Abstract
The Global Random Walk algorithm (GRW) performs a simultaneous tracking on a fixed grid of huge numbers of particles at costs comparable to those of a single-trajectory simulation by the traditional Particle Tracking (PT) approach.
Statistical ensembles of GRW simulations of a typical advection-dispersion process in groundwater systems with randomly distributed spatial parameters are used to obtain reliable estimations of the input parameters for the upscaled transport model and of their correlations, input-output correlations, as well as full probability distributions of the input and output parameters.
