\title{Reactive transport modelling in 1D, 2D and 3D}
\description{
  
  R-package ReacTran contains routines that enable the development of
  reactive transport models in aquatic systems (rivers, lakes, oceans), 
  porous media (floc aggregates, sediments,...) and
  even idealized organisms (spherical cells, cylindrical worms,...).

  The geometry of the model domain is either one-dimensional, two-dimensional
  or three-dimensional.
  
  The package contains:
  \itemize{
    \item Functions to setup a finite-difference grid (1D or 2D)
    \item Functions to attach parameters and properties to this grid (1D or 2D)
    \item Functions to calculate the advective-diffusive transport term over
      the grid (1D, 2D, 3D)
    \item Utility functions
  }
