Abstract

The paper deals with the introduction to combined schemes for numerical modelling of water transport of radionuclides through a rock massif modelled as a system of fractures. Inside the fracture system, Darcy flow of water is supposed. The combined schemes for solution of convective-reactive-diffusive transport of radionuclides with sorption and radioactive decay in the fracture flow field are mentioned and referenced and results of numerical computations are presented.
