Abstract

In several geoscientific and geotechnical disciplines such as hydrology, reser- voir, and environmental engineering fractured subsurface systems have re- ceived more attention concerning water supply from karst aquifers as well as in the context of waste deposition in the geologic subsurface. The fi- nite element program Rockflow-3 has been developed to simulate complex flow and transport processes of one and more fluid phases in subsurface hy- drosystems, combining coupled modules with the method of automatic grid adaptation. The velocity field is an important parameter of the transport equation, especially if advective mechanisms dominate the transport
