Research Objectives
We have developed T2LBM, a module for the TOUGH2 simulator
that implements a Landfill Bioreactor Model. This model can simulate
processes of aerobic or anaerobic biodegradation of municipal solid
waste (MSW) and the associated flow and transport of gas and liquid.
We present an example study to verify the code against a laboratory
experiment carried out in a parallel effort. The overall objective
of our MSW landfill research is to investigate the advantages and
disadvantages of different landfill treatment approaches.
