Re: PhreeqC -- thanks



Many thanks for the prompt response.  It is encouraging to know that you
linked phreeqC with a fortran solute transport model, and the computational
efficiency was good.

Some of the possibilities I can think are (1) link the fortran solute model
to Phreeqc through a DLL, (2) write results of phreeqC, and the fate and
transport model at each iteration/time step to a disk and read (for each
module) -- this could slow things if we simulate a large 3D problem for a
lengthy duration!. Did you use a different approach? There are a few
software that can convert a C program into a Fortan but it is a little risky
with complex programs.

I very much appreciate your help in this matter.
