Numerical simulation of groundwater flow in backfilled open-pits for BDZ deviation performance

This dataset contains simulated groundwater flow entering multiple backfilled open-pits with mine wastes (flowrate results) and some Python script to visualize the data.<br> The objective was to predict the blast damage zone (BDZ) created by mine excavation on the flowrate through the backfilled wastes.<br> Flowrates were obtained by 3D numerical simulation using PFLOTRAN finite volume code (www.pflotran.org).<br> Conceptual model of the BDZ and equivalent permeability was derived from Rousseau and Pabst (in press) and Mourzencko et al. (2012) (see https://hal.archives-ouvertes.fr/hal-01196684/file/mourzenko2012.pdf).<br> Number of cases simulated: 40500, with 40496 converged numerical simulations.<br> Calculated were performed using the High Performance Computing Ressource of Calcul Quebec (www.calculquebec.ca/) and Compute Canada (www.computecanada.ca/)
