GEM-Selektor Development Status


ON-GOING

  • MILESTONE: Release of the Test Suite for GEM-Selektor v.3.5 package (TBD).
  • Development of TKinMet class library for mineral-fluid reaction kinetics and time-dependent trace element uptake.
  • Development of TSorpMod extension of TSolMod class library for surface complexation and ion exchange models.

  • Development of more phase models of mixing for the TSolMod class library, incl. sublattice solid solutions.

  • Development of the GEM2MT module for testing robustness of chemical system definition in simplified 1D or box-flux coupled mass transport-chemistry modeling (collaborators S.Dmitrieva, F.Enzmann, Th.Wagner)
  • Development of a UnSpace module for the model sensitivity analysis in "uncertainty space" (suspended).

COMPLETED
