Purpose of Project

This Mesh was created for Test Bed Modeling is used to demonstrate EM HP computing capability for flow and transport in a geologically complex environment.
This is a large domain AMANZI model with 7M cells for Pahute Mesa transport corridor (Area 20, Bench and NW Caldera) using high-fidelity Earthvision model with 76 HSU's and 82 faults.
Particle tracking is run on the AMANZI->Walkabout tet mesh.

The domain is centered near ER-20-11 at 545777.5, 4116548.9 with a bottom at -1000 Meters and a top at ground surface and at watertable surface.
Horizontal spacing is 100 m and vertical spacing is 25m except in the conforming watertable version in which the elevations are stretched proportionally to fit the watertable surface.

This Earthvision Model updates an earlier HFM conceptualized distribution of lava flow aquifers and fault surfaces within the Calico Hills Hydrostratigraphic Unit of the Pahute Mesa Phase I with Pahute Mesa Phase II Hydrostratigraphic Framework Model.

Mesh Archives

These uniform grids have spacing of 100x100x25 meters. Note the mesh fit to watertable has variable spacing near 25m and conforming to the watertable surface. In this instance the xy spacing is regular, but vertical spacing is stretched to meet watertable.
Mesh Materials include 51 EV HFM zones (1-74) and 44 faults (101-181)
