Modeling capillary barriers in unsaturated fractured rock
[1] This work presents a series of numerical modeling studies that investigate the hydrogeologic conditions required to form capillary barriers and the effect that capillary barriers have on fluid flow and tracer transport processes in the unsaturated fractured rock of Yucca Mountain, Nevada, a potential site for storing high-level radioactive waste. The modeling approach is based on a dual-con...
متن کاملSocial Accountability of Medical Education Curriculum: Barriers and Implications
Introduction: Social accountability of curriculum is considered as the director of all medical education activities towards the training of medical practitioners who could be able to contribute to health needs of a population. This study tried to investigate some barriers to medical education social accountability and summarize the experimental based proposals and recommendations in internation...
متن کاملTwo-phase flows involving capillary barriers in heterogeneous porous media
We consider a simplified model of a two-phase flow through a heterogeneous porous medium, in which the convection is neglected. This leads to a nonlinear degenerate parabolic problem in a domain shared in an arbitrary finite number of homogeneous porous media. We introduce a new way to connect capillary pressures on the interfaces between the homogeneous domains, which leads to a general notion...
متن کاملApplication of reactive transport modelling to growth and transport of microorganisms in the capillary fringe
A multicomponent multiphase reactive transport simulator has been developed to facilitate the investigation of a large variety of phenomena in porous media including component transport, diffusion, microbiological growth and decay, cell attachment and detachment and phase exchange. The coupled problem is solved using operator splitting. This approach allows a flexible adaptation of the solution...
متن کاملCapillary, interstitial, and cell membrane barriers to blood-tissue transport of potassium and rubidium in mammalian skeletal muscle.
Blood-tissue transport of 42 K, 8a Rb, and 22 Na was studied in perfused gracilis muscles of dogs to ascertain the influence of capillary wall, interstitial space, and muscle cell membranes on overall transport kinetics. Single-injection and continuous-infusion techniques were used, with T-1824 or 51 Cr-hemoglobin as nondiffusible references. Results were as follows: (1) Extraction (E) of the d...
