Theoretical basis for the measurement of local transverse dispersion in isotropic porous media
Spreading of a conservative solute in potential flow in a helical porous medium is dominated by the radial velocity distribution within the domain. Higher velocities at the inside of the helix compared to the outside leads to spreading that is balanced by transverse pore-scale dispersion. The angular moments of the concentration distribution exhibit the typical behavior of Taylor-Aris dispersio...
متن کاملPore-scale modeling of transverse dispersion in porous media
[1] A physically based description is provided for the transverse dispersion coefficient in porous media as a function of Péclet number, Pe. We represent the porous medium as lattices of bonds with square cross section whose radius distribution is the same as computed for Berea sandstone and describe flow (Stokes equation) and diffusion (random walk method) at the pore scale ( mm) to compute th...
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 کاملUpscaling and reversibility of Taylor dispersion in heterogeneous porous media.
Tracer flow in stratified porous media is dominated by the interaction between convective transport and transverse diffusive mixing. By averaging the tracer concentration in the transverse direction, a one-dimensional non-Fickian dispersion model is derived. The model accounts for the relaxation process that reduces the convective transport to dispersive mixing. This process is (short-) time co...
متن کاملDispersion in Heterogeneous Porous Media: One-Equation Non-equilibrium Model
Abstract. In this paper, the method of large-scale averaging is used to develop two different oneequation models describing dispersion in heterogeneous porous media. The first model represents the case of large-scale mass equilibrium, while the second represents the asymptotic behavior of a twoequation model obtained by large-scale averaging. It is shown that a one-equation, non-equilibrium mod...
