On coupled heat transport and water flow in partially frozen variably saturated porous media

Convergent mass conservative schemes for flow and reactive solute transport in variably saturated porous media

Three-dimensional analysis of variably-saturated flow and solute transport in discretely-fractured porous media

A discrete fracture, saturated-unsaturated numerical model is developed where the porous matrix is represented in three dimensions and fractures are represented by two-dimensional planes. This allows a fully three-dimensional description of the fracture network connectivity. Solute advection and diffusion in the porous matrix are also directly accounted for. The variably-saturated flow equation...

Preferential Flow Phenomena in Partially-Saturated Porous Media

Preferential flow in unsaturated porous media, in the form of fingers and channels, has been observed to take place in different types of media and at different scales. The preferential flow is caused by fluid instabilities, created by density or viscosity differences, or because of heterogeneities in the geological media. In this study, two very different types of preferential flow problems ar...

Waves in Partially Saturated Porous Media

E orts to extend the theory of poroelasticity to semilinear and nonlinear elastic response, to partially saturated pores, to inhomogeneous solid frame materials, and to viscous losses due to localized ow e ects are summarized. The prospects for a comprehensive theory of wave propagation in partially saturated porous media and the reasons for needing such a theory are also discussed. The main re...
