abstract = {The SKB GroundWater Flow and Transport of Solutes Task
Force is an international forum in the area of conceptual
and numerical modeling of groundwater flow and solute
transport in fractured rocksrelevant for the deep geological
disposal of radioactive waste. Two in situ matrix diffusion
experiments in crystalline rock (gneiss) were performed at
POSIVA’s ONKALO underground facility in Finland.
Syntheticgroundwater containing several conservative and
sorbing radiotracers was injected at one end of a borehole
interval and flowed along a thin annulus toward the opposite
end. Several teams performed predictivemodeling of the
tracer breakthrough curves using “conventional” modeling
approaches (constant diffusion and sorption in the rock, no
or minimum rock heterogeneity). Supporting information,
derived from small-scalelaboratory experiments, was
provided. The teams were free to implement different
concepts, use different codes, and apply the transport and
retention parameters that they considered to be most suited
(i.e., not a benchmark exercise). The main goal was the
comparison of the different sets of results and the analysis
of the possible differences for this relatively simple
experimental setup with a well-defined geometry. Even though
theexperiment was designed to study matrix diffusion, the
calculated peaks of the breakthrough curves were very
sensitive to the assumed magnitude of dispersion in the
borehole annulus. However, given the verydifferent
timescales for advection and matrix diffusion, the tails of
the curves provided information concerning diffusion and
retention in the rock matrix regardless of the magnitude of
dispersion. In addition, although the task was designed to
be a blind modeling exercise, the model results have also
been compared to the measured experimental breakthroughs.
Experimental results tend to show relatively small
activities, wide breakthroughs,and early first arrivals,
which are somewhat similar to model results using large
dispersivity values.},
