The information below provides a tool for you to evaluate this.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"import-Normal\">The Particle Flow software (Hsieh, 2001) can be used to explore the influence of hydraulic conductivity heterogeneity on the movement of particles in groundwater.

Or, if you use the online version, read the website materials about the software and click on the ParticleFlow button to launch it.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"import-Normal\">Using the software, as described below for Model 1 and Model 2 below, set up two models of the same total area, but with different cell sizes. In both models choose to randomize the properties, solve for heads (notice the similarities), under flow choose particle movement with particles spaced 10\u00a0m apart and input to view 100 days of travel time in 1 second of real time, then draw a shape to indicate where particles will be added and click on the flow field to start the particles moving. These steps are described in detail where you access the software.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li class=\"import-Normal\">Model\u00a01: use a cell size of 10\u00a0m with 100\u00a0columns and 25\u00a0rows, and a gradient of 0.002. Place particles on upgradient side and release.<\/li>\r\n \t<li class=\"import-Normal\">Model\u00a02: use a cell size of 50\u00a0m with\u00a020 columns and 5\u00a0rows, and a gradient of 0.002. Place particles on upgradient side and release.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<p class=\"import-Normal\">Rerun the simulation as many times as you want with different particle releases. Remember the differences are due to the size of zones with differing hydraulic conductivity. The zones are much larger in Model 2.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"import-Normal\">You may also wish to create your own patterns of heterogeneity.
