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...
متن کاملPreferential 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...
متن کاملQuantifying colloid retention in partially saturated porous media
[1] The transport of colloid-contaminant complexes and colloid-sized pathogens through soil to groundwater is of concern. Visualization and quantification of pore-scale colloid behavior will enable better description and simulation of retention mechanisms at individual surfaces, in contrast to breakthrough curves which only provide an integrated signal. We tested two procedures for quantifying ...
متن کاملWave propagation in partially saturated porous media: simulation of a second slow wave
We simulate wave propagation in a partially saturated porous medium, where the novel feature is the presence of a second slow wave due to capillary forces. The pores are filled with a wetting fluid and a non-wetting fluid, and the model, based on a Biot-type three-phase theory, predicts three compressional waves and one shear wave. Moreover, the theory models the realistic attenuation levels ob...
متن کاملSimulation of gaseous diffusion in partially saturated porous media under variable gravity with lattice Boltzmann methods.
Liquid distributions in unsaturated porous media under different gravitational accelerations and corresponding macroscopic gaseous diffusion coefficients were investigated to enhance understanding of plant growth conditions in microgravity. We used a single-component, multiphase lattice Boltzmann code to simulate liquid configurations in two-dimensional porous media at varying water contents fo...
