Synthetic tests

A total of 10 synthetic tests have been prepared to verify OpenWQ’s outputs against analytical solutions. Such tests should be performed regularly during development to ensure that OpenWQ is still performing accurately as expected.

The json-input files for each of these synthetic tests can be obtained from the folowing GitHub repository: https://github.com/ue-hydro/synthetic_tests

The table below summarizes the different tests:

	2_noTrans_1species 2ndorder	Batch reactor involving 1 chemical species subject to second-order decay
	3_noTrans_2species	Batch reactor involving 2 chemical species subject to first-order decay
	4_noTrans_3species	Batch reactor involving 3 chemical species subject to first-order decay
	5_noTrans_nitrogencycle	Batch reactor representing the nitrogen cycle
	6_noTrans_oxygenBODcycle	Batch reactor representing the dissolved oxygen cycle
Advection-Dispersion	7_trans_contS	PorMedia Non-reactive transport of 1 chemical species in porous media subject to a continuous load
