Solute Transport in Heterogeneous Porous Media
Solute mass transport in porous media is strongly correlated with pore fluid flow. The analysis of solute transport is an effective means for studying medium heterogeneities. In this study, we discuss the effects of heterogeneity on the tracer transport. Assuming steady fluid flow, we have simulated tracer transport in various permeability heterogeneities. The results show that the tracer distr...
متن کاملQuantitative imaging of contaminant distributions in heterogeneous porous media laboratory experiments.
Intermediate-scale laboratory experiments on heterogeneous porous media have been increasingly used for the study of saturated and unsaturated ground water systems. While the ability to reproduce field-scale heterogeneity in these experiments has advanced, the use of visualization or image analysis methods to characterize the spatial distribution of solute concentrations has largely remained at...
متن کاملDispersion variance for transport in heterogeneous porous media
[1] We study dispersion in heterogeneous porous media for solutes evolving from point-like and extended source distributions in d 1⁄4 2 and d 1⁄4 3 spatial dimensions. The impact of heterogeneity on the dispersion behavior is captured by a stochastic modeling approach that represents the spatially fluctuating flow velocity as a spatial random field. We focus here on the sample-to-sample fluctua...
متن کاملVirus transport in physically and geochemically heterogeneous subsurface porous media.
A two-dimensional model for virus transport in physically and geochemically heterogeneous subsurface porous media is presented. The model involves solution of the advection-dispersion equation, which additionally considers virus inactivation in the solution, as well as virus removal at the solid matrix surface due to attachment (deposition), release, and inactivation. Two surface inactivation m...
متن کاملEffective Macrodiffusion in Solute Transport through Heterogeneous Porous Media
Homogenization method is used to analyse the equivalent behavior of transient flow of a passive solute through highly heterogeneous porous media. The flow is governed by a coupled system which includes an elliptic equation and a linear convection-diffusion concentration equation with a diffusion term small with respect to the convection, i.e. a high Peclet number is considered. Asymptotic expan...
