The third edition of the textbook Geochemical and Biogeochemical Reaction Modeling, published by Cambridge University Press, contains a complete description of the theoretical basis of the GWB calculations as well as a large number of fully worked examples.
The GBRM text is available in paperback and eBook editions directly from Cambridge. See also a number of book reviews of the second and first editions.
ChemPlugin™ User's Guide
ChemPlugin instances self-link into reactive transport models! Derived from the GWB compute engine, ChemPlugin lets you create RT codes simply, quickly, and reliably. ChemPlugin is ideal for repurposing legacy flow models as reactive transport simulators.
Download the ChemPlugin User's Guide for a step-by-step tutorial and detailed examples of the object's application.
