PHAST - A Computer Program for Simulating Groundwater Flow, Solute Transport, and Multicomponent Geochemical Reactions

Overview of PHAST

Example model grid from PHAST.

PHAST Is a computer program for simulating groundwater flow, solute transport, and multicomponent geochemical reactions. It uses PhreeqcRM (Parkhurst and Wissmeier, 2015) for the reaction engine.
