“…However, this is beyond the scope of the current study. For the purpose of this study, we assign appropriate boundary conditions on the surfaces of the drift wall, invert, and drip shield on the basis of results fiom the Multiscale Thermohydrologic Model (MSTHM) [8,9,101. The MSTHM, which is based on porousmedium Darcy-flow approximations, predicts the coupled thermal-hydrological conditions at both drift-scale and mountain-scale.…”

“…In this study, we used the NUFT (Nonisothermal Unsaturated-saturated Flow and Transport) code, which was developed at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) to simulate multi-phase multicomponent heat and mass flow and reactive transport in unsaturated and saturated porous media (Nitao, 1998;Buscheck et al, 2003;Johnson et al, 2004aJohnson et al, , 2004bCarroll et al, 2009;Morris et al, 2011). The pore and fluid compressibility are 4.5 × 10 -10 and 3.5 × 10 -10 Pa -1 , respectively.…”

“…The Monod-type reaction and inhibition terms become one and the kinetics are controlled only by the power law format in this case. The verification and validation of transport and reaction capabilities are described in Buscheck et al (2003) and Hao et al (2010). Although the simulation-emulation approach is applicable to a wide range of reaction kinetics, we prefer to use the sequentially reactive transport as a benchmark problem for demonstrating the methodology.…”
