MULTIMED for Windows

Available Now!

Landfill Design Evaluation

MULTIMED for Windows Main ScreenMULTIMED for Windows is an easy to use fate and transport model.  It  presents the user with the familiar standard Windows forms and controls.  This model uses windows exclusively -- the user builds MULTIMED input, executes MULTIMED, and views and graphs output within the Windows environment.  Plus, MULTIMED for Windows can read all of your old DOS MULTIMED (version 1.01) input files at the click of a button.  And, the part of the execution module that makes calculations in MULTIMED for Windows is the same as the version currently distributed by EPA, so your old files will give the same result they gave with the DOS version.  MULTIMED for Windows will quickly pay for itself in time savings over the old DOS MULTIMED. 

  • Steady-state or transient source term
  • Numerical flow model for unsaturated zone
  • Analytical transport for unsaturated zone that includes first-order decay, sorption, and longitudinal dispersion
  • Flow field assumed uniform and steady in the saturated zone
  • Three-dimensional dispersion in the saturated zone with first-order decay and sorption

The MULTIMED for Windows graphical user interface makes it easy to set up and execute MULTIMED data files, even those involving complex multi-layer unsaturated zone cases.  Output files generated by the model can be reviewed within the MULTIMED for Windows environment.  Graphs of selected outputs are created with a flexible plotting module that allows you to create, edit, and save x-y plots.

Plotting Module Features
  • Produces standard, pre-defined plots

  • Creates graphics using simple (lines, symbols, text) and compound (axes, legends) objects and allows user customization of most objects

  • Produces printed output of the highest quality available on your printer

  • Saves settings as templates for application to later graphics

Value Added Benefits

  • Allows the user to easily simulate a wide range of cases

  • Produces graphics quickly, allowing the user to immediately see the impact of changing system variables

  • Allows the user to focus less on the mechanics of using the model, and more on the parameter values describing the geohydrological system

MULTIMED is used primarily in conjunction with the Hydrological Evaluation of Landfill Performance (HELP) model as a tool to evaluate landfill designs that differ from the standard design dictated by the EPA and some states.  In fact, MULTIMED was developed by EPA for this purpose and is the only transport model that some states will allow for alternative design evaluation.  Allison Geoscience personnel were involved in the development of the current DOS MULTIMED (Version 1.01) and have given seminars and authored documents describing its use in evaluating landfill designs.
