英文摘要 | For simulating reactive transport on aquifer‐scale, various modeling approaches have been proposed. They vary considerably in their computational demands and in the amount of data needed for their calibration. Typically, the more complex a model is, the more data are required to sufficiently constrain its parameters. In this study, we assess a set of five models that simulate aerobic respiration and denitrification in a heterogeneous aquifer at quasi‐steady state. In a probabilistic framework, we test whether simplified approaches can be used as alternatives to the most detailed model. The simplifications are achieved by neglecting processes such as dispersion or biomass dynamics, or by replacing spatial discretization with travel‐time‐based coordinates. We use the model justifiability analysis proposed by Schöniger et al. [2015a] to determine how similar the simplified models are to the reference model. This analysis rests on the principles of Bayesian model selection and performs a tradeoff between goodness‐of‐fit to reference data and model complexity, which is important for the reliability of predictions. Results show that, in principle, the simplified models are able to reproduce the predictions of the reference model in the considered scenario. Yet, it became evident that it can be challenging to define appropriate ranges for effective parameters of simplified models. This issue can lead to overly wide predictive distributions, which counteract the apparent simplicity of the models. We found that performing the justifiability analysis on the case of model simplification is an objective and comprehensive approach to assess the suitability of candidate models with different levels of detail. |
