id=\"h-key-modeling-insight-1-start-with-a-1-d-estimate\">Key Modeling Insight #1: Start with a 1-D Estimate<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Before running a full MIGRATE simulation, users should:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Estimate the <strong>travel time of the contaminant front<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Or estimate the <strong>position of the front at a given

class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Fourier integration<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Talbot integration<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Because MIGRATE solves <strong>2-D
