Probability density function of steady state concentration in two-dimensional heterogeneous porous media
[1] Spatial variability of hydraulic aquifer parameters causes meandering, squeezing, stretching, and enhanced mixing of steady state plumes in concentrated hot-spots of mixing. Because the exact spatial distribution of hydraulic parameters is uncertain, the spatial distribution of enhanced mixing rates is also uncertain. We discuss how relevant the resulting uncertainty of mixing rates is for ...
متن کاملVelocity Probability Density Functions from Altimetry
Probability density functions (pdfs) are employed to evaluate the distribution of velocities in the global ocean. This study computes pdfs of ocean surface velocity using altimetric data from the TOPEX/Poseidon satellite. Results show that the shape of the observed pdfs changes with the size of the domain over which they are calculated: if data are drawn from a small region of the ocean, the pd...
متن کاملTopological Mixing in Three-Dimensional Porous Media
The topological complexity inherent to all porous media can impart complicated transport dynamics under steady flow conditions. Recently, it has been established [2] that such topological complexity imparts ubiquitous and persistent chaotic advection via a 3D fluid mechanical analogue of the baker’s map. In the presence of molecular diffusion, chaotic Lagrangian dynamics are well-known to impar...
متن کاملNumerical Simulation of Three-Phase Flow in Heterogeneous Porous Media
We describe an efficient numerical simulator, based on an operator splitting technique, for three-phase flow in heterogeneous porous media that takes into account capillary forces, general relations for the relative permeability functions and variable porosity and permeability fields. Our numerical procedure combines a non-oscillatory, second order, conservative central difference scheme for th...
متن کاملOperator Splitting for Three-Phase Flow in Heterogeneous Porous Media
We describe an operator splitting technique based on physics rather than on dimension for the numerical solution of a nonlinear system of partial differential equations which models three-phase flow through heterogeneous porous media. The model for three-phase flow considered in this work takes into account capillary forces, general relations for the relative permeability functions and variable...
