensional view, and the corresponding simulation unit grids are automatically assigned corresponding boundary conditions.

[0048] Boundary conditions are used to describe the interaction between the groundwater system and the external environment. By setting these boundary conditions, the groundwater flow and solute transport processes can be simulated more accurately.

[0049] In some embodiments, the method further includes: after adjusting the top and bottom plate heights of the corresponding cells, the layered structure and the parameter assignment of the corresponding hydrogeological grid, based on the actual hydrogeological conditions, manually adjusting the grid parameters and grid structure of the hydrogeological grid through human-computer interaction, thereby realizing manual intervention for grid correction.

[0050] In some embodiments, in step 4, MODFLOW and MT3DMS are used as transport simulation calculation modules, and the input parameters required by MODFLOW and MT3DMS are extracted from the grid model to perform simulation calculations of groundwater flow and solute transport in groundwater.

[0051] Among them, MODFLOW is a finite difference model used to simulate groundwater flow. MT3DMS is an extension module of MODFLOW, focusing on the simulation of solute migration. It is suitable for the migration of chemical substances in groundwater. MT3DMS expands the function of solute migration on the basis of MODFLOW and can handle complex solute migration processes.

[0052] In this step, all cells in the grid model, i.e. the hydrogeological grid, are traversed, and information such as the cell elevation, spatial coordinates, hydrogeological parameters, and boundary conditions are organized into an input format recognizable by the calculation module.

[0054] After the data required for the simulation is input, the system will perform integrity and feasibility checks. If the checks pass, the MODFLOW and MT3DMS calculation programs will be called to perform simulation calculations. The specific calculation method is not the focus of this article and will not be elaborated in detail.

[0055] In some embodiments, the method further includes visually displaying the calculation results, specifically including:

[0056] The calculated data is extracted from the database, and the center points of the cells in the grid model are used as the spatial coordinates of the discrete points. The simulation results are converted into three-dimensional models, plane diagrams, and solute transport animations using spatial interpolation, and corresponding statistical charts are generated. The export of simulation results is also supported.
