Development of Soil Pollution Analysis System SPAS
SPAS is a computer software, based on the finite-element engine CONFEM, which solves various problems of seepage and contamination in soil, including landfill liners. It includes such features as global mass-conserving boundary conditions, automatic generation of detailed liner features and multiple-porosity mass transport. CONFEM is the outcome of eight years of contamination research by Abbas.
Over the last 12 months, an advanced graphic interface has been developed by Dr Nigel Balaam for CONFEM. This interface, together with CONFEM, constitute a complete computer simulation tool known as SPAS. SPAS is due to be released to 3rd parties at the end of 2008 or early 2009.
