MCPhreeqc 2.0

Phreeqc is used for modelling many different types of natural geochemical processes. What they all have in common is that there is an uncertainty about the exact value of the parameters used. In the classical modelling method, the model is calibrated to find the “correct” values of these parameters. Another approach is to apply stochastic modelling using Monte-Carlo simulations. A probability distribution is chosen for each parameter. Then combinations of random values are generated according to these distributions. For each combination Phreeqc needs to be run. The results of all these runs is then combined to show the uncertainty for specific output variables, given the uncertainty of the input parameters.

Description

The software MCPhreeqc provides a way to do Monte-Carlo simulations automatically. As input it uses a Phreeqc input file, a PDF for each of the uncertain parameters and the settings for the Monte Carlo simulation. It comes with a graphical user interface to enter the configuration of the simulations that need to be run. In addition it can automatically generate histograms and scatter plots from the results. Simulations can be run in parallel to benefit from all the processor cores in your machine

It is written in the programming language Python and is released under an open source license (LGPL). In short, this means that you can copy and install it on as many computers as you like. You can get the source code freely and you can even modify the source code. Any changes made to the source code need to be made public, if they are redistributed. All use of the software is at your own risk. Any questions concerning the installation or use of this software can be directed to modelling.solutions@amphos21.com.
