Required Cards:

CONSTRAINT <name>

specify the name of the constraint for future reference.

CONCENTRATIONS

solute concentrations are provided for the species in the following list.

<string> <float> <char> <optional string>

species_name concentration constraint_type constraint_species

Constraint type options:

• F = free ion concentration
• P = pH
• T = total aqueous component concentration
• M = concentration based on equilibrium with specified mineral (concentration is initial guess)
• G = concentration based on equilibrium with a gas (concentration is fugacity)
• S = total aqueous + sorbed component concentration (sorbed concentration [mol/m_bulk] must be converted to molarity [mol/L_water] by dividing by porosity * saturation * 1000).
• Z = charge balance (concentration is initial guess)

FREE_ION_GUESS

Provides PFLOTRAN with an initial guess for the free ion concentrations of the aqueous species and improves convergence of initial speciation calculations.

<string> <float>

species_name guess

MINERALS

mineral concentrations are provided for the minerals in the following list.

<string> <float> <float>

mineral_name volume_fraction specific_surface_area [m² mineral/m³ bulk]
