Role of benchmarking in assessing the capability to predict room response in bedded salt repositories

Creators

Description

An overview is presented of the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant (WIPP) Benchmark II study which was used to assess the accuracy and reliability of computer codes used to predict drift response. Emphasis is placed on the objectives and philosophy of Benchmark II and on procedures used to ensure that valid comparisons of results could be made. The problem definition, the selection of participants, and review procedures are all discussed. A sampling of results is also presented to illustrate the degree of variability in the results obtained with various computer codes
