Scale Dependency of the Effective Matrix Diffusion Coefficient
It has been recognized that matrix diffusion is an important process for retarding solute transport in fractured rock. Based on analyses of tracer transport data from a number of field tests, we demonstrate that the effective matrix-diffusion coefficient may be scaledependent and generally increases with test scale. A preliminary theoretical explanation of this scale dependency is also presente...
متن کاملFracture-flow-enhanced Solute Diffusion into Fractured Rock
We propose a new conceptual model of fractureflow-enhanced matrix diffusion, which correlates with fracture-flow velocity, i.e., matrix diffusion enhancement induced by rapid fluid flow within fractures. According to the boundary-layer or film theory, fracture flow enhanced matrix diffusion may dominate mass-transfer processes at fracture-matrix interfaces, because rapid flow along fractures re...
متن کاملExperimental Determination of Effective Diffusion Parameters in the Matrix of Fractured Till
a solute diffuses may cause the observed, or effective diffusion coefficient (De) to be lower than the diffusion Diffusion is often the dominant mode of solute transport in soils coefficient of a compound in water (D0) (Rao et al., when advection is minimal. This paper describes the application of a radial diffusion cell method to estimate the effective diffusion coeffi1980). Moreover, exclusio...
متن کاملInvestigating the Effects of Heterogeneity, Injection Rate, and Water Influx on GAGD EOR in Naturally Fractured Reservoirs
The gas-assisted gravity drainage (GAGD) process is designed and practiced based on gravity drainage idea and uses the advantage of density difference between injected CO2 and reservoir oil. In this work, one of Iran western oilfields was selected as a case study and a sector model was simulated based on its rock and fluid properties. The pressure of CO2 gas injection was close to the MMP of th...
متن کاملCalculation of the Effective Diffusion Coefficient for Heterogeneous Media
1 Introduction In this paper we discuss the range of the applicability of our recent approach [1] for the effective diffusion coefficient (mobility) in two-phase systems, e.g. composite materials, porous media, polymer blends, matrices with inclusions. We derived the equation for D eff as a function of the partial diffusion coefficients of a defect (or probe particle) in inclusions, D 1 , with ...
