Summary and Conclusions<br />

Boundary-fitted curvilinear grid capabilities were<br />

incorporated into a suite of multifluid subsurface flow and<br />

transport simulators (sequential and parallel<br />

implementations), being used to provide scientific<br />

rationale to the restoration and management of the vadose<br />

zone and groundwater at contaminated government sites<br />

(e.g., Hanford Site). Directives and coding were<br />

developed for a FORTRAN 90 programmable<br />

preprocessor for multi-block applications. We concluded<br />

that multi-block grids comprising structured curvilinear<br />

sub-grids are an effective approach for simulating<br />

complex geometries in the subsurface (such as geologic<br />

features and engineered structures), yielding accurate<br />

representations while maintaining the efficiencies of<br />

parallel computing.<br />
