      <abstract>Simulations of one-dimensional (1-D) diffusion and adsorption of trichloroethene (TCE) in a 
rock matrix are conducted using rock properties identified from a mudstone aquifer in the 
Newark Basin, near West Trenton, New Jersey. The simulations are conducted using a 
finite-difference algorithm that was prepared for this investigation to solve the equation 
for 1-D diffusion and linear equilibrium adsorption. The simulations are conducted for a 
hypothesized 1-D section of a rock matrix and the georeferencing is based on the locations 
of the rock core samples that were collected and analyzed as part of this investigation. 
The rock matrix is assumed to be adjacent to a fracture, where the TCE concentration 
in the fracture is responsible for diffusion into and out of the rock matrix. The fraction of 
organic carbon (foc) in the rock matrix can either be spatially uniform or spatially variable. 
Spatial variability in foc is defined from the mean and standard deviation of a log-normally 
distributed parameter. Other rock properties controlling the diffusion and adsorption of TCE 
in the rock matrix are assumed to be spatially uniform. Simulations of diffusion and adsorption 
into the rock matrix are conducted for four cases. These cases are: 
(1) spatially uniform foc equal to the average of foc from all rock samples; 
(2) spatially uniform foc equal to the maximum foc from all rock samples; 
(3) spatially uniform foc equal to the average foc from the Black Fissile (BLK-FIS) mudstone samples; 
(4) spatially variable foc defined from the statistics of the BLK-FIS mudstone samples. This USGS 
data release contains all of the input and output files for the simulations described in the associated 
journal article (https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jconhyd.2018.09.001).</abstract>
      <purpose>The simulations were conducted to investigate the effect of the spatial variability of foc on the 
retention and release of TCE in a rock matrix. Simulations using spatially variable and spatially 
uniform foc are conducted to compare the effect of spatial variability in foc on the longevity of 
TCE remaining in the rock matrix.  The development of the model input and output files included 
in this data release are documented in the article published in the Journal of Contaminant 
Hydrology (https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jconhyd.2018.09.001).</purpose>
      <supplinf>Support is provided for correcting errors in the data release and clarification of the modeling 
conducted by the U.S. Geological Survey. Users are encouraged to review the journal article 
(https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jconhyd.2018.09.001) to understand the purpose, construction, 
and limitations of the model and simulations. The model archive is broken into several pieces
to reduce the likelihood of download timeouts. Instructions for reconstructing the original 
directory structure and running the models included in this data release and described in the 
journal article can be found in the readme.txt ASCII file which can be downloaded as part of 
this data release.</supplinf>
