Using groundwater age distributions to estimate the effective parameters of Fickian and non-Fickian models of solute transport.
Groundwater age distributions are used to estimate the parameters of Fickian, and non-Fickian, effective models of solute transport. Based on the similarities between the transport and age equations, we develop a deconvolution based approach that describes transport between two monitoring wells. We show that the proposed method gives exact estimates of the travel time distribution between two w...
متن کاملInsights into non-Fickian solute transport in carbonates
[1] We study and explain the origin of early breakthrough and long tailing plume behavior by simulating solute transport through 3-D X-ray images of six different carbonate rock samples, representing geological media with a high degree of pore-scale complexity. A Stokes solver is employed to compute the flow field, and the particles are then transported along streamlines to represent advection,...
متن کاملAn Analytical Model of Fickian and Non-Fickian Dispersion in Evolving-Scale Log-Conductivity Distributions
The characteristics of solute transport within log-conductivity fields represented by power-law semi-variograms are investigated by an analytical Lagrangian approach that accounts for the automatic frequency cut-off induced by the initial contaminant plume size. The transport process anomaly is critically controlled by the magnitude of the Péclet number. Interestingly enough, unlike the case of...
متن کاملElectrical characterization of non-Fickian transport in groundwater and hyporheic systems
[1] Recent work indicates that processes controlling solute mass transfer between mobile and less mobile domains in porous media may be quantified by combining electrical geophysical methods and electrically conductive tracers. Whereas direct geochemical measurements of solute preferentially sample the mobile domain, electrical geophysical methods are sensitive to changes in bulk electrical con...
متن کاملSignature of non-Fickian solute transport in complex heterogeneous porous media.
We simulate transport of a solute through three-dimensional images of different rock samples, with resolutions of a few microns, representing geological media of increasing pore-scale complexity: a sandpack, a Berea sandstone, and a Portland limestone. We predict the propagators (concentration as a function of distance) measured on similar cores in nuclear magnetic resonance experiments and the...
