Description
For giving basic understandings of the long-term safety of geologic isolation of high level radioactive wastes in a coastal deep subsurface region, behavior of the Freshwater-Saltwater Transition Zone (FSTZ), which might be a key factor in estimating and predicting the coastal groundwater flow field, is examined through numerical case studies. The author presents, in the sequential two papers, the results of 2-D cross-sectional model studies under static/dynamic boundary conditions.<BR>In this paper, the numerical results under static boundary conditions are presented. They can be summarized as follows.<BR>(a) Under the same boundary conditions, two different processes, i. e., a washing-out process starting from saltwater saturated condition and a saltwater intrusion process starting from saltwater/freshwater separated condition, produce almost the same shape of FSTZ at steady state.<BR>(b) The lower the regional permeability becomes, the longer the time required for attaining equilibrium of FSTZ becomes.<BR>(c) Push-out of FSTZ to sea side by freshwater may occur when the rate of infiltration is high, and/or rock anisotropy is high, and/or the topographic high exists.<BR>(d) Existence of a fault with relatively lower permeability than the peripheral rock may have greater effect on the position and shape of FSTZ, than that with higher permeability.
