TRANSPORT Simulation Environment (TRANSPORTSE) | TRANSPORTSE
The TRANSPORT Simulation Environment (TRANSPORTSE) is an open-source, Python-based tool, which can be integrated with different geochemical and thermodynamic modules to address complex reactive transport processes in subsurface systems. Designed for accessibility, it enables users with limited programming expertise to model 3D single-phase fluid flow, heat transfer, and multicomponent solute transport in porous media. Chemical feedback mechanisms dynamically adjust porosity, permeability, and fluid properties, while customisable equations of state and boundary conditions offer full user control. The code’s parallelisation capabilities enhance computational efficiency, verified through benchmarks including density-driven flow and reactive transport scenarios. Applicable across scientific fields, TRANSPORTSE supports subsurface utilisation studies such as geothermal energy production, energy storage, water resource management, and nuclear waste disposal.
