Main research areas
This research focuses on the numerical investigation of groundwater flow systems. This includes the separate and joint analysis of the different driving forces (e.g. hydraulic head and/or pressures differences, heat and mass transport processes, compaction, compression, etc.) that cause near-surface and deep groundwater flow in theoretical (e.g. Tóthian Unit Basin) and real (e.g. Buda Thermal Karst) systems. The main objective of the research is the development of a general and site-specific numerical method for the analysis of driving forces.
The aim of the project is to develop a method for numerically calculating the age of groundwater without the need for classical sampling-based age determination. The "mean age", which can be interpreted for each point in the groundwater flow system, can be determined using a modified version of the mass transport equation. The main aim of this research is to integrate this method into my previous work.
The topic is not a specific project, but a research direction, a surveying of the near-surface hydrogeological problems, data evaluation and numerical modelling. Some of the tasks already carried out in this field are: the time-dependent investigation of a theoretical managed aquifer recharge; the impact of time-varying water quantity in unsaturated zones on saturated zones; the modelling of dewatering management in a remediation area.
